Gloves

So what kind of gloves do you guys stunt in... I usually just use those mechanics gloves because I get better feed back from them than those really thick titanium and carbon fiber racing gloves that run you like $235 bucks. Of course every time I crash they disintegrate and I'm waiting for my palms to grow back.

I got some pretty similar to those, only they're Joe Rocket. Once you break em in, they feel just like the mechanics gloves. But they got more protection.

Re: Gloves

i agree it's easier with the thin gloves because you have a better feel of your controls.... I wear a set of Alpinestars (Tech Road Gore-tex)... they have held up through multiple crashes... once i got used to wearing them (and broke them in), i feel naked riding without them. and i dont think it really makes a difference being able to feel the clutch for the 2 seconds you are holding it in before you dump it.

oh, i don't wear gloves on the fiddy at all.. i've crashed several times and not had any problems... all my crashes are slow, that's why i got the 50... if i'm going faster (3rd gear) then i would recommend gloves unless you know what you are doing.

*edit* ok i'm a liar... i do put on a big glove on my left hand when i practice endos... i have a lot of trouble hitting the brake properly with the big glove on ... but i think it's better to at least have one on while i practice endo's at the top of 3rd gear.

Re: Gloves

Alpinestars makes a pretty good pair, but to be honest, I dont think I know a single person who has had a pair last them more than a year of riding....

Re: Gloves

$25 icon gloves and they held up well in a crash. I can easily feel the controls with them.

Re: Gloves

I love my Joe Rocket GPX gloves, They're the full size ones since I have a 1 piece suit I use for knee dragging. I feel more than naked without them on, I have only ridden without gloves once since I got them just around the block and it feels very weird.

Like they said, once you break them in they're perfect.

Re: Gloves

I started out with the IICON Tarmac gloves because they were thin, but they
stretched out, and were just too loose. Then I got the IICON Burner's, but I couldn't feel anything. So then I got a pair of the IICON Super-Duty, and
they are perfect. They are leather, but are thin enough that I can feel
everything. And they have some extra padding on the topside of the glove.

ICON SUPER DUTY, they rock. If you get the right size for you and break them in right you can feel a **** hair.

I just went through a pair of Mechanix like I had plastic bags wrapped around my hands. My palm was phucked! That's why I was figuring I should be using something a little more durable... Wifey said she wasn't to thrilled with me having ruff *** hands and sh-t. So I gotta protect my **** so I'm not cutting her *** all up when I'm spankin it.
