A universal dream of greatness is that
We push ourselves to the limit
Yet still be brilliant when the chips are down.
Sometimes , The struggle kills the dream.
In my most recent iteration as a motorcyclist my first pair of gloves were Held Steve. (As a matter of interest whatever happened to Mr Steve Jenkner 125cc World Champion of a few years back after whom the gloves were named?)
I also have a pair of Held supermotard gloves whatever they are called, and a pair of their Gore-tex arctic type gloves which I cart round with me on trips in the fond hope that they won't be needed.
The screen wiper on the finger on all of these is a big plus.
I also have a pair of Spidi which are a bit warmer than the Steve gloves and which I use for commuting on frosty mornings. They are almost ideal but for the lack of a wiper.
There are also some cheaper options which seemed bargains at the time but these don't get used.
If I could only have one pair of gloves I'd probably go with the Steve (or the much more expensive Akira(?).

Interesting. One might imagine that a rider good enough to win a 125 title could be worthy of a ride in the 250 class.
National politics do play a part in all this, which is thought by Brit journos to be why Hoffman still gets a start. Even so the starting grid isn't exactly full of Germans.

I got a pair of Ixon Pro Tour gloves a while back.
The dog got ahold of my old winter gloves so a new pair were needed immediately.
So far they've kept my hands warm and dry in some pretty filthy weather, last weeks hailstorms being a pretty tough test.
For $150 I think the value for money factor is good.
My only complaint is that the cuff is huge - too big to go under my jacket sleeves.
this hasn't really been a problem as water tends to run off my jacket before it reaches my gloves but I think on a long trip with sustained rain it could be an issue.
I bought a pair of Belstaff winter gloves when I bought the Ducati - in the UK. Brilliant gloves - keep my hands warm enough for my fingers to still work - even when riding with several inches of snow on the roadsides... Far too hot in the summer tho - but that's what summer gloves are for...
A few years back, Wellington M/C's were supposedly selling them - dunno whether they still are...

After freezing my fingers with summer glubs over the past few years, SPIDI H2Out Nordic glubs are the bees-knees!
Pricey, but quality stuff.

So far the options are -
Spidi H2 OUT
Revit Celcius / H20
Any comments or suggestions?
REVIT REVIT REVIT...Just brought a pair of these. Unreal. cost about $200 from wellington m/c's. Dont bother about anything else.

My Spidi Sport Comp H2Out are great (apart from being slightly tight - they didn't 'give' as much as I expected).
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....![]()
My Clovers performed admirable in the egregious conditions that typified the middle half of this year's Grand Challenge. I'd score them 8 out of 10.
