Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.1 Gloves
For nearly 20 years, the Phoenix line of gear from Joe Rocket has been on my list of “best value” products. The Phoenix 5.1 are a minor upgrade of the Phoenix 4 gloves from several years ago.
This new 5.1 glove add touch compatibility for use with your cell phone, and keeps the major features from previous versions. The palm of the glove is leather for good abrasion resistance as well as providing good feedback from the controls. There are overlays of man-made suede to add some wear capability and to improve grip. There is just a slight bit of padding under the overlay in the heel of the hand.
The upper part of this glove is made of a combination of Free-Air™ mesh and perforated leather over the fingers, which means these gloves will be quite comfortable in warmer temps. A molded knuckle protector feels sturdy and looks good too.
These gloves will be great for hot weather use and compared to many short cuff, hot weather gloves, these feel more substantial than most. And they are value priced as well.
