BDBGoalie Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) $200 (September 2011)I got these to replace a set of damaged SP-1s that I had been using for a few seasons.The feel I get from theses gloves is awesome. It really feels like you're wearing a second skin. I really like the level of control they allow me.The interior is really soft and comfortable. The top of the interior is lined with Kevlar. They fit snug, and stretch a little bit, but not much. I'd advise trying a pair on before you buy, or go through a company with a good exchange program.The armor seems well built with padding, extra leather, and plates in the high risk crash areas. The 3rd and 4th finger bridge is a nice extra feature for me, but I also only use 1-2 fingers on my levers.They flow decent air, but being a protection focused glove, your hands will sweat a bit if its really hot out. They're fine in 70°s - low 80°s for me. They stay decently warm in the mid 50°s as well.The only downside is the cost. $200 is a hefty price to pay for a pair of gloves. However, I find the comfort and feel they give me makes up for that. I'll never ride without gloves because these are so comfortable.Overall I love them. Well worth the money for me. I will update this review after my track day on the 12th. I will try and snap some pictures when I'm home next as well.

2Wheeler Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I have had the GP techs. AWSOME GLOVES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I can 2nd the GP Techs. Awesome gloves for sure. I've worn out 2 pairs of them in my many years of riding. I had to order a new pair of gloves today, but I'm going to try another brand this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDBGoalie Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I tried on the Plus and the Pro. Pony didn't have a set of Techs to try. I had read they were more rigid but had that extra level of protection. I like my dexterity, so I was pushing for the Pro anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm going to roll the dice on a pair of Handroids and see how they are. Since I ride mostly track anymore I've always needed the extra level of protection and that always comes with a higher price tag unfortunately.
