Gloves. Which do you like best? was created by waktaylor
I usually wear 2 left gloves, but I'm looking for something new. My Joe Rocket leather gloves are comfortable and fit properly, but breath very little. Also the zippers self destruct.

Im looking for some tough hot weather gloves. BTW my palms are wide and fingers are a little short. Any suggestions? CE rated is a plus; I'm delicate.

My right thumb must be unusually long, as it invariably punches out the end of every glove set I've ever tried in a matter of one or two Ridin' seasons. I can always tell immediately that will happen while trying on gloves when, almost without fail, my thumbs bottom out with a little room still left in the ends of the fingers.
Lee Parks custom-made two sets of deerskin gloves for me nine years ago, sized to my hand tracings; one gauntlet set & one short set. They fit like, well... a glove and, have survived tens of thousands of road miles. No armor though.

Ive used Churchill glove, made in Centralia, WA for over 30 years. I like elk skin out seam sewn with Kevlar. or goat skin. James has a good variety and fitting instructions, or give them a call.

Depends on how much money you are willing to spend. There a some good gloves out there for a decent price, but the really good ones will set you back a bit.

I bought these Held summer gloves a few years back, and I am very satisfied with them. Most money that I have ever spent on gloves though.

I ended up buying Joe Rocket gloves for now. The USA made gloves seem nice but are not quite what I am looking for.

Fall and Winter I wear these. The damn zipper doesn't last more than a month tho.
