New Gloves?

[vort3xr6]

I need new gloves. Full gauntlet style.

I need something that can stand up to a crash or mutliple crashes. Looking at the Astar GP Pro's.

Any suggestions?

I got a pair of the speed and strength from performance, kangaroo palms, reasonably priced and the sizes are close to the other manufacturers unlike the A*'s, haven't crashed them yet though.

I had the GP Plus (I think). They crashed great for me. Zach now owns my old pair if you want to take a look.

I have the GP Tech's and I low sided with them and you can't really even tell. I was fairly impressed to say the least. Hope that helps.

I have the GP pros, and while I haven't crashed in them, others offer better palm sliding protection. They got decently worn out after only one season. Knox or Held is my next glove

[CaneZach]

I love RS Taichis GP-WRX or GP-Evo and A* GP Pros. I've crash-tested the GP-WRX and they still look brand new.

You see Eslick's crash at Daytona. Rs Taichi or Knox, best gloves for the money when compared to others on the market.

Held are way overpriced for what they are.....

[vort3xr6]

Knox aren't low price either. The handroid is a 300 dollar set of gloves.

the GP-pros are at least under 230.

Held Gloves....only pair so far that have not worn out over the years!

Handroids are $249 and for the price are far and above any $300 dollar glove

I'm going to come see you guys tomorrow to check out those Handroids. I've got to replace the piece of shit Joe Rockets I put up with for the last two seasons.

[konichd]

Atta' boy there Jim, plenty of sizes and colors in stock! Only place in CO to get your KNOX!

[brennahm]

Are those Froyo or Gingerbread...?

[laspariahs]

I own the handroids.... Meh....

[LordLosh]

Meh huh, well you cant make everyone happy. Picked up a pair from 303 and i love um. the little robotic exoskeleton on the fingers make it so easy to move your hand. Kangroo skin is perfectly placed. But i guess its just meh compared to?

[Zach929rr]

I prefer trojans.

My Knox gloves split at the seams on 2 fingers on a 40mph low side.
I will not purchase them again.

^^^Each crash is different.Did your hand get hurt? Did you break any bones? Were you able to run the rest of your track day?

What would have happened if you had a "lesser" pair of gloves? Broken finger, how much does that cost? Loss of the rest of your paid track day?

We believe they performed just how they were suppose to in that type of environment. There is a fine line between flexibility and strength when it comes to race gloves. Gloves are not designed with multiple crashes in mind, they are designed to save you in the event of that one crash.

So instead of 1 set of 250 dollar gloves, I should get 5 sets of 50 dollar gloves??

[DRKATO1]

I agree with the one time crash use for gloves, I just think they should have held together better at the seams.
In my 30+ years of riding bikes and crashing numerous times i've never seen any pair of gloves split like that even at 120 mph.

[OUTLAWD]

My GP Pros split at the seems from wearing them twice...so...

Wow! I've owned a pair of GP Pros for over two years and they're still going strong. Which seams split on yours, Dave?
