I'm in the market for a new set of gloves. As of now I ride with so cheap leather gloves or a pair of mechanics gloves. I'm looking a something a little or a lot safer that what I have. After looking at photos of wrecks it seems a palm slide is very good to have. Knuckle protection is a plus also. Why are you using for gloves?



Some after math of motorcycle wrecks and gloves.

 

ouch ... imagine what it would have been like without the gloves....

me i wear some black leather gauntlet gloves of a decent thickness with fringe... heal quickly your guitar looks lonely.

I like the Gel gloves, but the best gloves for crashing are the armored racing/sport bike gloves.

 

Weise Daytona. Not cheap but racing protection in a short glove. I love mine.

 

Im sorry if I miss lead but thats not me. Just so pic I got off google.

 

Maybe cause I started off on sportbikes and still ride 1 along with my Glide but I prefer Alpinestars. I don't ride with a full on race gauntlet when on my Glide but I still use a shorty style glove that has armor/ Kevlar

I see a lot of guys riding with those Mechanics gloves you can buy @ Autozone or a thin pair of leather gloves and wonder why they wear gloves @ all??

 

Rich... Didn't you start out the boot thread the same way, with a graphic and misleading photo?

 

Sport bike background for me too. I wear low DAINESE leather gloves with knuckle protection.

 

I wear WILEY X Hybrid combat gloves. Leather palms, nomex fire proof material, kevlar thread, removeable hard knuckles.

 

It's not misleading at all. If you go down without proper gear this is what happens. Right above the pic I post after maths of wrecks and gloves. Its 3 different people with different stores.
