I tend to use superglue on all my expensive gloves....:rolleyes:

Ha yeah I know but in all honesty they are the most comfortable I've ever had and I only used the glue because I use them daily and didn't want to wait.

Anyway if they have rectified that problem ten there is nothing wrong at all!

I must admit, the fit of the biomech is great and really comfy (same as handroid) but then its all roo leather so should be comfy :D

Good to read this as I'm considering some for the track this year. Funny how your perception of stuff and the performance criteria changes when you buy stuff for racing. It will very probably end up doing what its (supposed) to do. Probably many times. Comfort and looks are a very low second place behind protection.

I want a glove (and boots and suit) that will handle going down the track at 100 mph several times and thats not mentioned in many reviews.

Fot thosethat own these, do you recon, having used them, they'd be up to sliding down the road a few times? Or did the stitching come away on its own after a week of use like most gloves I've bought in the past?

Any plastic armour on the outside is exactly where you would want it.
The same is on both gloves, if you put your hand down, the palm doesnt touch first, theres little knobbles and armour everywhere.
Id be confident of the performance of either glove.
The handroid is supposed to stop fingers over extending backwards too, but I've never had a problem with this in the past anyway:confused:

I know someone who has these. The bits kept flying off. Bit pricey too

Looked at them, got these instead.

Much cheaper, good fit too.
