Hey Guys,
I just got my SP-1's in the mail today and thought I would do a quick video review:

Video is private :/
BUT! I've had my SM-2 that I got last year and I still love them... can only assume SM-1s are a bit more comfortable. |

Should be fine now. Yeah, pretty stiff in the beginning but they will break in and hopefully be baby smooth Ps: You mean SP-2 and SP-1 right? :P |

Sued! Hahaha, we will see about comfort factor. I gave them about 30 km yesterday while I had the chance, but obviously the leather is still quite hard on the inside and has yet to get softer. Hopefully it won't take long! |

What I really like about these gloves is that they aren't SUPER ventilated so they keep your hands decently warm in cold weather (1 celsius on my last ride), but are ventilated enough they keep your hands from dying in super hot weather. They also seem to be decently waterproof. I just had a 30 minute ride in a pretty heavy downpour and my hands came cold but dry. |

i have a pair of these for about 4 months now. yea break in period was killer on my thumb. once broken in it feels really good. they don't make very good cold weather gloves tho, my fingers were absolutely numb after 25 min ride to work on a 40 deg day. only negative is the gray vinyl by the wrist area has started to peel off. would expect better quality than this from A*.

Ironpony on eBay has this for sub 100 shipped more like $83 shipped. AYC models which the OP has. I thought I saw Yamaha tag in the video somewhere along with AYC tag in the edge of the cuff in the inside at 1:25 and on. If you got it for 180 return them and get them off of eBay.

In reference to the 180, I was talking about buying them (the normal one's) from anywhere else besides Ironpony :P Maybe I didn't make myself clear :O:O Thanks for the heads up anyways :thumbs up: |
