What's the difference?  Do they have the same amount of armour or more (or less)?

I use dirt bike gloves. They are less padded and only cover up to your wrists. Probably because dirt bikes dont usually ride on concrete. I like them because they are less restrictive and they were much cheaper. But i just ordered a pair of leather gloves which i will plan to use from now on since i heard too many scary stories. Get leather gloves, the extra padding will also help for longer rides as well as unexpected spills.
