Gloves

Well obviously,I'm gonna put in a word for Icon TiMax gloves and they have brought back the original style. For street use they are great gloves.

Okay,I've had the;

Kushitani two-piece gloves-hated them for street as they SUCKED to take off and put on,great for the track,sucks if you're out cruising and stopping with the boys. "Hold up I gotta get my FUCKING gloves on!!!"

Dainese-got a pair when I bought my two Dainese jackets,they looked VERY high quality but didn't fit,sent them back and went to A*. In fact,I had also bought the D boots as well and they didn't fit either,hence my first pair of A* SMX (no +) boots.

Alpinestars GP Techs-never fit right and MURDER to remove and put on. Quality was bad but A* did send me a new pair which I immediately sold for $50...true story. GP Plus-broke four fingers on my left hand wearing them. I was the A* poster boy until then...

Technics,several models-I lived about 5 miles from the Technics HQ and even knew the owner semi-personally. Sorry,but the gloves just didn't last.

Held-they look like good quality and I haven't tried any for years but when I did they felt like "welder's gloves",really thick and cumbersome for street duty IMHO.
