Best summer glove

I have been riding every day and my current gloves are really beginning to give
me the shits. Way too hot and no ventilation. I've tried some Rocket ones
with vents in the back and some other perforated leather jobbies but still
haven't found any that give me a decent level of protection and keep my hands
cool. Any recommendations from the world of aus.moto?

 

Yesterday, at PITS, a mate was showing me his new summer gloves, made of
kevlar. Apparently, when he bought a pair of Draggin pants at the M/C
show, they gave him these gloves.

They just look like a pair of knitted woolen gloves, but he thought they
were very cool and comfy.

No, he hasn't tested them.....

Sounds good. But I am guessing no knuckle protection. Then again if it keeps
the skin in one place that is half the battle. I'll check and see if I can
find them on the web.

Just browse the motorcycle accessories section at every shop you go past
till you find a pair which have some ventilation (usually in the form of
open weave stretchy material) between the fingers.

weather.................

Most of us don't drag our knuckles on the ground. Not even when we fall off.

Thanks for the link. They look perfect. Now the big question. How much?

Fraser

 

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm becoming a big fan of DriRider stuff. I'll
check em out.

As the old saying goes, if you ask how much BMW gear is, you probably
can't afford it. :-(

About $100

That's not too bad at all. That vented helmet looks pretty crazy. I wonder
how much protection it gives?

I have been using a BMW Airflow Helmet for a few years, a really great
concept that keeps the head cooler in plus 30 degree summers in Queensland.
Imported directly from Germany.

I could live with that. Now where's my nearest BM shop?

Theo

 

On stinkin' hot days I wear the kevlar gloves that Draggin Jeans makes

 

Looks great but missing the all important little sticker?

Fraser

 

Burswood probably? You're in the hills aren't you Theo?

Fraser

 

My Arai (Doohan) has no sticker nor does my Arai XD (purchased from USA).

Whilst the cops can book you for a non-complying helmet they are usually
fixated on the reading of the radar gun when I am chatting to them.

Yup. Oot there in them thar hills.

Where they sell their cars? I'd be tempted to go out there in the son's
Merc.
