Default Revzilla strikes again

Stopped at Revzilla at lunch to pick up a new face shield. While waiting for the woman to find the right shield I looked around a little. Left with the shield but something was nagging me the whole day. While gearing up to leave work, I figured out what it was:

Yuck

So I rode back over and grabbed these:

Dainese Guanto 4-Stroke Gloves

Cost $169. Noticed immediately they fit a lot better than the Icon Super Duty I have. Also have a lot more protection in the knuckles and palms. The Icons simply have a leather pad over the knuckles and barely any padding over the finger joints. The Guantos have stainless steel with CF covering in those locations. Thicker reinforced palm too. But they don't feel significantly heavier than the Icons.

I gotta get me a discount going ova there before I go broke

Yeah honestly those other ones don't look too bad. I've seen gloves people have wrecked in, and there are holes in the sides for their finger to poke out and the strap doesn't strap anymore. hahaha

Kuro is a Dainese ***** now....

I wish I was a baller... I need a sugar daddy.

Had to take the first pair back. They were a medium and while they felt fine in the store, they were too tight for me to properly grip the throttle. And while gripping the bars, the armor was in the wrong places.

So I went back and got a large...

Are those gauntlets? I can't tell based on the photos. If they're not, too much for my blood. If they are, then that's an okay price for the quality you get.
