« on: July 17, 2013, 06:09:03 AM »
that cover wrist and more?

What do you wear?  I am sick of my short gloves velcro eating the lining of my jacket.

Lots out there.

I have a set that meets all my requirements.....

Short wrist area.

Leather on the palms an knuckle area, mesh on the rest.

Has a neat leather chamois insert on the index finger to wipe your visor if it rains.

I have been very happy with my RevIT summer gloves - had them for years - perforated leather, hard knuckle protection, good padding on the palm, keep your hands cool when its hot. For my large hands RevIt fits me best. I get XL. They are usually just a bit tight at first but do "break in" and afterwards are very comfortable.
