Good gloves

Post by nmdesertrider »

Is there anywhere to get a good pair of leather mx gloves any more? I get only a couple of rides out of the pleather ones before they start falling apart- even the expensive ones.

moose sahara lasted longer than i expected, but i ride without gloves quite a bit
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

I bought a cheapy pair from the Chapparral parking lot sale for my wife to use, thats were Roosti got the PC pipe from me a while back.

I knew they weren't going to last long but figured my wife using them would last a few rides. After three or four rides hole were warn though.

So what were those? One race throw aways?
