Default Gloves

Ok, I know this is stupid but I need some opinions on gloves. The gloves Ive been using are my dirtbike gloves and they offer no protection what so ever. I do like them because I can grip and feel EVERYTHING. And they keep my hands cool in the summer. Just looking for some personal opinions on price, durability, feel, and so on... Thanks

I generally stick with alpinestars gloves, which exact pair is just personal preference

I've always used joe rocket, I would say the only real qualifier is badass leather, stay away from the gellies.

joe rocket....mine are leather with carbon fiber over the nuckles and reinforced padding throughout on palms and fingers...they are great for feeling everything as to being not too bulky, but are very reliable if you go down. I crashed wearing these and they held up so nicely i still use them (stitching on side of right glove is worn)

i just bought a set of rockets for the winter also

I have a pair of the alpinestars S-MX air-carbon gloves and the left palm is ripping. I've had them for about 8 months, i hoped they would last longer than that. Other than that the gloves rocked. Ill probably replace with somefull leather gloves though.

$70
I'd just go to a moto shop and try on several pair and see what feels the best, just make sure they have some protection
