New Gloves.
ok i read a post about gloves on here. took alot of consideration to the advice given. i also read up on the forum (at anothe site i read on )where the person who has sold personally over 100k worth of riding apperal. between what our member suggested and his suggestions i checked out the ones that matched up and i ended up with a set of..
http://www.newenough.com/browse/view...ct_images/1704
Cortech Adrenaline gauntlets. I came very close to getting the joe rocket equivalent to the cortech adrenalines but in the end the cor tech felt so much better inside. Though i do think the joe rockets http://www.newenough.com/browse/view_product_images/850 <----(honda version) http://www.newenough.com/gloves/stre...cle_gloves.htm <----(non Honda version)a bit better outside wrist padding if you happen to go down, but it was like just some sponge with a very thing layer of leather over it.. good for maybe one crash or a years worth of weathering. also the cortech had better outside pinky protection.
Cortech had what i consider to be realy good clutch and throttle feel through the glove but still offered pretty decent slide protection. again good for maybe one or two not so fast crashes.

Cortech are nice gloves for sure.
The best gauntlet gloves Ive ever worn, from Olympia.

Lasted 5 years so far, and I ride all the time, year round.
Paid $130 5 years ago, on sale now at $76.
If you want something that lasts and lasts and is top notch, Olympia is as good as it gets as far as stitching and design holding up.
My Olympias dont have a single worn stitch yet (kevlar thread) and the side finger tips on three fingers have worn thru a little bit.
Thats saying something about the stitching.

Do you wear these gloves year round or do you have another set for seasons?
what kind of jacket do you wear in summer?

Sorry to hear that Hot. Every thing all good with you and the bike? and which gloves were you wearing at the time? the ones linked by CB or the ones i linked? I cant find the post of who suggested the gloves but haha i think it might have been you.
Could you be more detailed about the crash..also can you let me know what other gear you had on and how it faired in the crash too? thanks

Yeah, everything's good. I lowsided at Road Atlanta on the RC51. Went from knee down to *** down in a split second, gloves touched the pavement initially and held up fine. I was wearing the Adrenalines, and I think I suggested them.

You will LOVE those glove dude. Im not exagerrating, especially if youve had others to compare to.. They arent as colorful as the cortechs tho , lol.
Year round gloves, wear cotton glove liners in real cold weather as those vent real good.

see these gloves transcend riding into the real world. they have applications far beyond what i had ever hoped for.
whoever says riding doesnt bring family and friends closer has never owned a pair or Cortech Adrenalines. lol and a double head nod toward cortechs marketing dept when name ing these gloves..they nailed it on the head..litterally<-----most likely spelled wrong.

For those looking at the Cortech gloves, try them on for size if you can first. I bought a pair of their Vice gloves (the same as the Adrenalines, except not the gauntlet). I had to get them in 3xl. Now I have a little larger than average size hands, but I know alot of people with bigger hands. I don't wear a 3xl glove in any other glove. I guess what I am trying to say is that they run a little small and if you have very large hands, you might want to try them on first. By the way, I love mine!

WOW! I got the Olympias in the mail, I'm blown away at how well designed they are, how soft and comfortable they are, and how LITTLE the price was!! These have the be the best gloves I've seen for the money, hands down...
