Gloves
 

I'm looking at getting new gloves this season. Wanting to spend probably 100-150 dollars.

Top few contenders right now.

Held Thrux

A* SP 1

Fieldsheer Bullett II

I have heard the sp1's dont seem to hold up for very long.

A* are nice, but typically run ~2 sizes small. The Fieldsheer look like they have PU knuckle armor, which I like over CF, but the placement sounds strange. Have you tried them on to see if it works for you? Held are supposed to be fantastic gloves, but I've never had the chance to try them on.

I've heard the same thing...

I've gone SPIDI - and now won't ever turn to something else again. They are a bit more expensive, but last forever. And, fit like a glove should...

I need new gloves too. I'm considering Spidi and Held, maybe some A*.

I had some SP-1's. They held up very well but they do run small. Here is a shot of me wearing them with you in the pic T.

I have Dainese gloves (these.. I even bought them from CycleGear :lol: ). I tried a pair of Alpinestars but ended up returning them because in order for them to fit the length of my fingers, the width was too much, and they didn't have the velcro to cinch them down around the wrist (only the velcro on the gauntlet), so they would slide off very easily. The Dainese ones fit me perfectly, and break in very well. The pair I had before was the previous model of the same glove, and they lasted me for about 5 years of heavy wear.

I'm leaning towards Spidi Race-vent gloves.

Cross the Fieldsheer off the list. Not even a comparison.

My A* gloves worked very well. They did eventually wear out but I haven't found gloves yet that I can't trash within 2 seasons. The A*s didn't disintergrate any earlier than any other brand I've tried.

I haven't owned a pair of Held gloves but their reputation speaks for itself.

Spidi were mentioned and are worth a look.

nice abercrombie shirt, ripped jeans, and sandals.

on a side note, to me the held gloves doesnt look like it fits as snug as the others.

Don't worry he wasn't riding, if you were commenting on his lack of gear.

no i wasn't worrying. its obvious he wasnt riding. niether was i commenting on his lack of gear.

:falco1:

Oh well in that case looking like a complete douche is just normal for him. :lol:

thats kinda what i was gettin at. i thought it was a dead given...
he should get :ps: for fashion...

He's a college frat boy...thats their mandatory uniform.

true story. Right now I'm wearing sandals, jordan shorts, hollister long sleeve shirt, and hurley hat. Impressed?

Every college kid ever.

Hey I'm a fraternity boy, only wore sandles on the beach/pool/hot tub, and could never afford AF or Hollister. :idk:

clearance rack baby. I mostly shop at buckle now for shirts. American eagle for jeans. AF is too expensive and I don't fit hollister.

says the guy that was wearing a hollister shirt... :lol:

Remember... I was born and raised a farm boy, and a memeber of an AG fraternity... so yea, whatever random *free* tshirt and lee jeans.
And I had a lot of jackets from John Deere and assorted seed companies.

I don't fit hollister jeans. I don't think they makes waist sizes over 30.

so were you just check'n TRock out? :falco1:



I've got A* GP Pro's... LOVE them... fit my hands perfect... and gloves are usually hard for me to find a good fit as I've got long skinny fingers... so usually I have to get gloves in XXL just to fit my fingers but then the palms are way huge on me.

haven't crash tested them... but I have no worries.

Whats it like being the definition of douche? Hollister its a huge brand of clothing, now go to Hollister california and you will never wear that crap again.

Well obviously,I'm gonna put in a word for Icon TiMax gloves and they have brought back the original style. For street use they are great gloves.

Okay,I've had the;

Kushitani two-piece gloves-hated them for street as they SUCKED to take off and put on,great for the track,sucks if you're out cruising and stopping with the boys. "Hold up I gotta get my FUCKING gloves on!!!"

Dainese-got a pair when I bought my two Dainese jackets,they looked VERY high quality but didn't fit,sent them back and went to A*. In fact,I had also bought the D boots as well and they didn't fit either,hence my first pair of A* SMX (no +) boots.

Alpinestars GP Techs-never fit right and MURDER to remove and put on. Quality was bad but A* did send me a new pair which I immediately sold for $50...true story. GP Plus-broke four fingers on my left hand wearing them. I was the A* poster boy until then...

Technics,several models-I lived about 5 miles from the Technics HQ and even knew the owner semi-personally. Sorry,but the gloves just didn't last.

Held-they look like good quality and I haven't tried any for years but when I did they felt like "welder's gloves",really thick and cumbersome for street duty IMHO.

haha yeah that was pretty much it.

Thanks for getting it back on topic with some good advice.

I've had Spidi's and Astars. Both were very comfortable and fit well but the palms wore out in a hurry. I've had 2 pairs of Teknic Speedstars and they fit like the above mentioned, but were way more durable. Just one man's opinion. I think they discontinued them so you can find them now for about 100 bucks closeout...

You know to be honest,you might be giving better advice on Technic or even A* as it's been since '97 for Technic and '01 for A* gloves...

:lol: what A BITCH :whistle:
