Harb67 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I got home from work today to discover that one of my dogs had eaten one of my Teknic gloves So I need something new...Only problem is, there's so much selection out there, and I'm 2 hours away from the Pony so I can't try anything on Any suggestions? I need a well-made sturdy full gauntlet with a liner that won't turn inside out when I take them off when my hands are sweaty. I'm a big fan of carbon fiber knuckle protectors too, I just like the look of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangBruhY Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 These are the ones that I have and I love them. They are a little warm when it's hot, but they provide full protection. If you go to the track, you will be covered with these as well.Alpinestar SP1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I just got the icon merc gloves and like them a lot. They offer lots of protection, from what I think. Thankfully I haven't been able to test their durability yet. My biggest gripe is that they do not breathe well at all, and my hands sweat on long rides, or in higher temps. I also like the icon pursuit glove as well. Good air flow, but not very protective on the palm in my opinion. I also have a pair of Astars SP1 gloves, they are gauntlet cuff, and typically just wear those when I am riding twists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I decided to pick up some black Merc's from newenough. Got em for a lot cheaper than I could have gotten SP1/2's. Thanks for the input all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawi kid Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 i went to pony and got some on clearance. i think i paid seventeen bucks for a pair of teknic and i love them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 That's how I got my last pair, and they were great. However, they only had one pair of this color/model and they were XXS, luckily they fit fairly well. I figured they'd be out by now, as I got these a while ago.

BDBGoalie Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Track: SP-1, or shell out for some outseams.Street: Cheap vented ones with plates for summer (Joe Rocket or Icon are good canidates), and a set of insulated/leather ones for cooler weather.Really got to bite the bullet and go try some on, won't get a good fit without getting your hand in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermattak Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 :lol: i saw the krueger gloves, and then no one said anything, and you kept going, i almost peed myself when i saw this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prakthad Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I got Olympia gloves a couple of days back...the leather is really nice. I found it more comfortable than the SP2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
