Speak to Tony Stark, last I heard he had a pair...
Neio was talking about getting a pair.
So how much are they? my gloves have sprouted holes :(

I tried a pair and didn't like them.
The bits on the back of the fingers made things too stiff to grip the bars properly.
It felt like your hand was trying to straighten itself all the time so I bought the Knox biomech instead, which is the same glove but without the stupid finger bits.

£125 but very nice to wear :)

i tried some on at the NEC and i really liked them, but i cannot possibly justify that much money for them, or even the cheaper ones they do!
I'm seriously contemplating getting a pair of these. Really comfortable. Can't get any of the Alpinestars to fit me, the fingers aren't long enough even the fingers on the xxxl are too short. Cheap compared to the Dainese full metal racer that my mates got (the tart)

I have apair of the previous version - the ones with the spines down the fingers. Cost about the same, I think.
They are the most comfy gloves I've ever had, but I only wore them a few times - 2 trackdays and a short road run - and the back plate on one glove kept pinging off and the stitching on the swearing finger on the other glove burst open (I didn't crash or owt).
I took them back to the dealer who spoke to Knox, but they said as they were 'out of warranty' they would charge me £30 to fix 'em. So apparently Knox reckon it's acceptable for barely used gloves to just burst open after a period of time. Not confidence inspiring given their intended purpose.

don't swear at car drivers so often then! :roll::smt083;)
as for the 'warranty' thing, how long had you had them? if you'd bought them a long time ago but just not used them, then you've not got a lot going for you. if you didin't buy them very long ago, then go back there and kick up a fuss! because they're obviously not fit for purpose ie. protecting your hands in the evnt of a crash. you can insist that they be sent back to the manufacturer (you might have to pay the postage though) for assessment (i would suggest to start being nice again by this point though, having been in this situation as a shop manager before, i was always much more happy to help someone who pleasant to me than someone who was a *****!)

Mine have seen a fair bit of abuse now but still fine, no lose stitching and no back plate flapping off (tested to 14k rpm in 6th). Week hooning in France/Spain last week, roughly 3k miles, wearing these all day everyday, no complaints, no pinch points or anything.

Aye, to be fair I acknowledged when I went in that I'd had them unused for a while (unforeseen circumstances!). I guess I was just surprised that Knox were so reluctant to accoet they were clearly not made right- probably a one off, but still. Obviously I sent them off to them anyway for repair as I'm not shelling out for a new pair given their general condition (and I do actually quite like them).
The dealer was more than helpful - so don't worry, I didn't abuse one of your bretheren :smt083
