In the market for a pair of new summer gloves, my fingers are showing through my old SP1's  lol   .... Any ideas what to go for?                                                                                                                                                                             

  Ones with fingers in?     soz, I couldn't resist                                                                                                                                                                             

I'm using a pair of Furygans, short cuff, lightweight, ventilated, supple and with knuckle guards, I like them better than the BMW GS gloves I'd been using for 4 years. Don't know model name.                                                                                                                                                                              

I broguht a pair of bufflo summer gloves off ebay for naff all this year thought they would only last a few months but they have been great the ventalation is great and yet you still get good protection. .     http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Buffalo-Racetex-2-Leather-Tex...2c604e04d9                                                                                                                                                                             

  Whilst we are on the subject of gloves   Check out this item on eBay, Item number: 220863598981   Just put the "number" in the search box   I bought a pair a few weeks back at £10.39 and thought they were a bargain   They are now reduced to £7.79   So I've ordered another pair   They are available in all sizes from XS to XL   The quality is very good in my opinion, especially for the price   No armour on them but that isn't everyones 1st priority   But good warm comfortable gloves are always welcome on a bike

KC    why dont you just buy 4 odd coloured gloves  then switch them around randomly in the dark so it'll be a surprise as to the colour you have on when the light is turned on ???   or should i eat less blue smarties    ?

What suits is indeed only known until you try them on. Though my original question is regarding certain makes of gloves. That folks may of bought that were of good qauility and gave longevity that they can recomend. As some well known brands may not be as good as they hype may suggest...  I've tried many so called high end gloves in shops and thought the grade of leather to be rubbish. I did find a company selling my beloved Alpinestars Sp1's and I bought them. Though they did not turn up in the post and the company claimed there were delivered but could not prove it. So only just got my money refunded. Think I will trawl the net once again and find a stockest that might still have new old stock.

 Had mine about  year VR and still look like new cost around 60 quid.

 I find that that although my hands are not big i still have to get a large size in gloves to be comfortable
                                                                                                                                                                             

I have biggeer / thicker hands so getting a glove that doesnt feel to tight without having to go to a bigger size that is alittle loose.My sp--1's are X -large and were always slightly tight, they took some breaking in but i love the fit now and the build grade of leather is good. BUt I will check out Weise Bill , they sound my kind of glove. Thanks

I've been using Alpinestar Octane gloves for the last couple of years, comfortable and well vented for summer use. Have you been to Bikersworld in Coleshill??                                                                                                                                                                             

is that just off m42 bluey
