My glove drawer is about full, but I seem to want more.
Six pairs of moto specific gloves.
I seem to have little sales resistance.
1. I wore some Mechanix gloves to learn.
2. I wore some leather work gloves to practice. (Already had both of these.)
3. I next bought some basic Scorpion Bixbys, black. Good looking. They were slightly too small for me, though usable, and I wanted something more protective after a little experience with gravity.
4. Scorpion SGB gauntlets in high viz and red. Superfabric, plastic for the base of the palm, superfabric inserts.
5. Warm weather came. I bought the same gloves in black in a short cuff, just to discover that the Kevlar stitching (green) was too strong and was tearing out the leather.
6. My wife bought me some winter gloves, Tourmaster polar Tex, waterproof and warm. Not a lot of protection, but very comfortable.
7. Summer came back. I watched a cyclecruza video about hand signals and bought some Icon overlord resistance in high viz. Thin leather, but very comfortable and cool. They have some synthetic black stuff that in hot weather gets under my fingernails.
8. Still wanted some high viz summer gloves, but all leather and high viz, so I bought some Alpinestars gpx. Much more protective than the Icon, fit smaller.
