13th May through to 2nd June

Rest of the year will be winter

Well I got a pair of Knox summer gloves last year and can't fault them, the wind up wire wrist fastener is way better than the usual velcro stuff.

cherrs andy, tbh its the fastening system that i interesting me at the moment, quite fancy giving them a try, but i've also heard some good reviews of the A*365's.

i'll have to mull it over a bit longer maybe

HOW MUCH? Shocked

Do they have airbags built in, or a frikkin' forcefield?

Why not Arlen Ness ones? I picked up a reduced pair of summer gloves the winter before last in a sale, been impressed with the quality and still use them now.

I got the version down from the Knox Handroids, I have done a few thousand miles with them and they are very comfortable. They have roo leather so are nice and soft, are vented on all of your finger joints and the dial-in twisty thing on the wrist allows you to set the tightness of the cuffs really easily.

Top notch IMO Thumbs Up

Here's my video review of the alpinestars 365

Fit is very good. It's basically the <07 GP Pro gloves without the cuff armour. Had mine for a year and ridden 6k miles in them. Bought them to replace the Alpinestars Tech Road gloves and I find that these are certainly very sporty. Great glove. Very supportive and windproof. I wear mine throughout winter or when temperatures are between 0-15 deg C.
