I have a link up for the Scorpion EXO coolhand gloves in the "riding gear" section on here. They seem to be great gloves, proved good grip, sensitive in the fingers, and have stretch panels in the knuckles. here's a link to them: http://shopping.scorpionusa.com/C55D...C88A06AF553D61

Those scorpion gloves don't look l.i.k.e. they'd hold up w.e.l.l. in a crash.

Try the GP Pro or the GP Plus from Alpinestars. Get longer gloves. More protective.

around town (ie. slow, bebopping, stop n go traffic) a short glove is ok, if you ride thru the mtns at any speed you'll wish you had long gloves if sumtin every happens. Trust me
