OK, my Teknic's are getting too old. Any recommendations for some good gloves? Something around the $150 range.

Thanks!

I scored a pair of the Berik/MotoGP Nitrous gloves and I like them a lot. Protection in all the right places and great feel. Right in your price range.

I've used the same pair of Motophoria gloves for a few years now. Great protection and they come in extended sizes.

Lithium has very good prices on MotoGP Nitrous gloves rite now. I like the Helds a lot but I did just placed an orde for the MOTO GP to see how they are. Give Rob at Lithium a call1-800-894-7190 or www.Lithiummotorsports.com and leave an email. :thumb:

Vanson makes custom road race gloves. I've like the Technic's myself, but I'm real happy with my custom ones. I have long fingers, and getting gloves to fit is always an issue. Now, no problems.

Here's my favorite and what a deal - for about $5 you can get a 100 pack of rubber gloves...... Kinda like Duct Tape - they have a million uses..... :wtf:

I needed new gloves this year and happened to pick up the Komodo FX gloves in the forum wegman auction... VERY happy with the product.

Comfort, Feel, Wear, Venting... all A+

I used alpinestars GP-PRO gloves this last year. The only thing I don't really like is that it seems that they are sized goofy. The A* XL doesn't fit like everybody else's XL. It's a bit smaller.

I like that the fingers have external stitching as they are incredibly comfortable because of it. The only drawback is that the stitching is now exposed and subject to more abuse in a crash or through general use...

I have the Held Gloves. And think thier pretty good. I only have one issue with them. I seem to think that they have a tendency to split the stiches on the palm side in a crash. A few other guys have told me this too.

THe current pair i have has this (about 6 or so stitches gone) but they didnt get any worse in the one crash i had this year. ??

I've tried older technic and joe rocket gloves and feel the held are still better.

The Kobe Pro Racing gloves https://sitesecure.us/1888fastlap/store/customer/product.php?productid=16679&cat=266&page=1 (https://sitesecure.us/1888fastlap/store/customer/product.php?productid=16679&cat=266&page=1) are outtstanding!

Quite similar to the Held Galaxy in material, workmanship and features. No breaking in period is necessary with these gloves and they fit my huge paws wonderfully.

I can't give you a personal report on their crash worthiness though.
