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. |

Again I don't recommend it but it's your body. Anyway, you can't go wrong with A*, Held, or Spidi. Avoid AVG Sport and Teknic.

i have 3 pairs of a* short cuffs, 1 mesh/some other fabirc, 1 leather/mesh, 1 leather with plastic knuckle guards. excellent fit and comfort, & cheap, but they don't last that long. the mesh and leather suede parts around your finger tips start to wear away pretty quickly.

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.
