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)

given i broke my scaphoid in my left wrist about 10 weeks ago (still in a cast today), i bought a pair today. €165

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.
