good gloves will make or break ya I have goofy shaped hands IMO, wide at the palm but with semi-stubby fingers... hard to find stuff that fits me 100% and is also fairly cheap I have leathers with armor (made by ProBiker, found on eBay) for the rainy season, and Cortech textiles for everything else... The Cortechs I love because the fingers are slightly stretchy, so they fit my hand much better. I can actually text when I've dismounted, before even removing my gloves lol... But gotta have that other pair that're weatherproof, cuz I ride 24/7/365, rain or shine baby
