They're not made for use whilst riding your bike as they offer no prtection at all. They're just for when your working on it. There's loads of decent gloves for sale on ebay. Why not try that.

I thought these ones looked quite good for summer, but the guy in the shop said they wouldn't be good for coming off at motorway speeds, more like for pootling around town.

Bendy and Danny have got them I think maybe they will comment.

The gloves I bought at the Ally Pally bike show don't fit me. The armour in one of the knuckles rubs on my knuckle so much they are painful to wear. Sad

I got some rayven gloves. Suprisingly cheap, £30 or something IIRC, I bloody love them, my mum even made me buy her some. Bloody biker parents!

Not particularly good in winter, very comfortable, you can feel exactly what's going on i.e not too thick. And they look good, they have all the fashionable carbon fiber, knuckles etc.

I use the same gloves, all year round... Once you get going, your hands cool down anyway.
