RE: Riding Gloves
When buying a glove, some features to look for are (regardless of brand):
1. solid leather palm. If you have seams on your palm, they will rip apart in a crash.
2. Inside-out stitching. seams on the outside of the glove are much more comfy than seams on the inside!
3. Pre-curved fingers. These will keep you fingers from premature fatigue.
4. gauntlet-style wrist. This will keep your wrist and forearms from getting rashed if your jacket sleeves hike up in a crash.

RE: Riding Gloves
The place I see gloves rip apart is up the ouside from the wrist up the outside of thepink finger. So I always look for reinforment there. Pading over the wrist bones is nice too.
I've seen a lot ofAlpinestar GP Tech and $100+ AGV's with hardly a scratch, but justripped open in more than one place....thats just not acceptable.
Split knuckle armour is the new trend. My Violators havea one piece kevlar/carbon armour piece ontop, and it bruised my hand in a down...(certainly better than the alternative though)...the newer designs use a molded plastic or its two idividual sections of carbon/kevlar.
Nothing is more worthless than a shorty mesh glove....not as bad as the fingerless/knuckless gloves that you see harleyguys wear though.Don't get a mesh glove period....you slidein a down and the nylon will melt (as it wears through) and meld itself into your wound....not pleasant....ask a friend of mine.

RE: Riding Gloves
I got my MotoGP Nitrous gloves from Motomummy.com ... $74 shipped to my door. They are very nice...great build quality and materials...excellent saftey features, good wrist flexibility. But they run small....not so muchin finger length, but finger/hand girth... If you teater between two sizes as I do, go with the bigger one....if you are always a large, I'd get an XL.
