Leoffensive 0 Posted February 7, 2012 ok so i mentioned to my girlfriend that i passed my test. she told me she wants to buy me gloves when she gets paid next week. i told her that they might be more than 10 bucks and she replied i dont care! haha i dont want her to spend a bunch of money. so what kinda gloves do you guys recommend? and is there a local place you recommend going to?

ADV Bum 205 Posted February 7, 2012 I have had two that I like, although I am limited by size. Alpinestars Atlas or SMx-2 Fox bombers http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BLK-Fox-Racing-Bomber-Gloves-carbon-Glove-Moto-gloves-Racing-gloves-M-L-XL-/270907779806?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&vxp=mtr&hash=item3f135caade There are several other pairs of fox slighty cheaper in color so search Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leoffensive 0 Posted February 7, 2012 those bombers are nice! i like the knuckle protection. ill look up those other two right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daijones 0 Posted February 7, 2012 I really like fox gloves, the basic dirt paws work and wear great, the extra protection on bombers may be good but your better with good handguards to prevent stuff hitting your hands IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask for kangaroo skin and titanium gloves- order them on-line somewhere...then return them, get some bombers and pocket the change Its a joke The DR350 we're looking at for you has (or had) handguards, with intergrated turn signals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted February 7, 2012 Well http://mobile.buy.com/ibuy/Product.aspx?sku=225864827&sellerid=34404638 That's a nice pair The bombers can be found for $30 Truth be told- if I am commuting, or street riding on my dual-sport, I wear a full face street helmet, street pants and street gloves. (Don't have any street boots so I wear steel-toed over the ankle combat boots) Dirt gear doesn't hold up sliding down the freeway at 65 (but better than I wouldve thought) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelRain 0 Posted February 7, 2012 I am cleaning out my garage this week. In one of the burried boxes of my old SBK race gear there are several pairs of full gauntlet kangaroo race gloves with carbon fiber knuckles. If you don't you mind used... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADV Bum 205 Posted February 7, 2012 If you GF really loves you she would get you some of these. http://www.motoport.com/index.php?option=com_redshop&view=product&pid=23&cid=14&Itemid=15 Everything else is CRAP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leoffensive 0 Posted February 7, 2012 hahah wowza on some of the prices on gloves haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simicrintz 177 Posted February 7, 2012 I've been buying the Dirt Paws for quite a while and have been happy with them. You can find the at Cycle Gear for about $20.00, IIRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted February 7, 2012 Cycle Gear also usually has a display of closeout priced gloves, so you might be able to find a genuine bargain there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blind_in_1_ear 0 Posted February 7, 2012 i got the motoport gloves for street... speed being concern but wear handyman work style gloves for dirt/trails etc...stupid cut/scratches being concern ...depends on what your need is, i suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danrider 5 Posted February 7, 2012 Get some comfortable gloves that fit you in the range of $20 to $30 bucks, the Cycle Gear super store on Kearny has a great selection. I recommend that you not get sucked in with all the carbon knuckle protectors, those gloves can get pricey. You are better off buying some bark-busters for your handle bars for protection in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
