Well, I tested my Scarabs at about 40mph and they did their job. Rode the right glove and my jacket sleeve for about 35 feet till I ran out of pavement. Couple scuffs all around the right glove, with the most obvious damage being the palm carbon was ground completely off. The plastic/kevlar stuff underneath held up.
The Adrenaline cost $89.99 at Motorcycle-Superstore, but I got a K+N filter at the same time and used a $5 off coupon and got free shipping. Total came in at $97. Another great thing about the Cortech gloves- the gauntlets actually fit over my jacket cuffs. I tried on a pair of Shift SR-1s that didn't. Glove felt good, but the small gauntlet was a no-go.
Ordered my A* Stunt 2 jacket from Sportbike Track Gear last Monday. (15% off
) I was disappointed it didn't show up that week, but I called them yesterday and cleared things up, so I should have it today or tomorrow. They shipped it later that day.
Found a guy with a set of wheels. Soon as he gets back from vacation, I'm going to buy them. Also have a connection at work for race take offs. Just have to wait on another paycheck for my race plastics and I'm set!!
