Re: which KH Pulse gloves to get?

I have the grey and the seem good. I also heard that the red are
heavier and less durable. Go grey!

Stitching comes apart on the old ones

If you get the red gloves you'll have to replace them in 6 months or
so... your fingers will stick out of the end of the gloves after the
stitching comes apart. I've seen this happen to many pairs of red KH
gloves, so this isn't a fluke!

Go grey!

I don't own any KH pulse gloves but every red pair ive seen has come
apart at the fingers.

My first pair of reds lasted for 1,500 miles of cokering and I'm not
sure how much muni before I blew out the end of one finger, mostly a
material blow-out rather than stitching. My second pair started
blowing out stitching on one of the thumbs within the first two weeks.
After a patch job on that, they've been okay for the last few hundred
miles. Unfortunately, I ordered them about one week before the grey
ones came out, else I would have headed that direction.

I had the red ones for about two weeks before the stitching on the
forefinger started to come apart, I have now been using them still
since october, they work but every once in a while I notice that there
is some air coming into my finger :p.

I also have the red ones and the finger stitching comes apart. I always
blamed it on my long nails, but no I see I'm not the only one.
Personally, I just sew them up every couple of months or so. I like
them, but they are starting to smell pretty strongly now, even though
I've washed them twice(once with bleach). I'll have to buy the grey
once next time I order something.

How does the cuff work if it hasn't got Velcro?
Is it buttons or something? I hope not.

just grab a rubber glove out from under the sink.

i did this for a while whilst practicing in the backyard, may not be to
asthetically pleasing but it certainly kicks ass on spending money

The red ones are rhe from last year.
The new ones are great except that the glove part needs a piece of
Velcro to keep it closed otherwise they are tough. The wristbrace part
is with elastic stretch and holds great.

OK, I'm bumping this thread, because I don't wanna open a new one.
So, I got the gray ones, but after a few months the stitching on the
index finger (that's the second one, right?) got unstitched😄 It's
going apart and at the bottom, where my wrist is, the black, fluffy
material is also coming away from the stitch.
I hope I got the description right😄

So, did this happen to anyone too?

Mine have been OK, but I have never "used" them (i.e. fallen on my
hands).

The grey stuff is getting a bit frayed on the surface from the velcro.
Other than that, they have been fine.

Perhaps you can get them sewn up at a shoe repair.
