I really like my Simpson Circuit gloves. Lots of grip, comfortable, flexible, not bulky.

I use Crows, kinda bulky, but you get used to them. Simpsons that I had ripped easily.

Impact racing gloves. I have to say they are the most comfortable glove i have worn.

Are they pretty durable? I had the simpson pro series 3 and they got destroyed quick, like super thin. The crows are very durable, so are the taylor gloves.

thanks for all the advice fellas, still on the fence though i dont have a lot of loot to spend, but i dont want to skimp here. i did on the rci's. they work but they are very slick. for lack of knowing what they are actually made of you would think they were made ov vinyl he hee.

Sparco bottom of the line Speed that I have for auto-x'ing. About $50 a pair. It's all nomex. The palms aren't sueded, but they grip just fine. They're form fitting and not bulky at all.

I have simpsons and Sparco reverse stitch ones. The Sparcos are like wearing a nice nitrile golve, you can't even feel them and it's great.

However...they do not carry an SFI tag. (As of 3 years ago when I bought them) They would be on par with their new X-pro and the Tide (which is SFI)

The simpsons are...ehhh...but they work for now lol
