Gloves advice

[Robik]

Hi all,

cbt (check), helmet (check), RST jacket (check)..... now gloves

I know what size glove I am, so I can go for anything off the net really.

I have been looking around and like everything else, you can spend £10 or £100's, however as I plan to do local and occasional riding I don't really want to spend £100's on gloves.

Second hand gloves don't seem to appealing to me (although I did pick up a used jacket).

I want something with knuckle and wrist protection. Trying to spend around £20-£25 on the gloves.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Seriously go to a shop find some try them on and purchase. At that price they will all be of similar quality.

You might think that, but not all manufacturers use the same sizing. A large in one brand will be a medium in another.

Go to a shop and try before you buy. With your budget they won't be any more expensive in most shoops.

if you're in Leicester , get yourself to JTS and have a look in the shop, they often have good deals on and you can try before you buy..my advice would be buy the best you can afford ( but no harm in a bargain ) , your hands are kinda important

I would suggest getgeared.com

Same situation as you a month ago, got a cracking pair of arctic gloves for £35....(They are summer but you can get winter ones also)....delivery next day as well

Good luck!

Is there anything like sharp tests for gloves (and other motorbike gear)?

Thanks

I suppose you could look for reviews but its hard with gear just go by your own instincts and what your willing to pay.Most expensive gloves I ever bought were £45 as an example.

x2. I am a medium with IXS gloves, a large for Oxford gloves and an XL for Alpinestars gloves.

I'll tell you what, I went into dammerals once to get gloves. On one shelf there were some L's which were too small, the next shelf the XS were too big!

Doesn't even make sense

sportsbikeshop the RST range of gloves are very good value for money
