Im looking for a new pair of gloves. i use my teknic race gloves but i think there a little over kill for the street, Im likin the Icon Super duty gloves.. Anyone have them or can any one recommend a glove like the superduty (only wrist length leather. pretty good protection)

Thanks

 

Don't you WANT overkill with your gear? I'd rather have something that's really made to get ****ed up than something that might get worn out easily and leave my [hand] a big bloody streak on the road.

I love my Teknic gloves. They have taken some serious damage from high speeds and really have held up to it -- time for new ones, though.

 

i use reinforced dirt bike gloves they have all the protection on the top but thin on the palm! yes i thinked thicked leather on the palm might protect a little better but i need the feel! sometimes you just have to trade on thing for another. they are made by Thor. hope this helps! sean

 

Take it from someone who rides,stunts,races
and works in the industry.
DONT skimp on hand protection as it is the first
part of ya body ( most of the time ) to hit the deck!
Ive got Arlen Ness, Spyke and Spidi race gloves,
non of which are cheap,but the **** they have
been put through..and the are still in great condition!

Ya can replace gloves but i will be rooted if i'd be going
in for skin graphs man!!!

 

i just got a pair of the crazy *** knights of the round table icons about a month ago and i like them. i had to take the metal plate off of the knuckles..it dug in when i would 1 finger the clutch.
i had five thats right 5 pairs of joe rocket speedmasters. all of them the seams came out. i crashed a 12at like tem miles an hour and the whole side blew out. what if i was doin a hundred? the dealership i work at has more joe rocket **** brought back becase of shitty seams, zippers, etc...\
bottom line joe rocket sucks ***

 

i have a pair of teknic race gloves and i dumed my bike doing a 100 or so km the top of them got realy scuffed up and realy took a beating and held up if i hadda had cheap *** gloves the top of my hand and the bottom would be a scabby mess right now....
so teknic passed my test

 

lol im not trying to "skimp" on protection i was just looking for advice on non gauntlet type gloves i race too and i use my race gloves on the street i was asking of any one knew about the icon superduty or other non gauntlet type gloves for stunt riding, and how much protection they offered.

 

i just bought a set of
FirstGear Carbon Race Glove
at this place there about half price

3rd set down

 

I wear Alpine Star GP Plus gloves because they're the heaviest reasonably priced gloves I could find. Don't buy into that, "I wear MX gloves for the feel" stuff unless you want to "feel" your palms being ripped off on pavement. There's a real good example of this in the Whackpac video from a stoppie gone bad.
I think it's a reasonable guess that a lot of you guys work with your hands for a living. Don't let your hands get ground up when you could easily prevent that from happening with a good pair of gloves.

 

i ordered a pair of those alpine star gp plus gloves and sent them back, no **** they smelled like a skunk. everyone at my shop thought so too, so it wasn't just my imagination

 

i got a friend who hit grass and the joe rockets came apart ( pieces of sh*t ) i would like to hear more on the icon and other gloves every1 uses thanks

 

Only place to get gloves is www.deathrage.com drop a local New England Stunt groups name and you'll get hooked up!! You know the group Soumy!!! One letter one number!!
