GLOVES ; This is in my opinion equipment / kit that is super important to make riding pleasurable . Gloves has to have huge shoulders to cope with all the criteria that they have to fill .
1 Need to offer lots of protection , palms , fingers , knuckles
2 have to be cool in summer
3 warm in winter
4 do the above and still be breathable
5 look great .
6 fit well ,
7 cover the gap between the jacket sleeve and wrist , not always a option , but nice to have .
I for one is on a constant quest for great gloves , About 2 years ago I bought a pair of KTM gloves , from pulling them onto my hand they just fitted well , was /still onm a quest for the holly grail winter glove . Wrote off my KTM gloves in a fall last year , and the 25 model was slightly changed and does not fit as well as the older model . so looking for a replacement .
I have ordered a couple pairs from Temo , purely on price , as one has to make a decision based on a photo , its not easy , ordered about 7 pairs now , 3 good 1 ok and the rest poor . School fees
.
Last pair arrived yesterday and just garbage , requested a refund . seems it was approved .
After my fall I went to look for a replacement pair , and as mentioned they had changed the glove , fingers just to tight even going bigger , not comfortable , bought another style , and they not bad but found that they not ventilated as well as the previous pair and after a ride my hands ere sweaty , this means I have to look for a replacement , my glove storage has so many pairs , adding more just feels wrong , but what does one do if the glove does no tick the box ? to good to chuck out but not great for use !
