[] So i was curious if anyone else out there is as adamant about their gloves as i am? I love the icon tarmac v2.0. what kind of gloves do you wear?

 

adam...ant well, I suppose. I do love my Alpinestars, and this is a Honda forum, so, here ya go:

And here's the 08 SP-1 pair that keep me safe:

 

No offense ment but I wont buy anything Icon ever again, i'v seen countless people go down in their jackets and helmets and their gear just doesn't hold up. They are the most Poser gear I can think of, they are all about Looks first and protection second.

 

[&:] I just like the gloves

 

GP TECH BABY!

 

the gloves I guess arn't too bad but i'v seen bran new helmets out of the box have pieces fall off of them. and I saw one shatter on a 10mph crash =\

i'v been thinking for the money Dainese and Sidi is the way i'm going to go I have seen so many people at track days go down or had gone down with them on and the things hold up so well.

 

Don't get me started on gloves, to-late, Lost a tailored pair of winter gloves, that I've had for 25 years (didn't zip up my Ventura bag properly & got blown out on the road) Gloves, silk balaclava & scarf now laying on the side of the road some wheres. Wouldn't you know it, The guy that made them for me, selfishly & inconsiderately died a few years back.

 

That sucks, I know how well a custom pair of gloves feels on the road =\

 

Alpine SP2 are what I use right now but I'm thinking it's time for the SP1s

 

I ride a Tourer, so Alpinestars SP3 for me
