Richa Flex 2 GTX Gore-Tex Gloves - Black First of all, usual shout out to SBS for the usual, excellent customer service - ordered 3 sizes and free returns on the ones I didn't keep.
So, these gloves are lovely - once they are on! The opening is just too tight, even before the velcro is fastened, for getting your hand in. Once in, glove is a really nice fit but that cuff is really tight & will cause some to have to go for a bigger size (I now realise what a vet feels like shoving his hand in a cows arse).
Once on, they feel great. The D30 armour at the knuckles makes them feel nice & flexible. Been gortex I have the confidence they will be waterproof & the rubber on the left finger perfect for clearing the screen. Also work perfectly with touch screen. Leather on the palm gives a nice grip as well.
On the whole, if you can get passed the wrist, perfect glove.
Spirit Motors David Deckhand Leather Glove - Black Great value / looks good
RST Fulcrum CE Perforated Leather Gloves - Black / Black / Black The armour for the knuckles slightly digs in on one of the gloves makes it uncomfortable at times . Still a good pair of gloves
Knox Oulton MK2 Gloves - Black / Red These gloves fit perfectly and provide excellent feedback — they deliver everything I needed and then some. My only minor gripe is that the cuff strap could be a touch longer when worn over a leather jacket
Weise Victory Leather Gloves - Black This is the second pair of these gloves I've had. They're comfortable from the off and fit, well, like a glove. Ideal for summer, easy to get on & off, has a small rubber 'grip' that goes under the cuff of your jacket so that the gloves doesn't slip. They will stand a light shower, but not prolonged rain. Ideal summer glove!
RST Ladies Stunt 3 CE Mixed Gloves - White Very stylish,well made, protects my hands perfectly, movement whilst wearing is good colour matches my bike and the rest of my gear perfectly.
Held Misawa Leather Gloves - Black / White Great quality pair of gloves that look and feel great. The touchscreen enabled fingers work very well and my hands cool during warm summer days. Only thing holding it back is the flimsy Velcro straps used to fasten them and the minimal outer wrist protection.
