I picked up some new gloves to go with my Red Ranger suit.









I ordered the M size which fits like an Alpinestars M. Stitching is excellent and the venting works very well. The leather is nice and soft. Feels like butter.

 

looks nice price?

 

I heard those fly apart in the slightest wind
Thats why I have a set

 

With our without shipping from JDM land? :-p

Those look like some really quality gloves Jasper. I especially like the carbon weave on the heal on the palm. I know when I went down in my A* GP-Plus gloves, the part that took the worst beating were the knuckles, it mashed the plastic/CF up there pretty good, and went all the way through the leather on the heal of my palm. The 'Roo leather held up good though besides that one spot.

What type of leather are those? And whats the cost on those bitches? I need a new set if I want to get on a track next year.

 

The base material is cow leather with Schoeller®-Keprotec® patches and stitching in the abrasion areas. The venting is excellent though they do get a bit cold at night (I'm a wuss).

They cost $170US + shipping from Canada.

 

Thats actually a decent price. Info on how to purchase them? :D

And if you've had the experience, how do they fit in comparison with A*'s?

I know I had my GP+ in mediums and were pretty tight to begin with, but now that they've broken in are absolutely a joy to wear.

 

They fit a little bit tighter than the Medium A* GP Pro but I'm sure it will stretch out after a bit of time. I really like the fact that the fingers on these gloves are long enough. My fingers are pretty long (my girlfriend can confirm and some of the other gloves don't go all the way down to the webbing which is a bit uncomfortable.

I bought them from Modern Motorcycling in Vancouver (http://www.modernmotorcycling.com/acc-main.htm) Contact Aaron over there. He'll be more than happy to help. Tell him Duy (Dewey) in SoCal sent ya.

I received the gloves in a week via Canadian Post.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info Jasper!

 

Those look EXTREMELY similar to these gloves:

That I picked up for $45 plus shipping.

I'm sure yours are probably a bit better in build quality, etc, but I'd pick these gloves for $125 less anyday of the week. Plus, I wanted something that didn't breath well so it would keep my warm in the winter.
