Title: 19000 miles and 2.5 years later my gloves have died!
Post by: Mountainman streetbob on August 30, 2013, 02:56:11 PM: Does anyone have any suggestions for a well built, non lined, all leather pair of gloves for 55* and up weather? I just had my favorite set ever fall apart... Open to suggestions. Thanks Brice. :nixweiss:

7 years of wear and still going strong, but they ain't cheap: http://www.foxcreekleather.com/products/127-deertours-motorcycle-gloves

Won't get stiff after being wet; seams won't bother you; they won't come off if you go down; extra leather in critical areas.

I also have the PCI gloves which are for winter use and made especially for heated grips. They weren't cheap either.

I'd buy another pair today if something happened to the ones I own.

Post by: CVODON on August 31, 2013, 09:35:53 PM: Held, come in hand sizes, last forever and have best protection possible for a summer glove.

What's the big deal?
