The other day I saw a Ah Pek riding a phantom wearing a white cloth type gloves (those $1 gloves used in driving centres), don't know why he wears such useless glove.

 

He was wearing slippers and shorts too

 

Such people how to educate

Hey... at least tat ahpek still wear gloves leh... though its those type $1 gloves.

 

U ride on the road... n u will see many young bikers... wear slippers, short pants, Open face helmet n NOT EVEN TAT $1 GLOVES!

I only got the cheapo $18 "bell" gloves I bought from 219 shop a few yrs ago.

of cox.... can keep my hands soft and smooth... prevent the area betwwen the palm and fingers from having hard and rough skin developing due to throttle...

hahaha~

 

didnt noticed it.. but its true.. if u wear gloves.. ur hands wld be soft and smooth.. i used to have hard skin on my right hand in the past.. like the kind u developed if u do too much chin up..

 

btw.. i'm usin a pair of leather gloves from alpinestars.. good stuff.. have to admit i went for it cos of the brand name..

Have u considered the amount of protection it can offer?

Not bad la. At the palms got thick paddings. Means if i fall down still offer me protection than not wearing gloves at all.

Very good, please continue using gloves whenever you ride, although a full gloves is much better but at least you got a pair of leather gloves.

 

Please don't use those $1 cloth type gloves, they really are useless in a fall.

Correct, got gloves is better than no gloves.

 

I'll still suggest to u to get a pair of full gloves, cheap one won't cost u more than $20. If u can afford more, then get the best u think is value for money and offer maximum protection.

I understand how u feel, I used to ride my 10 yr old ah-pek bike with gloves + jacket + boots and ppl also laff at me. But those were the days where ppl are not use to seeing riders wearing more protective gear than the helmet.

Nowadays ppl are getting more used to seeing riders with jacket n gloves n boots.

 

But still, there are ppl who dun understand, and they usually are ignorant non-riders. So be it. In the event of an accident, they are not the one crying in pain, we are.

 

Just take it easy and do the right thing, search your feelings...

is it leather?

 

the knuckle guards are carbon fibre or pads?

[rhema83]

Motoworld sometimes has great deals on non-branded long leather gloves that have Keprotec and metal mesh knuckles and finger joint protection. I bought a pair for $35 last year and used it for track. It feels safe enough, and is definitely good for touring because of the ventilation.
