Too many winter gloves have thick padding in the palm. I have seen the same complaint in overseas magazines. Even without heated grips you don't need as much padding in the front as you do on the back.

Yup I am another that could do with less bulk under, also a cuff to go over the leather jacket to keep the wind out. My current 1 Tonne gloves are pretty much worn out (had lots of use) so I must get some more.

I have a sleeve zip that has failed on my 1 Tonne jacket that I must get around to sorting..... just might wait until summer when I can use my textile jacket while its getting fixed, I feel nude riding with textile :P

Funny you should say that. After wearing ill fitting and bulky textile stuff it is an odd mixture of comforting (where it is snug) and nude (where it is not) to be back in leather pants. I can't wait till I can afford a leather jacket to go with.

Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

Get some Qmoto gloves, they were the first to have Scaphiod protection available in NZ

Perhaps. Was after something a touch more suited to winter though, the Qmoto have 'Ventilation throughout for cool summer racing and road riding'.

I already have some fairly well vented Scorpion SGS shorties from Revzilla which I love (SG3 are the gauntlet version). NZ Distributor won't do Scorpion stuff except helmets, competes with the Revit stuff they also do.

It's a bit odd there's no pic of the scaphoid protection on the Qmoto site, given the literature speaks volumes about it. Also I can't make out whether the knuckle protection is on a semi-floating panel like the SGS? They look like cool gloves though. Pretty reasonable price, that's comparable with what the SG3 would cost landed, perhaps a touch less.

Schaphoid protection is awesome. Makes it a little easier to have working hands after binning it

I tried to order gloves from them, they dont have them in stock and only import to order. Pointless.

I think that would be a great idea.

Ok cool, I will call them KB leathers, think of all the business I will get from here

Im going to make them really crappy this time round, that seems to get the best support (which I always thought was a bit weird, must be a cheap arse Kiwi thing tho)

Start with arseless chaps, make it easier for you to fuck your customers that way...

Fuck. I finally find a pair of really good looking and fitting gloves.

So there is a problem with the stitching ??

My last pair of winter gloves lasted 6 winters.

Not sure if that'll work, I don't think any of us actually have bikes, or ride?

Well, it worked for you last time, didn't it?
