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 have a pair of HD gloves, good down to 45 degrees or so...not sure what the name of them are but they have plenty of them at the dealership. Or look at Foxcreek leather

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 ...
