Alpinestars Copper Textile Gloves - Teak I’ve had a different colour version of these gloves for many years now, so when mine got stolen I re ordered these without any hesitation, great feel and fit for the summer months, not great when cold though.
Alpinestars Stella SP-8 V3 Leather Gloves - Black / Black Mostly what I was expecting (all good) but seems to have a oddly long thumbs in comparison to the fingers for some reason
Weise Street Fight Glove - Black I bought these as spring, summer and autumn gloves. Nice and lightweight with good protection. Also they are quite flexible.
Alpinestars Durack Gloves - Bright Red / Walnut A good summer glove and designed well with a pull on loop. Velcro fastening so easy to adjust
Alpinestars SMX-1 Air V2 Mixed Gloves - Black These are good gloves buy I find the wrist strap could be a like larger.
I bought two sizes to try and found both the same
Oxford Dakar 1.0 Gloves - Charcoal / Yellow Very comfortable! Wasn't expecting just how comfy they are! Very high quality, and excellent tactile awareness/ability with with them. Would definitely recommend and buy again!
RST Vortek Summer Gloves - Black / Black I bought these to replace an older pair of mesh gloves. The Vortek gloves allow lots of airflow through the fingers and back of the hands as you would expect, but unlike my previous gloves they also offer knuckle and scaphoid protection.
