I need decent gloves

[gunrunner]

Ive got a couple of pairs and have gone thru a few pairs but the problem i have is i want a decent pair that are long so they keep my hands dry and warm .
Ive been to a couple of sites online only to find they arent that long and they is a gap between gloves and my jacket sleeves .
Any recommendations ??

Yeah - get shorter arms

Try these, prices are pretty good too, takes about 10 days from Germany to get them in, or you can try and find them in NZ I guess

Not sure on your glove size, but someone should really get these.
http://www.boydmotorcycles.co.nz/Sto...72&t=1&c=71133 I just got the last blue pair. They go quite far up your arm, so if you've got smallish hands those would be a go. esp for that price.

i have some Rev'it gloves. Not sure which model (has Schoeller PCM on label). Lovely and toasty warm on a frosty wairarapa morn, Pretty waterproof but I always lather them in snowseal just to be sure. Bought from ANZA about three years ago. Highly recommended

I have the long arm issue also.
The gloves I have been wearing are thinsulate which are very long. They have seen three track crashes and still good at 7 years old.

I have a new jacket now ( Benice ) which I got 2 sizes larger and then paid to get the sides taken in. I can wear shorter gloves without issue with the new jacket.

You can have these http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ox-Zero-gloves for $40 if you want

Good luck finding the perfect glove. Or even a marginally acceptable one.

100 years of motorcycling and still no bugger has invented the glove that does it all or at least lives up to it's marketing promise to 'keep you dry' or 'warm'

I can't count how many brands I've tried over the years and failed. I now understand their water proof testing method. They wear them inside the lab and look out the window at the rain outside and report their hands remained completely dry throughtout 48 hours of constant rain.

Maha has a Alpinestar one, you could keep your other hand in your pocket

might be ok if your outfit matches, but not for me, I am a believer in black is best. personal choice,
but yellow and black EEEEKKK, bumble bee ROFL, wounder why they only $20?

i called in on a shop in th main street in foxton a few weeks back and they had all the gloves you need to choose a set from. i walked out with a pair and am real happy with them.
next time i'm through that way i'll be buying some boots.
They import the stuff from the uk so they're the only ones around with that brand

I have a pair of Revit ones, cost about $250, but they do indeed keep me dry in multiple hours of rain (10+ before at least a couple of times I think).

The most important thing is securing the hole in the glove where you stick your hand through. Stuff up that layering and waterproofing, and yeah, it doesn't matter how good the gloves are...

Haha my bike is black with blue trimmings. So the blue works well

When I got mine it had about 5 reduced stickers, so I think it's been fished out of the very bottom of the clearance bin and has been in there for a few years.
