Well i'm going to have a punt on them. I've currently got 3 pairs of gloves and hate them all so for that sort of cash am willing to give them a try to find something that actually works for me.

Save your money and go to Hein Gericke.
For ?38 quid you will be able to get a decent quality glove, you will also be able to see them in the flesh/try on before buying. ***In a crash whats one of the first things to touch the floor??? - HANDS!!!!!*** You know it makes sense. ![]() |

Tried all 3 of my pairs on before buying, worked lovely on the shop floor but poo actually on the bike. My first pair, mid range Frank Thomas ones were totally and utterly destroyed after a couple of months of normal riding! Glad i didnt actually crash in the things.

I bought HG gloves which promptly fell apart, literally after 5 rides!!! Didn't keep my reciept and the arrogant tosser in the shop wouldn't take them back accusing me of buying them from a show (they were just out at the time )
End result - i won't be spending any money in their shop again. |

I used to know a uy that could get you anything you wanted, in any quantities and in any colour. If he didn't have it available he'd buy one and copy it.
Thing is, these used to cost him 12p for a t-shirt, would cost my mate £3-5 and he could sell em for £20 plus, if he fancied robbing someone he'd sell it for £50!!! These t-shirts would fall to bits in 3 washes max!!! (they don't compy the stitching as it costs too much and the materials are the cheapest they can get that LOOK legit!!! |

Searched ebay and found countless new sellers though. Know they are fake, but if they are decent-ish leather with decent enough stitching then thought it may be worth a punt.

Ive got some.
gd plus gloves , have withstood one crash and long slide very well and still work just a good. i cant fault them for the money.... and if there cheap enough there not a waste if they dont last that long. just make sure you get the right size by trying on in a shop first ! |
