The only thing I don't like about A*'s is the 3rd and 4th finger bridge. I use my ring and middle finger to brake.

There is no bridge on these.

Might be worth looking into then. I've also been spying the Held Phantoms as well as some RS Taichi.

Have it on my GP's, takes a bit to get used to, but after a few rides, I don't even notice.
Then again, I use either my middle or first and middle finger to brake and clutch, so ring and pinky stay on the bar all the time anyway.

half truth, whether its gloves, gear, bikes, engine work, etc.

if i found those a* gloves u just bought for 20 bucks, does that automatically make them not good? see where i'm going? the gloves i got werent 5dollar gloves, i just lucked up and got em for 5bucks. u know it cost a* nowhere near what u paid to make those gloves. it may be good if its expensive, but being expensive doesnt always mean its good.

that being said-those a*'s are nice lookin:dthumb:

If you found those gloves for $20, they'd be cheap knock offs made in china and they would be crap.

Ha! who needs 'em!
 
That goofy-looking gear Power Trip was trying to sell is still better than what most soldiers wear to post and back each day. It's a damn shame. I see mechanic's and gardening gloves more often than not.

I have Teknic Lightning gloves right now but I'm thinking about the Teknic Violators or the Speedstars. Anyone have any experience with these two gloves? Speedstars are kangaroo palm, whereas the violators are cowhide. I'm leaning towards the roo gloves as they're only $25 more.
