I while back I mentioned wanting these gloves...well I bought them. Came in today. First impressions?
The leather is only 1~1.2mm thick, doubled in some areas. Not as heavy as I'm used to but there's a lot of material on top of the gloves (where my injuries usually happen).
The carbon fiber knuckle is made of real carbon fiber. that was unexpected.
The sewn and asthetic finnish is very nice...better than a lot of A* and Dainese stuff I've seen.
I prefer buckles to velcro but oh well...it works.
The fit is AWESOME!! They fit like they were made for my hand!
The thread isn't actually bullet-proof :(
Overall I really like them. If I wear my 2mm palm-gloves under them I'll have some pretty good protection, too.
I love the fast on the throttle side!
^reason for buy! lol
Those are really cool. Were they expensive and where did you get them?
i got them off ebay...

they're a little hard to type in though
You should just get fast and slow tattooed on your knuckles and then get the devil chick tattooed on you left wrist and the angel chick tattooed on the right. That would look cool.
I don't need decoration for my bare hands and wrists to look cool. My body is a glissining shrine of epidermal coolness.

Did that emoticon turn Mr. 7 into one of the Borg?
Yeah, I didn't have cable in the mid-90's. Hey, I was in high school and we lived out in the country.
Sure did. His resistance was futile.

"PIMP HAND: Your ability to control your hoes. Or the control of your pimpin' business. A pimp hand can be strong or weak. Keep your pimp hand strong." -- UrbanDictionary.com
:icon_lol:
Pandy, always refer to the urban dictionary when you see a word like that. It is your friend, and will keep you in the know when you hang around the most "fly" people--like us!
:laugh: I completely forgot about the Urban dictionary.... I am so un-hoe, I guess... :icon_lol:
ahhhhh grasshoppa! you must embrace your inner ghettoness :flipoff:

Like, Yo...love the 'fro! :laugh: Ok...I'll have to go do some reading in the Urban Dictionary so that I don't sound soooo unhip! :o :laugh: :icon_razz:
The word hip is so un-hip, IMO.
When somebody says "I'm pretty hip", I know right away that they are full of crap.
But I guess if one wears pimp gloves, that makes being hip ok, right? :dunno_white: :laugh:
I suppose.
<sips can of "Pimp Juice.">
Yeah, I think that would make somebody pretty cool if they wore pimp gloves.
Goin back to the gloves, does the liner tend to rub off on your hand after a while? I have some Tourmaster robomax gloves, and after every ride over 10 minutes my palms are black from the inner leather.
That's never happened to me. ..you could try giving thema good rinse. Maybe it's just excess dye.

Every set of moto gloves I've bought have done this. Perhaps we just have extra sweaty hands. :icon_lol:
any kind of saleen solution (sweat, for example) will break down dye.
Usually after the first few wearings, mine no longer "sweat" dye...just for the first few wearings. :thumb:
