I am looking for some new gloves, mine are starting to get some wear to them in the fingers, but The honda dealer didnt have any I liked or for the prices anyways....

I was looking at the Icon Merc gloves, just wondering if anybody has these and how they have held up? The dealer here didnt carry any icon gear they only ordered it...well other then icon jackets...but I already have one

The gloves I have now are only 2 years old, they seem to have worn fast IMO, I have only put about 10k miles in the 2 years so was looking for something better, and I know icon makes some good gear.

I got Alpine Star GP tech gloves and I love them. They broke in well and offer excellent protection

Love my Racer gloves. Expensive. But will last more than 2 years. So, in the end they probably don't add up to being that expensive when they last so long.

Nice! I have the GP tech gloves too. Overwhelming protection though. Nonetheless, it's still awesome.

What's your budget on new gloves? I could recommend some nice ones.

I have the short verison of the merc gloves. I love them. Had them since oct. They were good through the winter and good for the heat thus far. Holding up very well.
I recommend them and will get another pair.

I was looking at the Astar GP gloves, but cant lay down $200 on a pair of gloves right now.

Those shift gloves look awsome Nauree, I have looked for them but cant find them? where did you get those?

Playfulgod I was looking at those gloves also, motorcycle superstore had them for $55

I was looking to spend about $100 on gloves, I am still leaning towards the team merc gloves

SpiritRR -> RE: Gloves (4/27/2008 10:50:04 AM)

Excellent gloves for the money, '08 Alpinestars SP-1, carbon fiber, dual-close gauntlet, wrist strap, and super comfy. The best part is when I move my hand up and down or just the fingers, the whole glove doesn't have to stretch to accomodate--there's neat little accordion panels in the stitching. Looks great, too, other than there's no all-black style: what you see as white is the same on all three colors, red, blue, black. They're $119.95.

^ I had the 07 model of the SP1's and I liked them, but they didn't fit me that well. If you were to get the SP1's, you could always save yourself like $40-50 and get the 07 instead of the 08. Not that big of a difference

Why do people seem to like the long gloves better than the short? My jacket actually covers part of my glove so I dont see how they could protect any better, is it just a personal preference? I dunno just seems like it would be a pain to get the long gloves on...

in a riding position your jacket shouldnt be covering the gloves. And in the event of a crash the jacket sleeves could ride up n expose your wrist. Why ya think racers wear long gloves? It just provides better protection and in cold temps it keeps the cold air from going up your sleeve.
