Gloves and inner seams

[Rosie]

Hi guys, I have 2 pairs of gloves, both of them with inner seams and my poor finger tips are starting to suffer from that, especially my thumbs and index fingers. Can you recommend some good mild to hot weather motorcycle gloves that don't have inner seams?
I checked on various websites but this feature is not always mentioned..
Thank you as always!!

have a look at these. If you fit the sizes still available, these are a steal at this price. I have a pair and cannot say enough about their comfort.

They look pretty good and they even have a visor wiper!
My size is there (I have tiny hands..). Only one question, they seem kind of heavy, can I wear them in 80-85 degree weather without sweating?

Rosie...... I'm really partial to the RS Taichi gloves (shorties or gauntlet). The women's sizes are one size fits all.... way to small. But the men's are built very slender and very comfortable for a woman's hand. I've got 3 pair (mesh vent), (perforated leather) and (full on leather with wrist protection). I love them all.... the perferated leather handles both spring/summer/fall. Colors and protection pretty darn good for the price. U should go by and give it a try-on.

unless you wear a vented type glove, any glove you wear in 80-85 degree weather will result in sweaty hands, from my experience. Although they look "bulky", the gloves are made from a nice supple leather and the palms of kangaroo hide, which is thinner than most cowhides while providing the same strength with greater "feel" for the controls as a bonus.

The workmanship is top notch and they provide extra care of the sewing in the fingers to prevent seams which can annoy your hands when riding.

The best thing I can say about these gloves is that once you have them on and are riding, you forget all about them and don't even notice they are on your hands.

I'll check these out as well
No friggin' inner seam, right?? Both my thumbs and my index fingers have calluses on the tips now!

They do look pretty comfy... hmm... I wonder if I should get these for when it gets colder..

to be honest, when I ride in cooler weather (40-50*), I feel these gloves allow my hands to get too cold. I think it has something to do with the thinner kangaroo hide in the palms. think of this glove as a full gauntlet, 3 season glove.

It is really a good price for the quality... you got me convinced!!

+1 the steves are great gloves. Everything from held is very comfortable to me and of high quality. They use external seams on the majority of their gloves which makes them very comfortable.

Rosie ... I had a pair of gloves that really bothered my inner right baby finger. Seam was pressing in it on a spot that made it really uncomfortable.... seam issue. Turned the glove finger inside out and at the spot a simply trimmed some of the seam off without breaching the stitching... took a couple of times to get it cut down just right, put it on and never had a problem again. Heck for a 100.00 pr of gloves it fixed the issue without wasting the glove... yay. Those inner seamed gloves will get u every time.

Didn't think of that!! I bought the Steves gloves that Kelly suggested but I'll also look into making the ones I already own a bit more comfortable.. Since my issue is mainly on the thumb, and I have some space left at the tip, maybe I'll try to add some cotton ball material..

Trimmed my seams also.

If it's just a hotspot or two in the glove, better to trim out the seam and get full use of the glove. Works for me and its as compfy as can be.
