French I think. They only make gloves, nothing else. Good reviews for them and they seem to have a loyal following.

I've taken the plunge and gone for the new model waterproof gloves from Five.

Race glove quality and tech but they're water proof

Its astonishing the number of riders I have seen recently wearing no gloves at all when out of their bike. It just beggars belief that anyone thinks that's a good idea.

To my mind with gloves more than any other, buy the very best you can afford. Having to have someone to wipe your arse for your for 6 months is not more idea of fun.

Five aren't cheap but like Duke says, you shouldn't mess around when it comes to getting kit.

They only make gloves, that's all they do. To me that means they have to get it right, unlike other companies who can get by with some products better than others

The ones I've bought are their latest winter glove. The old version gets rave reviews so I'm hoping I'll get my money out of them.

I got them from here:- http://www.motoblouz.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not the cheapest, but they are the cheapest ones with them in stock who can deliver this week. Moto-FC, who were cheaper, wanted me to pay first then they would order them.

I got 10% knocked off as well
