New Gloves?

[GuitarX]

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

Sure. If your hands are only worth $50 to you. My hands are important to me so I buy nice gloves.

By the way, I had a pair of Held Kryptons (discontinued now) and the index finger blew out (didn't even crash - just from less than one season's worth of use). I'm not so sure about Held's current quality control so I won't go back to them. The Handroids are my favorites of all the race gloves I've ever had. The top-line Alpinestars are nice too though. Either way you can't go wrong.

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?

I want to say between the index and middle fingers...A* got back to me and said they'd fix them, but then never gave me an addy to ship to...so I sewed them up myself

If I remember correctly, the gloves and suit were a combo deal, but you did throw in a set of RS Taichi pucks, so I guess you sponsor my knees lol

I have a set of bio mechs and after 67 days the seams on both hands on two of the fingers split out. Now I have to say knox did take care of the problem after 2 months of trying to get it taken care of. But I have never heard of Held splitting.

Mine were a very early batch though so who knows. Dunno if I will buy knox next time unless these hold up WAY better

I have had 2 pair of Olympia's and 3-4 pair tourmasters that I have slid on the pavement with on several occasions with each and never split a seam or wore through the palms or anything put grind down armor knuckles, and finger armor, have never so much as sprained a finger. And they have all lasted year after year of riding/racing and supermoto . All these expensive ass gloves falling apart from just riding makes me think I'll just stick with the cheap shit.

[OUTLAWD]

I got a pair of hein gericke gloves, and they were older, but held up surprisingly well, but the palm started to wear thin after 3 (~25k) years of street and a season of track days and 1/2 seson of racing...paid $10, from a guy who bought up what a closed dealership had left

It's pretty hard to find ineffective gear these days, then again I just bought Sidi boots...

I just got home from riding and I wore my new RS Taichi suit and GP Evo gloves. Overall, I love the suit and gloves. The suit is a little loose in the midsection and a little tight in the arms and thighs, but it'll break in. I can't believe how soft the leather is.

The GP Evos are an exceptional pair of gloves. They incorporate the Knox scapphoid (sp?) protection, as do the GP WRX, but the Evo's are significantly larger. The gauntlet is made from the same leather as my suit, so it's soft and supple already. The actual glove is made of much thicker leather, so it was a little stiff at first. It's still a little stiff, but I'm sure they'll break in quickly. Overall, they're an exceptional pair of gloves.

The GP-WRX is a great pair of gloves as well. I've crashed in them and they held up beautifully. The scapphoid protection did its job and they still look like they're new. They feel a bit thicker overall than the Evos, including the gauntlet. The armor on the WRX is carbon fiber while the Evos have what appear to be hard plastic. Either glove you go with will be a great choice!

You just did.

If there's a free Dainese suit involved, count me in. But I have to have my old number otherwise no dice.

[CYCLE_MONKEY]

I've been using the A-Stars GP-Pro for about the last 5 years. The old ones never got crashed in, and they actually wore thru on the left thumb like all my gloves do from flipping up my faceshield a lot over the years and had been rained on a couple times bad and sweat in for years. The second pair I bought in the summer of '09 were made a tad small I thought, but I love 'em, and pretty reasonably priced.

[vort3xr6]

I got the Knox Biomechs and couldn't be happier. Great gloves for the price.

[d3spair]

Anyone in CO carry Held? 303?

[konichd]

We have decided against bringing in Held. We have much better high end gloves for the price.

Sweet! Nice choice...

I had great experiences with all my icon gauntlet gloves. I may get a pair so I can just use the biomechs for racing.
