1. Ergon makes great products
2. They look pretty freakin' sweet
3. The fit is spot on
I have worn the HX2 now for a month and have gotten some good mileage in them between singletrack and road rides. I have already told you how sweet they look, so lets move on to the other aspects of the glove. The fit is nice and tight and not feeling the seams make them very comfortable. The breathability of these gloves are great. I have worn them on days with the temperature in the 90's with humidity and they do not feel like they are holding in the sweat. Even in the hot temps these gloves are sticking to the grips like you would like without them slipping from being drenched in sweat. These gloves work great when paired with the GX1 grips like Ergon designed them for. At this point there are no complaints about these gloves and highly doubt there will be.
Update: 8/31/2011
These gloves have been put through a good amount of mileage on singletrack and feel just as good as the first time I wore them. The white was turning brown from all the dirt and sweat that they were collecting over the last 3 months. I did just as the Ergon website suggested for taking care of them and it brought them back to almost new. The great thing is they didn't stretch or shrink from washing them. I like these gloves so much I am thinking of buying a second pair just to rotate between. Highly recommend them and I never leave home without them. Maybe Ergon will make them in a winter version, lets hope.
