If you want a wrist wrap with a full fingerd glove then get the KH ones,
I've heard people say they are kind of hot and I havent heard of how
they are holding up after a year of riding.

The fusion seats are probably the best stock seat you can get, and you
can modify it to your tastes fairly easily. But like everything its all
about personal preference, although most find the KH seats way better
than other cheaper seats on the market.

The KH is basically the same saddle as the Quax. The new ones are a
little improved and more durable. But still the same design as the
qu-ax saddle,since it is the same manufacturer.

I have a pair of KH pulse gloves. It´s the worst gloves i´ve ever
tested. Any Mountainbiking or Moto-x glove would be much better. I
don´t feel I need the wrist support or the excessive padding on the
palms. I have had 3 pairs of moto-x gloves and I love them, the only
bad thing is that they wear out and get all filled with holes quite
fast.

the seat isn't as stiff as i'd like, but stiffener plate fixed that. i
think it's pretty comfortable. some people think they're too tall for
trials, i think it's okay, but thinner would probably be better.

This is pretty much true, except that the KH fusion seat has a
removable cover, which at least means you can fix / replace the base
easily when you break it. Which you will in the end, whatever seat you
get, until you fit a carbon base (which only some people break).

The new KH seats should be slightly more durable than the old ones,
because they've removed the bit inside the seat where the stiffener
plate used to bend right round, and made the plate stiff. I can't
really tell, cos I haven't opened mine up. They're noticeably thinner
which is nice, and doesn't seem to affect comfort at all.

I've added a review to the gloves page.

Its true, there have been so many threads complaining about unicycle
weight recently, and the easiest way to kill two birds with one stone
is to upgrade your seat base to CF. A LOT stronger, stiffer and
lighter. Depending on the saddle base you replace, you can lose as much
as 0.7kgs just from the seat base. If you get a Scott Wallis and a
Thomson post, that goes down even more.

Loose.
