Ceej...same gloves I have, and they are excellent!! Hard to believe something that will provide good feel will also keep you warm.  I also have their DeerTours for warm weather and they are also great gloves. Never leave home without them on my hands.  There's something about the deerskin that is just not like anything else. Yes, those gloves cost more, but I am willing to bet they'll be with us 10+ years from now, when we'd have gone through two or three pairs of lesser ones.  It's hard to make people understand the difference in Fox Creek leather...I don't know where they get their materials, but I've not seen or felt any other like it, no matter the price.

Are these usable in summer months, I had thought about getting them but thought that they would be just to warm for summer riding.

Thanks

I haven't had them in the summer to say for sure but I can't see them being too warm, they are not heavy at all or bulky. Granted they are Gauntlet gloves so not for all the time riding, but should it get cool, or wet, or night riding, I'd say they'd probably be fine. I will be looking into a set of deer skin non gauntlet for my summer rides - probably need to order that along with the chaps here shortly.

FLH...The Deertours I'm speaking of are the 70 bucks or so gloves, without gauntlets or any kind of insulation.  I wore mine from April through September and my hands never got hot.  When they sweated, the deerskin soaks it up and evaporates the moisture...gloves never get stiff, even after drying from rain.  Only deerskin will do that.  Highly recommended.

Thanks for that info TC - I will add them to my order - Yeah Deerskin is amazing!

Don't forget to ask Chippy for your CVO discount!!!!

Thanks for the info TC; those are the ones I was considering, which leads to another question: go with black and keep up the status quo biker image and tolerate ink stained hands following a ride in the rain or go with the tan that give the appearance that you ride your $30+K bike wearing $2 work gloves?  I did not mention the CVO discount recently when I ordered a jacket but when I inquired about it on an order a few months back no one there had ever heard of it.

FLH...I can't recall ever getting my hands stained by the DeerTours...must be their dyeing process.  I think I arranged the discount a few months ago, but can't remember when it was.  Check the Vendor Discounts thread...I think there's a post by me in there...

They gave me a 10% discount on the set
