Gloves

What leather gloves is everyone using?

Held Titan?s.
Have had them for 6 years and covered maybe 60k miles in them and only recently has the clutch index finger worn through.
Highly recommended

Knox Handroids Bob, ultimate protection and very hi-tech.

I've just taken delivery of a pair of Handroids today. They seem very good but we'll see.

Alpinestars

Held titans.

I bought mine about 4 years ago Bob, I got a red pair and a white pair, the white ones are fantastic but for some strange reason the red ones hurt me like hell, they were both the same size?

Sold the red ones and the white ones have lasted me since with about 12k miles on them with virtually no wear. The plastic on the palm area is what appealed to me, so that your hands will slide in the event of a spill rather than grab the road and injure you more. Although glad I haven't tried that out.

I read somewhere they are releasing the mk 4 this year. With the biggest changes since they were launched.

I don't fancy trying them out either ha.
4 years is a good life span on gloves, they should do me a long time

I wear Dainese Full Metal Pro gloves and they are absolutely superb. Having crashed on track in a set at over 120 mph I would highly recommend them.

Another vote for HELD.

Another vote for Handroids , brilliant gloves. I've also a pair of Alpinestars GP plus I've had for maybe 8 years and crashed in them and still ok.

60k ! Your hardcore

Stuart's Galaxy sent this !

3rd pair of Handroids..excellent protection, fit and feel.

Alpinestars 365 gortex.. had them 5 years.. great all year round glove.. 100% waterproof.

On my 3rd pair of Alpinestars GP's had the original Pros back in the late 90's/early 2000's and they survived a decent get off at slightly more than 60(!!) with very little damage and went on for another 4 to 5 years.

Have a pair of black GP Plus now and they've maybe done 1500miles so not even bedded in yet

Sizing wise: my hands are a size 8 (not massive) so generally aligning to a medium, however I have found that for Alpinestars I need a Large (med pretty much cuts my circulation off!! Italians clearly have tiny hands), RST gloves Medium is a baggy loose fit and Small is way to tight, Held I seem to be between a M and an L with one being to tight and the other way to loose and the Knox Handroids I'm deffo a M however the fingers are way to long which means the armour and bits don't sit right and dig in etc not making for a nice feel when riding.

I do continually try on different gloves just in case I find something different from the AStars, but for now I'm a GP Pro/Plus kinda guy :smile-new:

Ive used RST blade and tracktech evos for a few years. Comfortable gloves. Just got the new TTevo3 gloves but strangely the seams cut the fingers of me

I recently returned my Handroids, decent gloves........ I just couldn't get the correct fit. I tried both large and XL. However I got in the post today 'Five' RFX1, gorgeous. Perfect fit, and if I'm honest, better quality than the Hadroids.
It's just my humble opinion of course [emoji23]

Five, 4SR and PSI are 3 brands I don't know enough about. Nice to hear some feedback on one of them? Chuck up a picture or 3 if you don't mind.

Hi Alex, here you go! I'd looked for that long and then these jumped out at me [emoji16]
