I wish that I had known about fingerless gloves when I was in high school.

Makes it easier to wipe your ***, geez!

I wear perforated full finger gloves in hot weather. Personal preference, if you like fingerless gloves go for it. I like full finger gloves for the protection. You can either dress for the ride or you can dress for the slide.

Realise this is a men's thread. No-one cares what girls wear (except if they're fat with no make up then they must be lesbo's..right?) You guys wearing no gloves, don't you ever get whacked by stones or gravel? I have full finger string backed gloves for very hot days - good protection, cooler than fingerless gloves and nails don't get dirty!

My chaps are on order .... just need some tight fitting jeans to wear with them - nothing worse than chaps with a floppy bum!! (very un-Gay!)

GUYS! I've got the answer! I'm on my way to the leather shop to custom make a pair of gloves with removable fingers. Little zippers around each finger so the ends can be removed, allowing the rider to choose fingered or fingerless. As soon as I get a pair done, I will start taking orders for them her on the forum, the question is, should I include the HDF logo? While I'm there I'll also ask about the posibility of a zippered azz panel for those azzless chaps out there to satisfy the rest of the fashion police.
