What are you using them for? Answers depend on that.

I use them for street, but prefer the protection of a race style glove. I can't fuck with my hands, I am a electrician and they are what make me money. And the way I see it, in a fall you automatically try to stick out your hands to protect yourself.

Held Titans or Heroics are the only things I trust my hands in currently for road racing. They're too restrictive for sumo unfortunately.

Racer Gloves. I can get you a small discount on a pair if interested.

I have these and the R-Safe. The high racer glove is fantastic. I use them on the street and at warm track days. They flow a ton of air and have great feeling. You are welcome to come take a look at the last lrrs weekend. I'm Mike #772 under the BT1R banner.

I had a pair of Held Evo Thrux that I wore for 15000 miles until it finally wore a hole in the thumb. My thumb and index would rub when I gripped the bars. I don't know about their higher tier gloves but i went through 3 pairs before I found a pair where the stitching wasn't coming apart. Glad i bought locally which made it easy to exchange.

In the end of last season I picked up a pair of Alpinestars GP Plus gauntlets and this year I picked up a pair of Alpinestars SP-1 short gloves. Sure, they're not as nice as Helds since they are all cow instead of kangaroo palms but I adjusted to them quick. I really like them now. The Sp-1 is particularly nice because they are more convenient for street riding but still protect the bone in my wrist and have hard palm sliders. Only thing I would improve on it is a more robust Velcro system but I think it would hold up if I went down

These look very nice! Gonna have to look at these a bit closer.

[csmutty]

I can't say how good they are yet but my next pair will be racer gloves after seeing them this weekend.

[golden chicken]

What's the fit like on those racer gloves? Euro or American cut?

[theducman]

More American I would say. I use a xxl in alpinestars, I'm a xl in racer or size 11 in other brands.

I have Knox Handroids that I've had for 3 or 4 years and love them. I like them so much i bought a second pair that are stored away for when these finally call it quits and i dont see that happening soon.

I'm in a similar boat, and faced this decision before the riding season began. To me, the $ difference between a decent, good value pair of gauntlet gloves and some of the best you could buy was maybe $100-150, not inconsiderable, but as you say, they're your hands...so I bit the bullet and got a really good pair. I ended up with the Dainese full-metal RS, and love them - they fit "like a glove", haha. I've since tried out some of the Held gauntlets and they seem pretty great, I'd seriously consider them as well.

Gear does get expensive, but the two things where I just ponied up were my helmet and gloves.

Knox Handroids here also !
They run small on sizing. Make sure you can exchange if needed.

[PeaPod]

I personally look for a glove with hard palm and scaphoid sliders, because as you said the first thing you throw out is your hands.

[theducman]

Racer Gloves have Knox sliders on the Palm.

I bought a pair of the Racer R-Safe after reading reviews on both the R-Safe and High Speed on webbikeworld.com. They haven't steered me wrong yet in gear reviews.

I'm extremely happy with the gloves. They run about a half size small from their size chart, but loosen up with use. I filled mine with water and wore them for a couple of hours and the broke in very nicely, gaining back that half size (as they say on their site).

I was also happy with the Heroic SP-R gloves that I had for a few seasons.
