Tried on some Gloves

Riceaholic · 10-27-2009, 04:55 AM

All Astar gloves are real comfy while they last but wear thin in certain places real quick. I have a pair of GP Techs that look brand new except for the holes right underneath my pinky on both palms. The SP 1's I had wore holes in almost exactly the same place. I just sewed a patch on them and they're fine but they did seem to wear quickly in some strange places.

How fast they wear out on ya? I had a pair of moto gp gloves that lasted me a few years untill the thumbs wore out and now i have a pair of the A*'s they broke in in less than one day and now fell super comfortable, just a PITA to put on and off.

I love the A* Sp-1. They hold up great in a get off. I sold mine after my wreck and they didn't have a mark on them.

Less than a year and the hole was starting in the GP Tech's. In fact the SE rally was the first time I ever put them on...

Thats not what I want to hear. I was looking at getting a pair of GP techs.
