Power Trip Abrams Army Gloves
« on: September 24, 2008, 10:44:47 PM »
I got these from New Enough a month or two ago to replace my JR light summer gloves.  I just happened to look and they still have them in every size for $15.  If you can get by the Army logo (or remove it which they say you can), these are REALLY nice.  Lots of protection by way of fairly thick plastic in strategic places.  They flow pretty well (it's been so cool here the last several weeks, I haven't tried them in super-hot weather).  And they are pretty comfortable.  An absolute killer bargain at fifteen bucks!  One word though - order your normal size and give them a couple days.  I almost returned them because they were so tight but the leather broke in really nicely and I wear them for around 100 miles almost every day.

They also have the Bravo which looks similar but with perfed leather instead of mesh.

When it gets too hot to wear my full length, armored gloves I use this brand of western ranch hand style

They are cheap and the light color will not absorb as much heat from the sun. Also, as they are made for ranchers so they bend nice for the bars as cowboys have similar needs for no bunching in the palm.
Sorry about the link saying "womens" but you can get them in men's sizes. Very comfortable and easy to peel off even on the hottest sweaty days.
 
No Army logo to remove either.  :thumb: but a bit less protection then the Power Trip Abrams
You can find them at hardware stores and farm supply places.
Once I thought I was wrong...but I was mistaken.

"""""Women's Manhandler Gloves"""""
What does that mean?
I wear that type of glove on my HD's and sometimes dragracing.
But I have to wear my Joe Rocket gloves around town on my Bandit because I live in a collage town and I am 50 years old. (with the helmet and the Joe Rocket Gloves on they don't know!)  :trustme:
