Looks - Appearance
I think they look good, they arnt as in depth as the C7's but thats just fine. I got the Grey ones but they had a couple other options when they were being made. Dye is all over it, Big Logo on Top Center of the hand, Dye is also written in alot of places. I like this gloves overall design.
Venting - Performance
It has venting in enough places to keep your hands from getting to hot and sweaty, it breaths really good. The venting is on the sides, in the middle and in between the fingers.
Padding - Performance
The padding is decent and there is the right amounts in the right places where you are most likely to have your hand hit. Some parts will eventually wear down as the material can be pretty thin.
Other Functions - Performance and Reliability
The inside of the glove has lots of thin rubber so gripping is really nice on this, no gun slipping or anything of that sort. Included with it is that special "Sensi Touch" bull crap that apparently makes you so much faster and what not, it is completely dumb and I ended up cutting those fingers out anyways.
Durability - Reliability
Eventually the inner palm material may wear away from slides and just normal use, since it is very thin. Besides that everything stays together pretty well and dont have any problems with holes, stains or general damage to the glove.
Bang4Buck - Value
I think this still can be considered one of the best gloves on the market as it does as it should and works great. Other options would be other big companies who make gloves or the newer Dye Gloves, but these still work perfectly.

These gloves fit great. They look & feel like they're tailored to fit the natural contours of your hands (newer Dye gloves look like that, too). I usually have a tough time finding gloves that fit since ones that feel fine on my hand are too long in the fingers. Fingerless gloves are the way to go now but at the time i wanted my fingers covered.
But the gloves took care of that eventually, anyway. Holes formed in all the fingertips except the pinkies and i had to cut them. Like the C5 gloves wanted to be fingerless. Then the rubber trim started to peel - some of it sticks out like horns when i make a fist & now instead of saying "DYE" on the backs of the gloves, one says "E" and the other says nothing. And they're also starting to loosen up a bit.
Yep, time for new gloves. But these Dye gloves felt great while they lasted (about 2 yrs).
