Race glove suggestions

[Ken C]

I've been using Held's Profi glove for about 7 years and they've been great, But, from many hours of use, I now have a small hole in the finger (no, not the middle finger ).

I'd replace them with another pair, but at $180.00, I thought I'd consider alternatives and ask you folks what you use. I have a small hand with long fingers, so fit can be a problem. Suggestions?

I've got a pair of Alpinestars GP Pro's in medium you're more than welcome to try on.... the fingers are a touch too long for me, but i can still feel everything fine... they might be a good fit for ya.

I think i paid 160?

[Ken C]

I'll take you up on it sometime.

Bestest gloves you will ever get your hands into. Tested many times and still outperforming.

Many models around +/- $140ish +NESR discount. I still need to update my gloves. Wanted to do it at the classic for 20% off, just never got back to her.

I tried on the Motophoria gloves that Deb had at the track. She even was willing to let me try them out on the track (special people need only apply) (thanks anyhow, Deb). But the armored/vented knuckles were too hard on my delicate digits, so I passed.

held galaxy's there expensive but they'll last.

i think i'm going on my 5th season with the same pair.

i wore a hole through the palm of a pair of Alpinestars GP Pro's in one season (they never saw the ground) as i recall it was my right hand.

Ken, if I catch you in the next week or two, you can try on my A* GP-Plus's. I wear them in a medium, as I have fairly small hands as well.

I bought them online using this sizing chart, and they fit me perfect.

For reference, from the crotch of my palm/thumb to the widest part of my palm is 4.5", and from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger is 7".

I'm impressed with spidi gloves for the money.

[Ken C]

I'd love to try your gloves and Paul's too.

[OreoGaborio]

Yeah, this is starting to turn

I picked up a pair of MotoGP race gloves at Plaistow Powersports that seem to do the trick ... the armor and fit is phenominal

Held never did anything for me, I put them on and then tried the MotoGP one after the other and the fit is much better with the MotoGP. Overall, I am quite impressed with the quality and fit of their stuff.

Im with you on the galaxy's but I think they are going to be a bit hard to find now since they are discontinued for the Phantoms which I understand are very very nice but also very expensive at about 250 a pair if I remember correctly.

I know what you mean. I think I tried the same gloves. I am such a mental rider, any little thing that puts me out of my comfort; I tend to concentrate on that aspect.

I thought the same about a couple gloves that I tried on. She had a different style that is same as my old ones and presto. They fit without any issues.
