Would really like to go the electric route, but don't know that I can swing the extra bucks just this minute. So I'm faced with three choices as far as I can tell.
1. http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/s...eskimo+gloves#
Looks like really nice setup with kevlar and gel in the palms. Can't find any decent reviews on this pair. 89 dollars.
2. http://www.newenough.com/gloves/insu...le_gloves.html
Bit rich for a pair of non-electric gloves, and judging from the reviews I've found you either love 'em or hate 'em. Other than a couple of really insignificant details in the pics, I can't really see a difference between these and the fieldsheer one's. 98 dollars.
3. http://www.powersports4less.com/deta...H%208765000504 has them local where I can try them on or http://www.tonker.com/store/Tour_Mas...er_Gloves.html has them for a better price. Either way, I would have to wait for some more hobby fund money and drop the 120-130 on the electric tour masters. Which would also set me up for getting some more electric stuff from them down the road without having to replace the gloves if I go this route.
Anyone have an opinion or other thoughts based on the options there? Low 40 degree rides in the morning are getting to be downright unpleasant in the mesh gloves I have right now. Granted Kansas City doesn't get as cold as Canada, but we have wind with humidity even in the winter. It's not hard at all to have 30 degree temps with wind chills in the teens. Sooner would be better than later, but I don't want to get something that is merely decent when the best is only another 20% more. That said, I'm not sure what "best" is. Either way, it's going to be a long time before I consider dropping $100 bucks on gloves again.
Thanks,
ND
