Title: More gear questions (sorry)
Post by: LPC2104 on March 22, 2006, 09:59:08 AM
Sorry to bore everyone with repeat questions.  I've done a lot of searching on the site and the internet but I'm having a tough time finding good info on 2 items.  If anyone has experience with either the A-Stars SP-1 gloves or the Sidi B-one boots I'd love to hear how the hold up.  Links are at the bottom.  Thanks!

I've had the SP-1 gloves for about 3 years now. they are great! one thing though. I've noticed several of these gloves in black, mine included, have faded significantly pretty quickly. the black leather turns dusty brown (okay, how do you describe worn leather?) within 6 months of use or less. Other than that, they ROCK. Survived my crash without a mark. worth the money. I bought mine from newenough.com too I think. GREAT customer service there.

Thanks for the replies.  Does anyone have any experience with the boots or want to comment whether or not it's a good boot?
