Gloves

[plupien79]

Getting a new pair soon. Gonna get some real ones instead of just some leather palm mechanic gloves.Any recommendations?

check out the clearance section at newenough.com if you don't want to send a lot of money. I prefer the short cuff style for summer riding. I got a pair of powertrip gloves from new enough for $15 all leather and they fit good.

I'm not a fan of the long wrist protecting ones (though I probably should be)... my friend has a pair of icon's that look pretty sweet. They have big ABS plastic knuckle protectors and the palm has double layered leather and what-not. I don't remember the name of them, but you may find them on bikebandit.com or somethin. Good luck!

I have a set of SHIFT Avenger Hybrid gloves, the are the long cuff style but extremely comfortable, and seem to offer good protection, and for the price you can't beat them.

I got these gloves last summer and I love them. I have worn them all winter while riding to and from work. They are very comfortable and breathable. I highly recommend them.

Just saw they were sold out. If you can find them get them.

I bought a set of these and have never looked back.

I personally love the gauntlet gloves (the long ones) but they do take some getting used to. I don't feel as safe with my Icon Super Duties anymore after getting some Joe Rocket gauntlets.

I like the ones made by Oakley. I wore a pair of Oakley SI assault gloves the entire time I was in Iraq, so when I got a bike, I bought a new pair and used those. They're a bit pricey ( $50-70 ) but completely worth it. Cool, Comfortable, and they have a carbon fiber knuckle guard. Just in case!

I wear Icon Tarmacs. They're comfortable, grip great, feel just right for protection (not too heavy, not too light)- and they come in a few different colors.

I'll suggest the Dennis Kirk outlet or eBay store. I got some nice AGVs for $15 I think..

I bought a pair of black leather gloves at a hippie-biker run place in Albuquerque a year ago just to give them some business. I was wearing them a month later in the rain when I realized that the left index finger had a rubber strip on it that looked like a windshield wiper blade. And when I used it to clear my visor, it blew my mind.

I don't know the brand name, but the gloves have ruined me for buying any other type. I know this may not be helpful, but perhaps you can describe the glove to a merchant and come up with some. They're great.

Sounds like the Icon Hooligan 2. I have those now and love them. I have a pair of Icon Tarmacs as well, very good gloves.

No, it sounds like the Icon Merc's. I have those. I have both the long and short for summer and winter riding. Best gloves i have ever owned. I recommend those hands down. however they hurt the pocketbook at about 80 for the merc shorts and 100 for the merc longs. but if they save your hands once, its worth it, right??
