I've got Aplinestar 'dual' gloves which seem pretty decent. They've got a longer cuff than most motorcross gloves, as noted jealously by boundy when he got a nasty gash on his wrist.

Got a nice little scar from that, I now ride with A* goretex gloves.

Mine are like the second link - I can remember now it being mentioned that there was a new version out that was even more expensive as I baulked at the £25 (small shop so can't do massive discounts, but they're decent blokes and handy to have in an emergency, so happy to pay their prices occasionally.)

Richa Magma's. Technically road gloves, but very lightweight with loads of protection. Around 30 quid Thumbs Up

Already ordered some like G's now!! Embarassed

But looking at your gloves brings me onto another point ...

Why are off road gloves so pathetic?? Now I know proper off-road doesn't have the need for something that can go down on tarmac, but even still, the off road gloves do seem a bit weedy on things like armour ... why is that!?!? Thinking

I used some MX gloves until I crashed on tarmac at moped racing and went straight through them.

So I think I might get some too!

would recomend the fox bombers, i had a pair, week later one of my riding buddies got a pair, then after that all of my riding mates have them, either in black or white, i have to say that they are very strong as we usually ride in the chalk quarry and they have saved my hands many times Wink
