gloves? who needs gloves?
 

5bucks!


i have like 4 dif pairs of gloves, and another smaller pair 4 2up fun.

i dont need anymore but im sure one of u fuckers do. and if ur in the marines, navy, etc, just look at the pics, the army tag comes off

I prefer an armored glove.

but still that is cheap as shit.

Sweet deal. I was going to place an order with them anyway. I'll throw a pair of those in the cart!

No thanks, I'll spend a hell of a lot more to protect my hands better.

Troofski'z.

Good enough for my 10 minute ride to work, I says.

for 5 bucks, theyre gd for something.

i prefer armored as well, but if u just have to spend money to feel safe thats retarded. the gloves i use most have armored knuckles, fingers, triple stitched, full gauntlet, etc. most importantly they fit. 5 bucks. those sold out quick tho

Good ain't cheap and cheap ain't good......

I'm gonna be due for new gloves next season. I've already started looking....

I just picked up some A* SP1's last month. Top notch and comfortable.

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.

I think the bridge is only on the GP series (plus, pro and tech) and maybe a couple short cuffs.

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.

could be-or could be that theres a a* office 5mins from me, last years inventory or employee discount end of year employee appreciation, etc=genuine a* for cheap. just sayin, price can sometimes depend on who ya know. ya know? of course if u buy em at a store for 20, theyre knock-offs

I see what your saying...

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.

i remember an acticle on some mag talking about gloves and welders gloves were the best bang for the buck

I'd go Speedstar, as the roo leather is a bit better and they have a bit more protection.

The gloves came today. They aren't bad for short commutes as far as protection goes. I wouldn't recommend them for any serious riding. They are comfortable and stick to my grips really well, but don't have any kind of padding or armor to speak of.

I got a pair of the perforated and solid gloves yesterday, and tried the perforated ones today. I used the measurement on the Newenough web site and ordered size large, but they are pretty tight. The leather is thin, but I can really feel the clutch and brake levers. Great for street riding. And I'll probably leave the US Army patch on.

I'm leaving the patch on mine. I was in the Navy; close enough.

I'm leaning toward some badass SPIDI's.

These are what I wear w/my 2-piece:

I picked them up at a race I went to last year. I think I paid $30 for them. For the money, they're pretty nice! Some of the racers were wearing them.
