Gloves

I'm looking for a different pair of gloves.
With good palm padding and all season or nearly all seasons.

What do y'all wear?

Aerostich Elkskin Roper gloves

http://www.aerostich.com/catalog/US/Aerostich-Elkskin-Roper-p-16818.html

Worn em for a good 10,000 miles now and still going strong.

Even used them for working around my parents' farm once or twice.  High quality stitching and thick leather, with a visor squeegee on the left thumb.

Just remember to get the black ones...  I got the "natural color" ones expecting brown, and they were yellow  :-\

Oh well, with all my oil leaks they're black enough now  :D

I used to have a pair of Icon Hooligans, they were great.  I also had until recently, a pair of nice Joe Rocket gauntlet style gloves with carbon fiber knuckles and leather palms.  they were great til I crashed the CB with them, and ripped one to shreds.

not sure what I'll own next though.

 How well did they do their job for your hands?

Geoff, I met James May a few years back when we were both competing in the Thundersprint.
I asked him who this Stig thought he was impersonating me.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
He wouldn't let on who he was though >:( >:( >:( I had the last laugh though when a young lad asked me for my autograph then walked away leaving James looking a bit pissed off. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Looked at the Icons.

I like the ARC, says they have a gel insert in the palms.
The reviews on site leave something to be desired. I'd like
to know how these feel after about 6 hours.

Most people would say these are no riding gloves... but they work pretty good for me and can be found at your local Autozone...  Mechanix gloves.  Good grip, lightweight...

X2, and you can get them with padding/protection for the palm and knuckle area
