I'm using a pair of Furygans, short cuff, lightweight, ventilated, supple and with knuckle guards, I like them better than the BMW GS gloves I'd been using for 4 years. Don't know model name.
I broguht a pair of bufflo summer gloves off ebay for naff all this year thought they would only last a few months but they have been great the ventalation is great and yet you still get good protection.

Whilst we are on the subject of gloves
Check out this item on eBay, Item number: 220863598981
Just put the "number" in the search box
I bought a pair a few weeks back at £10.39 and thought they were a bargain
They are now reduced to £7.79
So I've ordered another pair
They are available in all sizes from XS to XL
The quality is very good in my opinion, especially for the price
No armour on them but that isn't everyones 1st priority
But good warm comfortable gloves are always welcome on a bike
KC why dont you just buy 4 odd coloured gloves then switch them around randomly in the dark so it'll be a surprise as to the colour you have on when the light is turned on ???
or should i eat less blue smarties ?

Valhalla_Rising.... it like looking for the holy grail ..thay dont exist ....till you find them ...then bingo hugs x ill but out now so you can get on with your quest Camelot supports you
I bought some gloves from NEC show some years ago and still wearing 'em even though thumb is now disintegrating...love em. But only happened on them by chance....right place right time Hoping they might have some this year too
if you are buying new gloves get the Weise ones that have the Knox palm pads in, they save you from breaking shoulders and wrist if you have an off, not cheep but well worth the money, please check them out befor you buy any others
have to agree Kay - i had a pair i loved and they got knicked, not yet found another pair i love and feel godo to wear..... everytiem im anywhere sells gloves i try em on just incase i find a good pair again..
then if find pair fit good look on tinterweb see if can get cheaper or just buy em when you find em ..... it is indeedo like searching for the holy grail when you got little female hands as most are mens in shops also or ladies are all too thin coz are made for pilly grrr
good luck
What suits is indeed only known until you try them on. Though my original question is regarding certain makes of gloves. That folks may of bought that were of good qauility and gave longevity that they can recomend. As some well known brands may not be as good as they hype may suggest... I've tried many so called high end gloves in shops and thought the grade of leather to be rubbish. I did find a company selling my beloved Alpinestars Sp1's and I bought them. Though they did not turn up in the post and the company claimed there were delivered but could not prove it. So only just got my money refunded. Think I will trawl the net once again and find a stockest that might still have new old stock.
I have biggeer / thicker hands so getting a glove that doesnt feel to tight without having to go to a bigger size that is alittle loose.My sp--1's are X -large and were always slightly tight, they took some breaking in but i love the fit now and the build grade of leather is good. BUt I will check out Weise Bill , they sound my kind of glove. Thanks
I've been using Alpinestar Octane gloves for the last couple of years, comfortable and well vented for summer use. Have you been to Bikersworld in Coleshill??
