RE: Gloves??
why would you 'palm' a wasp??? I've hit my fair share of bugs and dirt. without a windshield, everything seems to hit me. I can't say I've ever tried to catch anything, though..
RE: Gloves??
because i live in so fla, i never wear gloves. when i lived up north i used regular leather gloves with a gel insert for long rides and in the dead of winter i used a gauntlet style glove to keep the wind from shooting up the sleeve of my coat. funny thing is, when i went accross country to arizona, in july, it was 117 degrees. i saw a biker wearing gloves and my wife and i laughed. a few miles later i had blisters on my knuckles from the dry, hot air 9they got cooked, literally)...guess whos laughing now...lol

I live in SW Florida and always wear gloves. Bought them from Fox Creek. They are the short lambskin driving gloves, with a velcro retainer strap.

RE: Gloves??
I live in Virginia so we never have the extreme temps for long...rarely gets horribly hot or frigid cold, and if it does, it's gone quickly. I guess that makes it a lot easier to wear gloves when riding...it's not as hot here. Plus, if I hit the parkway, which is close to here, the temps can be 10-15 degrees cooler than where I live.
