    I'm looking for some decent sport oriented gloves. I've got a good lightweight pair of sport tourers, but they lack much in the way of knuckle or finger armor. And I've got a heavier winter pair of FrankThomas goretex that are okay, although they're almost like trying to ride in oven mitts--not much throttle or lever feel. I'm looking for some decent armored gloves that won't cost me a fortune...any suggestions? :)

    Replying to my own post (again), I found some Joe Rocket gloves with armored (plastic, not carbon fbr) knuckles, double-leather protected fingers, wrist armor, and good wrist and forearm closures that are very well-made, very comfortable--price? $99...
    for everything else, there's Fastercharge.. Ride safe. ;D

    I have found this brand called Zero-60. They have all kinds of riding gear and I espically like their gloves. I recently purchased the "Tika" gloves. Sadly I had to lay down my 1978 Yamaha XS750 (I hate mini-van moms) and those gloves saved my hands. Check them out at www.zero60.com.
