My favorite local shop has them, I'll go try them on and compare them with my Carbons.  But, I'll tell you right now that I passed them by, because of the lack of leather between the fingers.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Wait... you're kidding, right? Dang nabbit. TragicImage agreed to send me his pair to test out for a bit, but I was under the impression they were all leather gloves. Apparently they are neoprene, which means they are out of the running. I guess that means the SP-1s win out.

Anyone have any experience with these gloves:

I've learned that the SP-1s fit pretty tight and can't be worn with liners. Combine that with the perforations between the finger and it looks like I won't be buying them as my all-around gauntlet glove. Bummer.

The MotoGP ones are pretty interesting, I must say. I am definitely considering them as they are the only ones that fit all my criteria.
