Needs some new gloves..

[Joeman]

I noticed yesterday that i've worn out the palm of my right glove, and it's now got a small hole in it.

They've done well - ive had them for many years, and they weren't expenive when i bought them, but they've been so comfy i've never bothered to replace them.

Im thinking of getting some of these new Alpine Start SP-Air gloves... anyone got/tried them??

Not cheap, but look good quality.

yes

I have had a pair and all the stitching came out!!

I ended up swapping them for a different brand!

the sizing was a bit odd on them! I had an XL when normally M/L

Check out Held gloves Joe.......mine are super comfortable, but need replacing now, as they're about 8 years old......but I'll be looking at Held gloves again.....

snap them up while you can.. they're not on the distributors list. so that tells me they're no longer being made. (or imported)

Yes they are only round the corner from me

it is my second pair of raven gloves and no complaints with the first pair

well except don't let the missus leave them in the top box wet as they go mouldy and stink resulting in the need to buy a new pair

Lindstrands Flex gloves are the most comfty gloves ever:

Also they are CE approved. Not too many gloves have that.

Do they get too hot in summer?

OK Not much experience on this... Last years summer gloves spliit after first season...

I read this article:

and bought a pair of these:

For the price for the type I cannot fault, there sizes are big! Previous gloves I am 3xl or 2xl these I am a medium but I like them...

I was going to say Racer High Racer - first set lasted 10 years and are very good in the event of an unplanned dismount.

£100 more than the Rayven jobbies though so hard to justify really.

Not at all Joe. In fact they are suitable for summer only, because they have plenty textile between the leather and are too cold for now.

Actually I had the same ARMR gloves and they are very comfty. Very good value for money

The only reason I replaced them is I wanted something with more palm protection. My experience from low sides is I slide on the tarmac with my palm first. Mind you I havn't crashed with ARMRs or Lindstrands yet. My tarmac experience was with cheap Spada and Halvarssons Primus mitten. Both holded well. Spada not so well got tears but protected me just fine. The Primus mitten is with non-existing protection whatsoever except the leather. Does not have a scratch on them go figure

Ive just got a set of these after you recommending them a while ago. Cant fault them and amazon are selling them at just under £100.
