Icon Pursuit Stealth gloves
I went riding for about an hour this morning. The temperature was about 7c (45f), and I found my hands were chilled wearing a pair of summer weight Cortech gloves. I stopped at a local motorcycle shop and tried on maybe a dozen pairs of gloves.
I ended up buying a pair of Icon Pursuit Slealth gloves. They are a plain short style, black leather with black stitching. They have knuckle armor sandwiched under the leather rather than over top. They seemed very comfortable from the moment I tried them on. The only negative was the price, $75 plus tax, which I think is a lot to pay for a pair of street riding gloves. After buying them, I immediately went out riding for about 30 minutes. Right away I took a shine to them; they are very comfortable and feel broken in, as if I've been wearing them for years. Anyone else tried these?

Ive tried them on. I really like the fit. I have skinny fingers and they seem to fit me a lot better than other gloves. alas I am way way way to cheap to buy a pair.
Right now I have a pair of castle and Icon gloves that I got used off of friends that bought them and didn't like them. I am waiting for the right price….

those will probably be my next street gloves, my scorpion klaw gloves took a pretty solid hit w/my lowside and though I feel that they are still holding up well enough I'd be more comfortable with some new gloves.
track gear first though

dude, gauntlets. i'm a chef and have worked with broken fingers more than once, yes it sucked but i could still work. if i had broken a wrist then i would have had some unpaid time off.
they keep you warmer, esp if you slip a heating pack on the inside of your wrist for those below 40 days. |

Well, I've tried to wear different gauntlets and I absolutely, positively hate them, so no thanks.
I've been wearing these Icon gloves on my daily commute, and I really like them.
