Jordan "The One" glove (made by Joe Rocket). Really like them...unless it is cold, then they are to light.

I've got some A-starts, not sure which model, short wrist, carbon fiber over the knuckles, good protection, nice and cool, great feel, and for the winter, tourmaster cold-front carbons. Looks like a motogp race glove but a little thicker with gortex, water-proof and super warm, not too bulky, still have a good feel, but keep you warm and dry.....can't have you cake and eat it to I guess when it comes to winter gloves.

oh god not joe rocket

my first set of "good" riding gloves was joe rocket, had a very light crash where my palm scraped the ground a very little and the whole palm of the glove ripped out (and I mean ripped COMPLETELY OUT)
I don't even think the other hand even touched the ground but somehow half of the stitching came out in two of the fingers
i swear they use cheap *** leather and even crappier stitching in everything they make, breathe hard on that stuff and it falls apart
absolute CRAP! the alpinestars gloves i've replaced those with (granted they are a good bit more expensive) have been through 2 heavy duty crashes (they got plenty of pavement scraping time) and they are still as good as new, they look scuffed up but all the stitching and leather is still in good condition

I will NEVER buy anything Joe Rocket again, PERIOD
thats all i got to say

I use AlpineStars Octane Gloves. They are great in the summer and winter. They have the hard plastic over the knucles too. Just my preference.

Good man.

I gots these but they cost 3 bills (more than most peoples jackets). http://dainese.com/eng/zoom.asp?arti...=1,2,3,7&zm=UF I hate the gauntlets for daily riding though. Look for some short gloves and you will be much happier.

I'm using Richa Magma gloves. Those have a good protection and those are coolest gloves I have tried.
