best gloves...

[Hubie000]

Anyone recomend a decent brand/type of riding gloves? I've been through a few pair of Thor gloves but I always seem to rip out the index finger tips...are there any out there with a "re-enforced" finger tip??

thanks

I use Oneals and I buy them 1 size bigger to avoid that

I just use whatever looks/fits good and is CHEAP! I get about 2 pair a year. I end up lending out a pair or 2 each year. I like fresh gloves.

I have a pair of SHIFT (currently use) gloves... super nice... Troy Lee (Mountain Biking) that have lasted forever, and some YAMAHA logo ones that have fleece in them for the fall.

I'm the same way. Gloves never last me more than a couple months so I've always got a couple pairs laying around. Half the time I buy a new pair just cuz I misplaced my current pair. I've never really noticed any "performance" differences.

I use fox racing gloves. they are cheap and like said above usually lend a pair out or lose a pair. No sense in buying high dollar gloves to just lose or lend out.

i generally get fox gloves, use them for about 1 summer, then hand them down to my nephew if he wants them. i pretty much go with what looks cool, and feels comfortable. so far that's been fox for me.

Try your hand (pun intended) with a set of Answer Mechanix gloves.

 

They don't have the padding on the other side of the fingers/knuckles, but...they're relatively cheap, you can get 'em at any local automotive store...and they last!
