Short cuff gloves
I know a lot of you will only wear gauntlets, but for my 2 mile trips to work and running errands around town, I prefer to leave the gauntlets at home. Since my joe rockets are pretty beat up after 2 seasons, I need some new short cuffs. Any suggestions? Im open to most brands, except JR if theyre gonna pop seams and shit as quick as this pair did. Hoping to keep it below $100.

Bad idea. Get the gauntlets. They don't take any longer to put on.

I love my A* SMX-3's. They're a meshie/textile MX type glove. Really comfy. I believe the SMX-6' are similar but with some leather & carbon fiber.

Love them. I have like 4 pairs of gaunlet gloves. Short street trips are ideal for the SMX line. |

But yeah, A* has plenty of nice, comfy options in a shorty. |

I just found some a* octanes for $70 (retail $90) with free shipping, problem solved. Thanks everyone.

I have a pair of the SMX shorties, and I love them, but I can't find them now that I moved into the new place. I went out and bought a pair of "Five" shorties from CG (it's a house brand) and I was plesantly surprised by them. Did over a hundred miles in them today and they were really comfortable.

Let us know how you like the Octanes. I was looking at either those, the 3/4's or the GP-X's. |
I have 2 Icon sets of shorty gloves and love them!

I have these in red and i like them. Nice and short but still fit well in my "trunk".

I've had a pair of Power Trip Grand Nationals since I started riding. They've held up really well, and are very comfortable. I don't think my new GP Plus will get much use- but I'll keep them for trackdays. They just don't feel good enough to ride all day.
|
I have a pair of Alpinestars Octane S-Moto Gloves that are all leather, perferated and armored. They took a little to break in but are super comfortable now and good protection other than your wrists. Perfs are good in hot weather too.
|
Does anyone else wear shorties and zip them under the cuff of their jacket? I wear locally-made elkskin gloves that make it real easy for me to feel the levers.

Mine get tucked under a little bit since the sleeves on my jacket come down just past my wrist bone.

Let me know how you like 'em after you try them out. |

I'm just looking for a plane old pair of straight black leather preforated short cuff gloves with a hard knuckle. I had a pair of A* gloves like that a while back but they got all used up and the palm cracked and broke. I've been using the SMX6 mesh glove for a little while now and like them, but prefer leather.
I too have a set of gauntlets but i just can't get the feel for them and never felt comfy, my hands get tired from breaking and clutching and I just want to go back to the shortys to be comfy again. |

Pst don't tell anyone but I'd rather shorties myself. |
Hey guys, I heard tigger likes shawtys.

Same here. 5'2" and 110 lbs is about perfect.
|
Dude, I'm 6'4", if I was dating a chick that was 5'2" she'd be 69'ing my fucking belly button. My new girlfriend is 5'8" and she's about perfect height for me.
|
See, I'm only 5'9" so it works out great.

Dude you just have to arch your back some,trust me it works out great! |

You arent! I use Icon shorties for my street riding, and while I think they could hold up a bit better (tearing out the palm after a year) I like the comfort and feel of them. And zipping my gloves into my jacket is the last part of my ritual! |
I use Cortech HDX gloves. They have lasted two seasons (will have to replace before the end of this one prob). Comfy and seem to have good protection, although they've never been fully tested :lol: I always zip them in my sleeves.

So far after only a few short rides I really like the a* octanes. Seem to be pretty sturdy, have the hard knuckle protectors and theyre comfy.

God damn it. I don't know why I still come back to this forum.

I always end up with really tall women. Something about a girl who can cross her shins behind my back... I'm a happy guy. Nothing against our resident Keebler elves but I like 'em with some length of leg.
|
I have to agree with you on that one! (Although I have only met one woman who could pull the shins behind the head move off, she was a college volleyball player who was 6'2").

I'll have you know that Rae has the longest legs in the ENTIRE Lullaby League! Or the Lollipop guild for that matter! Hrrumph! |
Tig, creepy. Very creepy.
|
Rae's legs are the same length as mine. I like it.
|
Hmmph. Even short females can wrap their legs around a guy...
:p :p |
