I've been riding in these gloves for a few months now. Overall they are extremely comfortable. This was my first kangaroo palm glove and I must say it's far more comfortable than cow hide. It molds better to your skin and It doesn't bunch under your grip so you get far more tactile feedback. I have also enjoyed how the glove doesn't pull when you grip something due to the segmented panels on the fingers and on the dorsum of the hand - very inventive design.
The protection these gloves offer is stellar - plenty of hard parts, padding, and quality materials throughout and the Knox system on a glove at this price point is an added bonus.
Though the out-stitching is super comfortable it does increase the tendency for the stitching to fray over time from contact with the velcro closures. Also I've not a huge fan of the double cuff closure - it noticeably increases the time and effort it takes to don and remove the gloves. Other than this minor annoyance these really are an amazing pair of gloves.

Will SAS-TEC Back Protector Fit?

I was wondering if the SAS-TEC Back Protector will fit in this jacket or if you would have to trim it down to Knox TP2 size first (I understand this will void the warranty.)
