    Like helmets, they're all slightly different shapes. Buy the ones that fit.
    I've had Joe Rocket, Dainese, Rev-it. They've all been good.
    Alpinestars dont fit. Five fit ok-ish.

    My Teknics are only starting to show signs of better days after having them for 5 years. Not bad since they've been crashed in 3 or 4 times.

    Ive tried quite a few gloves , and i reckon the best ones ive had by far are the Alpinestars 365 gloves ! Bloody expensive though but a "jack of all trades" glove.

    Tried on the berik sbk's and the sbk2's today. Actually liked the 2s better and they half the price. Both had a flimsy lookin lil velcro adjuster thingy on the wrist tho, wasnt much into that. The seach continues

    Race style gloves (or gear) wont cut the mustard in terms of practicality (or safety) ... in the day to day winter riding use. And even in summer ... leave a lot to be desired in terms of protection when you really need it. And there is a good chance you will need it.
    Some even go as far as to say ... race style gear is for posers.
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.
