What kind of motorcycle leather gloves should I get?

What kind of motorcycle leather gloves should I get?



I had in mind, Alpinestars SP-X Red/White Leather Gloves, but I do not know if those are okay for street/freeway biking.



And NO! I am not dirt biking.



What leather gloves for a motorcycle do you recommend?



Give me a list. ThanksWhat kind of motorcycle leather gloves should I get?
The SP-X have short cuffs, that area between jacket or leathers and glove will be vulnerable in case of an accident, I would prefer the SP-2 or SP-1 (which I have an older equivalent of) with the longer cuff that fits snugly over my leather jacket and inside the sleeve of my textile jacket. They are showing their age after 5 years but the stitching is still in place and the knuckle protection is scratched but not loose or damaged 鈥?they were never waterproof though and do get a bit stinky after a sweaty day's riding.
My son found a really good deal. Instead of buying overpriced gloves from the local cycle shop he buys mechanics gloves. The ones with knuckle protection



They are cheaper - lighter - more flexible and offer better grip than motorcycle gloves. And they also come in a wide assortment of colours and palm grip styles. They also have velcro wristbands that keep the wind out.



I have tried them myself and they are a worlds apart from the $95.00 gloves that I purchased from the dealer. I believe he paid about $16.00 and got a far superior glove.What kind of motorcycle leather gloves should I get?
They are fine.

What is best is very subjective...like what kind of motorcycle should I buy ?



I like tourmaster myself.
there are many high quality synthetic material gloves that perform much better than leather, and you should be against wearing anything in leather because the evil white man killed a helpless animal to produce that leatherWhat kind of motorcycle leather gloves should I get?
Get the ones that fit. Color and style are personal preference.
