I learned( the hard way) to wear < Long sleeves, OR better yet a MESH JACKET In the HEAT( keeps ya body temp cooler) and helps prevent overheating( wind wisks sweat away, and often your not aware of how your bodys doin) NOT to mention, Severe SUNBURN. Just a word from an old opinionated dude, LOL

I did the exact same thing yesterday. Fortunately, I had a bit of a tan, but it's still noticeable. I don't wear gloves to look cool, I wear them cause they don't sweat, and my hands do, which makes for a better grip.

I don't know about you, but I have to wear gloves when I ride, something about those solid chrome grips that my bare hands don't like. Looking cool is the least of my worries. I wear my Harley jeans, sleeveless Harley shirt, Harley boots, Harley dew rag, Harley vest, Harley shades, and my Harley fingerless gloves, how much more cooler could I be?

People that worry about what others wear are probably the ones that try their darnedest to look cool. Let other people enjoy their rides the way they enjoy them.

Well now, that does look like it's gonna hurt, if it's not already. But look on the bright side, at least you don't have the fingerless gloves look!

I wear thin gloves all the time, even when I ride in just a t shirt. Where's the problem? Are you the f*&%ing fashion police?

Nice white hands! I have permanent tan crescent's on the back of my hands from wearing fingerless gloves and long sleeve shirts. I am required to wear latex gloves at work and people are frequently noticing the 'tan moons' through the gloves.
