    Ok I am seriously in the market for some new gloves, these new gloves will have to be wondergloves able to fend off thorny vines and lantana while still allowing my hands to breathe and good feel for controls, STM and trailboss have already endorsed Fox Bombers so thats a start.

    What are the recommendations of my fellow old bulls, and where to purchase these elusive wondergloves?

    holding my breath in anticipation.

    Blue give Mal a try at Sutto’s maybe he rides so he is normally on the money with most things, also you could speak with Rod I think it is had Mud n Tar, both good sponsors doing some good work for everyone

    In a bid to support a fledgling Aussie manufacturer and company (plus the price was exactomundo right) and willing to see if their claims are ture, plus I liked the name I ordered a set of these this arvo.

    followed them thru to ebay under a search for Bullpitt gloves, got the blue kevlar ones.

    figure it is introductory pricing to get a foot hold in the market.

    Actually menace got a shock with that one was just gunna order XL cause i’ve always had size 11-12 hands, but I was always a bush/mill worker up till 12 years ago and the Mrs said “your hands are not as big as they used to be ever since you became a girly management type” so i measured them and she was right upper threshold of “L” and if you know your gloves too big= chaffing.

    their site has excellent instructions on measurements.

    A mate of mine got buried 13 years ago with my fur lined Rivet all weather gauntlets on, he was wearing them when he died, so his family had them put back on…… best gloves I ever had too.

    Ok recieved my new Bullpitt Kevlar reoed gloves today, the size and colour i was after wasn’t availiable so mark from Bullpitt offered me a brand new improved design for the same money if i was prepared to wait for a fortnite….obviously i said yes. Now he has emailed me every few days to make sure i knew what was going on (excellent PR and customer service) and emailed me once he had dispatched them.
    Opened the packet ten minutes ago and first impressions were.
    Quality= ++++ best stitched and put together glove i have ever had.
    Fit= got the L, could’ve got the XL, bit firm but again i know they will stretch as I wear them in.
    Comfort= Top notch the knuckle protectors are a tad hard, but i have only ever had thin plastic or thick leather ones before, they took a few minutes to get used to.

    Materials= seem like all good quality, twin layers or some sort of space-tech stuff on the top to just behind your knuckles that leave a stretch area as you clench your fist, inner thumb reo, palm reo finger protection pads and good broad velcro tabs to do up and they actually come up past your wrist alittle unlike most off-road gloves.

    All in all so far it appears my punt has paid off, as they look and feel like “lifetime” gloves like my roadie gloves have been, excellent value at $30-$40, and an Aussie manufacturer at that let’s see how they go in the bush…..
