Default Do you wear gloves while riding?
Just curious, how many of you wear gloves while riding?

Is it a must item? Have to wear them? Fingerless, leather...etc?
Explain yourself.....[sm=confused06.gif]

Always in the winter, most of the time in the summer. Summertime exceptions include quick runs to the store or post office. Always when riding to work or going past the town limits on a ride.

Only if it is below 60 or so, OR in a good downpour.
