Default leather glove ?

hey
ive searched forums and nothing good returns come up.

im looking for a pair of good quality leather gloves. i like the mid weight ones. ive tried the cheap ones, work ones and hd ones....but they just dont do the job for me. im looking for a spring (45-65 degree ) glove, good for long distance.

im not looking for gauntlets either....and i dont mind paying extra $ but dont want to get ripped off.

i am currently looking at fox creek gloves and the rsd diesel gloves (not sure if rsd are worth the $...but i kind of like the look)
anyone have experience with these? i know many have fox creek...

or are there any other glove manufactures you could reccomend me checking out.

thanks for the help/suggestions

I have Joe Rocket mesh, $69.00, and leather gloves that are perfect for 60f and up. Pair of Alpine Stars all leather,$99.00, that are good for 50f up to 65f. I pair of gortext leather gloves for 30f to 50f. Going to replace the JR mesh next month after just under 40k miles they are just about shot. I like the length that is just past the wrist but not the gauntlet style use for racing. The place I buy them from doesn't sponsor here but it rimes with zilla.

I've purchased a weight lifting fingerless glove, this glove has GEL in the palms,
There was a problem the backside was mess, but it was red, white, and blue, so I took black die, and dyed it, looks great, they've lasted for many years and only cost $20.
You add their riding gloves and they add more $ to the cost, funny how that works!
The GEL takes out the vibration too, little added note!

I wear a pair of HD fingerless gloves, they're expensive for what they are, but are comfortable.. velcro back to ease taking them on and off, padded grip..saved my hands when i wrecked my Sportster..

M-S is also having a close-out sale on several gloves, if any of them interest you

My favorites are the Held gloves. I think the palms are made of a thin, tough, kangaroo hide.

Aerostich gloves are good too. http://www.aerostich.com/off-and-riding/gloves

They have deerskin and elkskin gloves. I like the little rubber wiper on the left index finger on my gloves ...
