Show me your summer gloves

Me is needing a new pair for 2010. The old ones have lasted me quite a few years of summer use. Im trying to find a certain type, but can't find anything like them anywhere.

The old ones i've got are Pro Sports by Hein Gerike, and I mainly love them because of all the holes between the fingers to allow airflow. On a really hot day, you mearly spread your fingers to get a nice cool rush of air flowing up your glove and into your jacket arms. If you get cold, you close your fingers.

Anyway, rambling over, im trying to find a similar set, and HG don't do anything like this any more. The only gloves im seeing that i like cost £150+, and I think i got these bad boys in a sale for about £35!! Bloody steal.

I think my budget really is a vmax of £80 as I need some new summer boots too.






ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


IF anyone has got any online links to some good online bike kit shops that I can spend my day looking though, well that would be just dandy too, as im not gonna do much work today, as frankly, it sucks, and im in a bad mood

for the girls amongst us. Halvarssons Hill gloves. In fact two sets of gloves I own are from them, very recommended as a brand

They had a pair down there and I wasn't keen tbh. I can see the hand area getting really dirty and minging.

Oh, im a fussy badger by the way.

Yeah, mine are already a bit discoloured from rubber rubbing off my grips. I can't see how you would avoid that with any glove that colour. I don't know if they do black kangaroo leather?

I have them. Bought from Hein Gericke and been fine for 4000 or so miles so far!

Alpinestars SP1 for me.



Comfortable, loads of feel.

Mine have been used and abused in all weathers and and been down the road at 90+ and are still in good nic.

There is alot of fakes about which look near as damn spot on but fall apart.

I use Alpinestars Octane S-Moto Gloves, very light cool and comfortable. Might not offer the same protection as G's SP1's though.

I've got some Technik gloves.....these...http://www.teknicgear.com/smt-glove/

Thing I like about them is that they are short at the wrist, but not too short, they meet with the leather so don't overlap.....giving you decent flexibility. Plus really well vented, good armour.

Listed as £49.99 on their website but we only paid £25 for them. Only use them when nice and warm, otherwise use my RST's
