I know it's been covered before. But I'm not sure how recently.
I put a nasty *** 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?

 

alpinestar the ones that stop at the wrists

 

shift

 

I ride in baseball mitts.

 

that would explain all the flava

 

Hahaha, nah for real I have always use short dirt gloves... The alpinestars look nice, though.

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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...

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

 

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.

 

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...

 

Mechanix gloves..

 

Alpinestars S-MX are amazing and can take a beating

 

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...

 

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

 

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

 

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)

 

Thats what I wear too, and love em. And you can get em anywhere. They don't rip either.....:YEAH
