Need new gloves

[wreckwriter]

I thought I was all set with Joe Rocket Gpx 2 gloves but I tried to wear them with my new leather jacket and found that the gauntlets are too small to go over the sleeves and too big to go under them.

I need gloves with either a very large gauntlet or no gauntlet at all. Obviously want good protection. Touch screen would be a plus.

I live in Florida so don't need cold weather gloves. If it gets in the 40s watashi don't ride....

Thanks for any suggestions!

Very nice but awful pricey.

.....and here I was impressed that we have the same gloves....

I have a set of Joe Rocket summer shorties but never wear them as there is a gap between my jacket and the gloves that could possibly ride up if I come off the bike??

Hopefully that never happens.

Held gloves are good but are way overpriced. $200-$500 for gloves? I’ve always had good luck with Tourmaster/Cortech gauntlets. And I always wear gauntlets. Shorties will absolutely leave bear that space between the glove and the sleeve.

Yes, I also prefer gauntlets but the rockets are gauntlets but the gauntlet closures are not even close to big enough. I need something with a big closure

I got some. Went to the local Cycle Gear figuring they would have a good selection, and they did.

Spent about an hour trying on different gloves from a bunch of manufacturers. Most were either too long in the fingers or the cuff wouldn't go over my sleeves.

Finally found a pair that fit. Knox Handroid gloves. Weirdest looking gloves I've ever seen. I'll post pictures in a bit.

Thanks for the tips!

Let us know how well they breath in the heat.

WTH? Never heard of them and why are they so weird looking?

The boa straps seem cool. First time I’ve seen them on something other than cycling shoes

I loved my first pair of GP1 so much I got a second pair but those you got are some fancy looking gloves for sure! Lol!

 

[PhillipHarvey]

You can get any pair of gloves from any well known stores, they have quite best deals and variety too.

 

[wreckwriter]

These gloves have turned out to be excellent by the way. They broke in very easily. I highly recommend them.

Pretty well, surprisingly
