19000 miles and 2.5 years later my gloves have died!
« 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:

I bought a pair of fingerless glove in 2005 and I still wear the same pair.  They are HD brand, fairly thick, hate the thought of ever having to replace them!

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.

I think the problem is only 19k miles in two and a half years.  You should have at least that in one year....it's called lack of use rot!    ;)

Held gloves will last you another 19 years. Not cheap (the kangaroo leather ones)  but the best gloves I have ever worn!

Held, come in hand sizes, last forever and have best protection possible for a summer glove.

Buy a new set?

What's the big deal?
