i got these off ebay about 3 years and 40,000+ miles ago, and they have been great, so i wanted a new pair, it seems like they are old stock, so it took a bit of tracking down (thanks to the org) but i finaly found some more.


i have used these all year round, rain snow whatever, with heated grips, as i dont like thick gloves, as i like to be able to "feel" the controls. and they have been ok, i guess they are more of a summer glove, as there is cloth segments along the fingers, which act like vents. which after the 3 years are a bit worn,

but all the stitching is perfect.


i tried on loads of pairs in shops, but none felt as good as my old ones, either the fingers were too long, or they were to tightaround the palm, etc, so thats why i have got the same again, and after just 1 ride they feel great, so great, im going to get another pair

theres not many left, i ordered online, and they had run out of the colour i wanted, so sent the next model up, so i sent them back, and got the profex in blue

about £35

Looks like a lot of glove for £35!! Good write up mate, thanks.

One question, does the velcro closer on the wrist go all the way round of is it elasticated stiching underneath and the velcro tab bit on top only?

I have very skinny wrists and most gloves that dont close all the way round can easily be pulled of my hand :(

it doubles back on its self, i have to undo it to get them on, then depending on how small your wrists are, you will just have some of the top bit not in contact with the bit it sticks to

but the wrists are elasticated as well, i find them i little bit tight to get on and off, but once they are on, they feel good.

i hope this helps, im not sure i fully understood what you were asking
