Not sure about you guys but I am very very picky when it comes to what gloves I wear... They have to have just the right feel, not too thick, not too thin, seams covered so they dont rub... I have needed a pair of gloves since we were in Reno last year but I wasn't going to drop 150.00 on a pair of gloves.. I was at cycle gear this week and while I was there I started looking at gloves, the pair that I have now have holes in the gauntlet and the padding on top of the fingers have long blown away... I know that I was desperately in need of a new pair so I started looking again.. The pair I have now and love are field sheer and I couldnt find any of them, I knew that for the track I had to have gauntlet style gloves and they provide better protection anyway.. The first pair I picked up, 200.00 for alpine stars... UGGGGG I almost choked... The second pair were ICON and they were 185.00 not much better... I kept looking and the sales guys kept coming over to help me, I just told them I was cheap and I would keep looking... after about 45 minutes of trying on gloves I saw a pair crammed back in the back of a row and I pulled them out, Frank Thomas gloves and they were perfect, great feel, not as important but they matched colors with the bike and my gear... I grabbed the price tag and was pleasantly suprised to see they were 49.97.... they have all the padding, carbon fiber armor and vents I need..
I looked and if you can believe it or not there wasn't another pair like it anywhere on the rack, the only pair this color or this style.. What are the odds of that... anyway I grabbed them and bought em and thought I would share with you the gloves that will protect my hands for the next 2 years or so....
