How bout these gloves??

[Chris861]

I currently have the JR Atomic gloves and this morning I learned that they don't work very well in cold weather.  I'm in the market for some inexpensive winter gloves and am trying to decide from these few that i have found so far.  I was just wondering if any of you have tried any of these or wondering what your opinions are.

I'm thinking about going with one of the first 2 due to price, although i really like the olympia trailblazers, but newenough is the only place i have found them and they only have size small.  The trip to school is about 5 miles (but I also would like them to withstand longer trips just in case) and it usually gets in the 30's to 40's (F) during the winter. I would like some with adequate protection also.  Thanks a lot,

Chris

Has anyone ever heard of Jafrum leather?? I just found their site, they have a lot of leather stuff for a really good price.  They have quite a few pairs of gloves I was looking at for under $20 and they are genuine leather with 3M thinsulate liner.

These look like they have some sort of carbon fiber looking protection

I had a set of winter gloves before with primaloft that weren't too bad.  3M makes some decent insulation products so i might spend a bit extra on the Olympians.  But before ya spend you might try riding in in a set of heavy gloves if you get a chance.  It's a different experience.  :dunno:

Wouldn't the leather gloves offer more protection from both crashes and the wind? (if they are worth a crap) Just a thought. They also have the 3M insulation, plus I kinda like the look (and price) of the ones with the carbon fiber looking armor.

Thats a review for a type of glove that highly resembles (and has same model number) as these http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.433673/sc.12/category.-112/it.A/id.586/.f

That is actually how i found the company, I did a search on google for the model number GL2068 and it found it.  They claim their prices are so cheap because they manufacture and import their products and they sell a lot in bulk.  They offer discounts when you buy large numbers.  They also say it is good quality leather, not scraps or anything.  This all could be a bunch of BS, just curious of your opinions.  They also have auctions on ebay and their feedback is excellent.

newenough has the olympia trailblazers back in stock.  woot.
i'm ordering me some right now... can't go wrong for 28 bucks, but the dang $9 shipping ticks me off.  i paid the same shipping when i got my helmet/jacket/summer gloves.
