These are the one's I'm looking at.

Hubby just bought me the Alpinestars that JonKerr has linked. They are awesome..not to hot in the heat and really easy to manouver the clutch, brake, throttle etc. I also found it easy to feel the friction zone in the clutch. I highly recommend them as you can never be to safe.

Those are nice gloves and the price is reasonable. I was also looking at Alpinestars, one of the GP line. I am waiting until closer to Winter when I am hoping to get a bargain on a closeout or super sale.

That's kind of what I'm waiting for too. I tried on a pair of the GP Tech at Cycle Gear the other day. They were by far the most comfortable gloves I've ever put on but also the most expensive. $300!

I tried on a pair of the Icon TiMax gloves while I was there too. The most uncomfortable things I've ever had on my hand. And the hardest gloves I've ever tired to put on and get back off.

Here it's at least $175 for the class at the MVA....elsewhere it starts at like $250-$300 for the darn thing.

It's free here in IL!!

Have you tried on Nexo gloves at all? I wear their top of the line glove - normally retails for $150, got them on sale for $75. SUPER comfortable, and they're made out of kangaroo leather, which has higher abrasion resistance than regular horse or cow leather.

Later!
