Guess I need to make a trip to Performance and try some stuff on...
I don't care about looks - what I mean is, I don't want to look like Mr Squid, or like some moron, but I've never been part of the fashion parade when it comes to bike gear. I want functionality and usability first.
However, the vented Spidi's appear to be quite a bit more expensive. MileHigh, which ones do you like? The carbovent ones are like $265.
Ironically newenough has the Rocket 2003 version speedmasters but kneedraggers is $10 less. Go figure. Yeah spidey, it was the violator pro's I'm thinking about. I'd prefer a vented glove I think, as it is when I'm using them I'll be in a full suit baking in the sun...
I dunno, the rockets look to have a bit more protection (plus double padding on the palm) all around, which for $130 doesn't seem too bad. Don't think santa will swing the spidi's but we'll see... heh. Has anyone use the rocket speedmasters than can comment? It's hard as hell to tell for sure from the ads, so I think tomorrow I'll go do some comparison shopping on my lunch break, but nothing beats unbiased user reviews...
