i want everyones opinion on riding gloves.... do you buy them for protection or do you buy what you can afford.... i wanted to make some like the alpine stars version.... with the carbon knuckles.... but they are pricey.... i personally own a pair... i actually see most guys stunting in 35 dollar and under dirt bike gloves...like fox,shift ,etc.... i want to know where to be on the price .... and style cause i only plan to make like 2000 pair of gloves with the stasis logo on them ....

 

ive been rockin those smx gloves for like 3 years now and love them for street riding but honestly in the lots i stopped wearing gloves cuz they actually cause me to lose grip when im doing combo circles. wearing gloves i can barely get 3 ralph louie circles around before i lose my grip, no gloves i can go endlessly. i was gonna try some of the thinner motox glvoes and see if they were better. i dont think i answered your question but well there it is lol.

 

lol.... i was gonna say you confused me... i have been rocking the smx gloves for about 3 years also ... i have no issues...but some people say they are to much and blah blah blah.... so i am trying to see what people like and make a good judgement call

 

Just a thin pair of Shifts in the lot, and im looken for a new pair with some protection but still lots of feel... ill keep my eye open for the new stasis hotness

 

I want something that won't wear out in the palms fast. I have some all leather alpinestars that were about 70 and I'm not impressed.

 

thanks for the input.... from what i have learned so far most people are thinking like you ....

 

I like to rock Mechanix gloves, thin, only reason i rock gloves is cause of sweating, otherwise id rock no gloves.

Although you know i'll be getting a pair from you either way, lol

 

I wear the fox dirtpaws, those alpinestars are good for streetriding but suck for stunting. I bet if you made some cool looking gloves like that and sold them for around 20 bucks about everyone on SL would buy a pair.


I had a similar problem, then I started buying gloves that are uncomfortably small, then once they break-in there perfect.

 

I like a-star textile gloves

 

yea me too palms are first to go on all my gloves. a pair only last about two montsh and then all the stitching is broken and ****

 

I spent like $40 on mine thats about it im a cheap *** tho

 

i wear the SMX an love them...
everything else ive tried im not to stoked on...
i like them to be thin an not bunch up in certain areas.. basically something that hugs my hands like a rubber glove...


..... make rubber gloves hahah

 

I just picked up the Icon Tarmacs for the new season. So far I can't complain. Feel just like a mx glove. All my other gloves I have had have ripped in the palm and my pointer finger on the clutch hand. Hopefully these will hold up in those areas. Anyone have them for a while how are they doing? If you do decide to make some gloves make sure they hold up well in those areas.

 

i'm rockin some fox mx gloves. they're tight as hell, got the carbon on the knuckles. and i only picked em up for 40 bucks. it was a great buy. tons of feel and good protection. no bleeding, and the palms are still perfectly in tact.

 

I think E-RACK prefers to rocks A Single glove on his right hand, Only because for some reason he wants to be the Michael Jackson of stunt riding... So I'm sure if you make A Pimped out White Right hand Glove with pink Lettering that says "I'm Gay" on it, E-RACK will be sure to buy it!

 

if they dont wear out ... then there is no need to buy a new pair...everything has a life expectancy...tires,gloves,shoes, and humans.... ... i probably could make a pair that has no wear but i would charge like 150 bucks for them...

 

i like the smx to ... but it seems like only about 2 out of every 10 stunters use them and the others are using the fox dirt paws or the shift ones... i like the hi tech look of the alpinestars.... but i am looking make sure i get a damn good return on my investment.... seems like i am leaning towards the fox style gloves...thanks for the input.... i am gonna make some latex stunter gloves just for you....with the lube on the inside of the gloves ...i am gonna call the lube stuntacide instead of spermicide lol

 

i have thought of the pointer finger thing... i am gonna have them triple stitched on both pointer fingers.... cause that is a flaw in all gloves.... but just i bit of knowledge most companies know the downfall of there products... but they dont fix them cause they want **** to wear out kinda fast so you need a new pair or get the newer designs they have... if it last forever... no repeat customers.....but if it wears fast no repeat customers either...so they kinda walk the fence... to make both sides happy...... i am gonna try to make them as best as possible without making the production cost high so i can keep them between 30-40 bucks in cost....

the carbon knuckles on gloves look bad ***.... but truthfully you can get the same protection form certain plastic... and fiberglass plastic mixture... i want carbon but if you are not making like 50,000 pairs of gloves... it will make them costly.... to produce.... so i am looking into other options...but those fox gloves you are talking of are very nice imo
you guys are ruff on that erack guy....lol

 

these are the ones i have, i think they work perfect.

 

Mechanix gloves have always worked for me, and saved my *** looping one at the industrial park when i was learning bp and rear brakes control a while back, and i have never veered away from them. They have great feel, and arent hot, and for 20 bucks, how can ya go wrong?
