I know this has been kind of covered in some of the other forums people just mentioning what gloves they use. But I thought since they're such an important, yet overlooked part of your safety gear, they should have their own thread.
Right now I'm just using some Fox Racing Bomber gloves I have from Mountain biking. My wife is going to get me a good pair for my birthday Thursday. I'm either going to get the A-Stars SP2 or the Icon Merc gloves. Both are about the same cost (around $100) and both have full leather palms and full length gauntlet wrist protection. I think those are the most important things to make sure you have in a street glove. (Besides comfort.) I've tried on some of the most expensive gloves out there and in all honesty, to me a lot of them are not comfortable at all. The Icon TiMax gloves were awful for my hands. That metal plate felt like it was crushing my knuckles when I'd close my hand.
What gloves have you guys used? Good, bad, ugly?
