Gloves - Stunt Discussion

KF_Chris · 08-07-2006, 08:48 AM

I know it's been covered before. But I'm not sure how recently.
I put a nasty ass hole in my palm last time I went down because I had on DB gloves. I'm all about something with a leather palm, at least 2 or 3 layers thick. I'm thinking about the Alpinestars S-MX Air Carbon gloves because they look good and I've found that alpinestars fit well.
Anyone tried the 06 Icon Merc gloves?
What's everyone rockin now?

KF_Chris · 08-07-2006, 10:19 AM

yeah, I did for a year. then I paid the price. I just ordered the alpinestars

sdfkillz · 08-07-2006, 11:39 AM

i had icons super duty gloves(i think thats the name) and dumped in the lot at 5 mph and the palm disintegrated and got burned on my palm. had those alplinestars smx gloves and dumped at 55mph they held up pretty well with only a scrape on my thumb where the glove is mesh.

KF_Chris · 08-07-2006, 11:40 AM

thanks for that info. I went down at maybe 15 or so with Fox DB gloves, tore right through the palm and my hand.

SmurfKilla · 08-07-2006, 11:48 AM

ICON leather shorties. Had them for 3 years now and they have done their job. Time for a new set. But yeah leather on the palms is the way to go...

Cheers

I rock Alpinestars S-MX Gloves... Fit real nice and they adapt great to you're hands cause they're like 90% leather...

Need a new pair as well, but can't find them here anywere in the neighberhood

Tiretrauma · 08-07-2006, 12:21 PM

I had stars for two years, blew out the fingers and the palms after many wrecks but they really held up well...the best i have seen. The bad side was they stretched which killed my hands after a while because they bunched up. I wear cheese icon merc now. They are really tight and breath well.

Abraham · 08-07-2006, 01:12 PM

I wear the Icon Burner Leather gloves. I just ate it a few days ago and the gloves did there job. The gloves suk for about two weeks while you break them in but once you do, very nice...

inolen · 08-07-2006, 01:54 PM

Mechanix gloves..

gorg · 08-07-2006, 02:51 PM

Alpinestars S-MX are amazing and can take a beating

Insane J · 08-07-2006, 02:52 PM

Owh I see now that there are different kinds of models of the Alpinestars S-MX gloves... I have the 5-Model... It's more leather then the 3-Model as far as I can see...

csimp3 · 08-07-2006, 02:59 PM

i have the alpinestars alloy gloves, there like leather dirtbike gloves, and there super comfortable, i plan on buying the same ones when these wear out

Hazen · 08-07-2006, 03:25 PM

I rock the $12.00 Thor Gloves. I think I have almost every color. But I do miss my Alpinestizzles.

wojin · 08-07-2006, 05:37 PM

i have the s-mx gloves, they r real nice. buy them in a size that fits kind of tight, and after a couple good long days of riding, they strech out and fit perfect( info thanks to my dealer)
