Alright, so the nice weather here in Oregon I think is finally going to grace us with it's presence (yeah right, almost June now and it's still feeling a bit chilly!). Anyways, anyone recommend a good pair of leather riding gloves? I had a pair of Frank Thomas last year(my first ones) and they just sucked...the stitching started to come out after only a month and the leather was too this so it stretched on the tips of my fingers.

 

icon mercs long or short or alpinestars are good ones

 

theres a pair of a stars sp3s in there. i like them but prefer the armoured protection myself

a star sp3s icon hooligans merc shorts green and black icon hooligan 2s

 

1+ on the icon Merc. They have done pretty well for me.

 

I have 2 pair of the Alpine Star gloves. I love them both. All leather long cuff carbon knuckle, and a Mesh pair. Very comfy, should check them out. My son rides with the Icon, he says they are awsome gloves

 

Thanks guys! I'll check em out once pay day rolls around.

 

i just picked these up from my neigbhor brand new60$ gloves for 20 bucks they did'nt fit him right. Alpine stars SMX2[sm=wootwoot.gif]

 

Sweet deal Dogg! I was just checking them out on-line. Went to a few stores today to see them but none to be had. I have a pair of Icon Pursuits but they fit a little tight. Can never have too many gloves! [8D] Let me know what you think of them.

 

+1 icon merc, i went with the gauntlet over the wrist ones, they provide great protection only downside i have is that theres a little bit too much room in the pinky which makes it a little hard to squeez the pinky around the bars until theyre broken in

 

so far bro im liking them. just the die or what ever leaves ur hands black the first couple of times you wear them. all in all tho there nice.
