Was thinking about putting into motocross however want to wear it for general use, so placed here...

I'm thinking of getting some motocross gloves for general use however.. is it actually safe to do this. I have seen an extremely gorgeous pair.

So safe for general use Question

The Details;

* Silicone fingertips
* Clarino palm
* Superior comfort
* Laser cut

Also this might sound stupid with these being motocross gloves do they have to be the same size as normal gloves or smaller I'm normally large in gloves Question

I wouldn't use them exclusively for road use.

You'll shred your palms if you bin it at a meaningful speed. Your hands of course, but I've only ever used mine for going too and from green lanes or on the MTB.

Its totally your choice, they will in no way offer as much protection as say leathers gloves with hard knuckles.. They're meant for motocross on mud and grass, probably wont handle being scrapped down the road.

However, i have a pair for summer, there's lots of feel in them because they are so light and thin.

Its all personal choice Wink

All about compromises and risks.

Thanks for the replies expected them replies to be honest although was hoping for the opposite. I have tried some motocross gloves before riding and felt more in touch with the bike, better reactions and that.

Shame that some company can't just make some actually decent looking gloves with more of an appeal whilst being safe that would entise more young riders to actually wear gloves. Remember back in june when I brought a bike magazine the top rated gloves (also best seller and most expensive) in there looked like they had been burnt.

i use my motocross gloves when im out for a run ride as they look good and feel much better , but they are designed for people to fall of the the dirt not concrete. i can say now they just by feeling my motocross gloves they it wont give me any protection.

but like i said they are great for just a joy ride not so much in commuting back to from work

oh and they dont keep your hands warm

I am in need of a new pair of summer gloves, I can't stand anything remotely thick. I have a pair of A* SPX's at the moment but have started to wear through the palms.

I have seen the Furygan AFS 6's which I really like just can't find any where local to buy them

If you do go this way, you could consider adding a pair of knitted kevlar gloves as a liner.

Just buy your normal size, a knitted kevlar liner wont be designed to replace your glove, so your MX ones should slide over the top.

But its getting to that time of year now where you would want warmer buggers on.
