Summer gloves

Post by Perkles »

My richa gloves wrist strap broke today and I noticed some of the stitching is coming undone on both gloves ,I don't fancy a crash in them as they look like they wouldn't offer much protection (sweat)
Any recommendations on a summer glove ? my budget is £100 max I used to like my alpine stars ones I had years ago

There over budget if you pay full price but I got the held phantom from Getgeared for £99 on a promotion and they are the best gloves I have ever owned including the £280 Dainese full Metal Racer which I didn't really rate so sold.

Try Getgeared as they are a first class company to deal with and always have promotions on. If the phantoms are out of budget I would still recommend trying to get something else from the held range of gloves as they really are the best in the market imo. I think they won the rider product test too, plus some German mags highly recommend. Held are a very much underated brand in the UK but starting to gain popularity as people become aware of then through tests and reviews.

I've got A-Stars SP2's, good price and I've crash tested two pairs so far. I'll buy them again. I'd say they saved me a good hand injury last crash, the knuckles on the LH had been ground down, and if it hadn't been the carbon there it would've been messy.

If you want gloves that keep your hands cool , i can recommend the short Rev-It Chevron gloves. Top quality and excellent fit and plenty of air flowing through them.

+1 on the Hein Gericke gloves. Very comfortable, excellent quality, really well put together. I've had 2 pairs in 12 years.

The knox gloves get rave reviews and I heard alot of racers were buying them with there own money instead of using a sponsors glove which has got to speak volumes.

I've got a pair of Biomechs. Love them! Really secure and I've read their customer service is really good. I low sided and barely scuffed them.
