race gloves

[sway]

i think my current riding gloves are not race ama/mra/ccs approved, but putting so much $$ into the new race bike leaves little extra to buy new gloves. what is the cheapest ama approved gloves i can buy? and are they big and bulky, where the vegas heat will just kill my hands, or are there glove that allow my hands to breath? you guys are the pros, what do you think?

Any glove that has a leather palm and leather that covers the fingers is MRA approved & since our rules are based on the AMA rules they would be AMA legal as well! So simply put you could go to Ace hardware and get some leather work gloves for $4.99 & you would be all set.One question though.... what are your hands worth to you?? im not saying you have to buy the most expensive race gloves made but buy the best ones you can afford.
The most important thing anyone should spend money on first is the best safety gear possible.Of course this is just my opinion but in the last 7 years of racing in all the crashes i have had none of my injuries were caused by safety gear failing to do its job!

I think Mike summarized things well, but just wanted to mention that in the "Gear" forum on this site, there is a pretty good discussion of gloves, including mention of some good deals you might be interested in...
