OK, ok, these are cheap as anything- £25... But they're good heavy leather, precurved fingers, and have good padding for the back of the hands. Colourfast too. Shame the cuff is so short, wasn't a problem on the Virago but with a racier position, I get left with a 2" gap between jacket and glove :( If this didn't happen, I wouldn't want another summer glove, basically.

I was wearing these gloves when I binned the bike, and they did admirably... Wasn't the fastest drop, but you'd never know I'd crashed them.

...and now that I'm mainly wearing my leather jacket instead f the cordura, they fit like, well, 2 gloves. Another couple of thousand miles down the road and another spill, and they're still holding up perfectly and look like they did new. Considering they cost 2/5 as much as my Frank Thomas gloves, and the FT ones have fallen apart after less than a thousand and no binnings whatsoever, huge thumbs up.
