Teknic Lightning gloves?

[ducatilover]

Anyone used these? Looking for a decent cold/wet weather glove.

i'm currently riding with 1tonne gloves, they're horrid. they're the "sporty/race" style that they do and they are crap in the warm, cold, wet....well, at everything and the seam around the thumb is hugely uncomfortable and the thumb is too short/fingers too long blah blah, in short I get wet, cold and my hands go dead...
I've got some harden up drink, but, don't want to waste it.

So, as the first sentence says, anyone used them?

I've used them and loved them, but given that they change every year, take that with a grain of salt. FWIW I will be going Knox Handroids next time.

the quality on teknik gloves leaves something to be desired.
Teknik do good gear, so long as it aint gloves and boots.

Crap quality compared to what? I'm open to all views as I don't want a crap glove.

Never said crap, but versus other brands in the same price bracket, there are much much better alternatives.

Dunno about the Lightning gloves but I have a pair of Technic Thunder which I find do an excellent job in winter.
And no, they haven't fallen to bits yet and seem as good as any others I have had.

Not sure what it is, but it's not leather. Comfy though, even crashed well.

I found plenty of reviews and nothing scary was said about them, so I have gone ahead and grabbed some at a good price (Old stock clearance :yes:) and I will write a review when I have done a few Km in them.

Which Knox glove would you say is best for everyday road riding?

I wear the Handriod, but I would Im a yamaha rider :gob:

If wet and Im riding a distance I go for the Zero for sure.

there is the Biomech as well which a toned down version of the Handriod in that it doesnt have the finger exo skeleton aspects.

The Recon would be a good choice also for touring and general road riding

Handiod = Race
Biomech = day to day sport/ trackday
Recon = Touring general all rounder
Zero cold and rain

hope I havent confused you tho

I just read this about glove fitment on a website.

A properly fitted glove will “fit you like a glove”.
:killingme

I laughed so hard, I nearly bought a round of drinks...........nearly:shutup:

I bought a pair of cheap winter gloves, had a similar experience to you and ended up hating them, so i got a Stanley knife, cut away the liner from the opening of the glove and completely removed the liner. Now have some awesome looking summer gloves!
