it know it is not a big brand but i kind of like the olympia gloves there comfortable and not too thick and bulky so that you cant move your hands but thick enoughf to keep you hands from getting ripped up in a crash they make the up the arm and regular hand style witch is what i perfer i just hate feeling all constricted i know the others are safer and so on but comfort is aslo as important

Owned a few pair of Olympia gloves and they fell apart after 3 months on both pairs. No track at all, just the occasional street. They were great brand new but didn't last too long.

ya i hate freaking anything on my hands anyways and dude do you give your bike the freaking gorilla girp or what i know like 3 or more people that use those everyday, and they have lasted them a year or more

I`ve leather Gauntlet All year round for me, protect your hands n wrist better. Alpinestars GP Pro, not a bad glove but the stitching split on the right index finger on me, just through everyday use. Not good.

I wear Power Trip Grand National's and I love 'em. They are shorty style and comfy.

I choose protection over comfort. Best advice ever given to me "dress for the crash not for the ride". Remember that it just might save your life not just your ***. [sm=trust_me.gif]

LOL. Very Very true about saving your life but I do think that if you try on a few different items that its possible to be comfortable too. If your not feeling comfortable you are being distracted and movement can be restricted. My advice would be have good protection but try to find a decent comfort level as well. You dont want to be distracted when your attention is needed for other things.

No doubt but within reason.

Your Quote of "dress for the crash not for the ride" is a good one. I like it.
