EagleCock Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I've got the SP-X gloves to go with my MX-1 jacket...great combo for street but I'd get gauntlet for sure for a trackday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC51 John Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have tried a few and the Alpinstars seem to fit and feel the best. You will have to have gauntlet type glove for track day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfman Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 i wear gloves at work all the time when im handling fuels and stuff.I'm not trying to be a dick...but if you just find a pair that fits they will break in to fit your hand and before you know it you will be wondering how you ever rode without them. One crash and your hands could be cut up enough to put you out of work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fusion Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Teknic Lightning gloves. Ive worn them just a few times but they are comfortable and have adequate armor. Haven't crash tested them thoughI've read some good things about Teknics gloves on other sites. It's one of the brands I'm looking at before I settle for sure on a glove Friday.

They are like $30 and full gauntlet leather with carbon fiber knuckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMX12C Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 I got a pair of Teknic lightning's at Iron Pony for 30 bucks. Very good deal. I didn't know what I was missing until I started wearing them. They stop the cold wind and have armor in all the right places. Hope I never have to test them out for that.Also check out the armored jackets all the way in the back right section. Seriously good deals there.

progrmr Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I bought some MotoGP Turn 4 gloves at IP normally $75 on sale for $25 - they're good, gauntlet style without the plastic. Might be a bit much in hot weather though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyec001 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Also check out the armored jackets all the way in the back right section. Seriously good deals there.I just picked up the Teknic Kevlar jacket and I'm really enjoying it. Always check out the clearance stuff at IP just in case. They've got some great deals. Especially if you have a tiny head for helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got pissed they kept turning my hands red. They are good back up gloves tho if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 You've seen my gear. Get the GPX gloves, they're sooooo nice and are vented with armor everywhere. JoeRocket is the best brother!Joe Rocket has the worse seam structure of any glove. They will blow out once you touch the ground and the leather is very thin. Even w/o crashing, they don't even last me a season. The palms wore and the seams started to let go. Rocket is the lowest quality guys out there for the price. AStar is one of the best.Out of what was suggested, AStar is the best choice. Try stuff on, though. They run kinda small... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flounder Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Bummer My girlfriend just bought those...hopefully she doesn't get red hands..I got the blue ones and they only did it the first time for me. Yota's however just kept turning red every time he wore them, It was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saidin270 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Just bought another pair of gloves few days ago, the Cortechs Scarab RR's. I like them more than my Teknics and have better armor or atleast thats how I feel. The Cortechs seem to be of a better quality by a small margin than the Teknics.
