The bike glove is the absolute bare minimum protection, esp the palm and side of hand if contact on road. even for a simple bike drop yr palm will go down first. And denim jeans is not sufficient protection, its abrasive test is 1 second i.e. there will be a big hole after touching tarmac for 1 second. Basic protection for any rider even moped or scooter is riding gloves, elbow pads, denim jacket, knee & hip pads, boots. Better protection is FF helmet, armour gloves, armour jacket, touring pants, riding boots. Take care !

You'll be pleased to know that Ah Boy do sell budget gloves with good-enough abrasion protection.

 

(Of course, the best and higher-priced gloves offers the most protection)

Have bad experience to ride without gloves.

Got 2 "Big" hole on the palm, take months to heal.

Human reaction, use hand to defence ourself.

I wear it when it is not raining ... becos mine is those touring glove ... so no water proofing type ... when wet... it's worst to wear glove...

 

At first it's hard to adjust to wearing glove to ride... hands feel tired after awhile ... but once the glove is seasoned .. it's better ... to me when I wear glove... I feel extra safer ... .. kinda phychological maybe ...

[Guest stages]

is good to wear... protection wise.....

[NL27]

by looking at the poll, most of us wear glove while riding but whenever im riidng on the road, i didnt see any bikers wearing gloves . worst ! they wear only shorts singlets & slippers. Tho they are not riding sportbikes. i feel totally no sercurity. btw my gloves is fox brand, don really have knukles protection as those wif knukles protection exceeded my budget:sian: is fox brand gloves suitable for road riding? or only for jungle trail of bicycle?

Most of the bikers in SIngapore doesn't have the habit to wear gloves during riding. I really don't understand why they feel 'troublesome' or 'lazy' to just wear a pair of gloves? It is part of our protection gear. Compare with oversea countries, more than 70% of riders wearing gloves while they ride on their bide. Without a pair of 'gloves', can you call yourself a 'safty' rider? Think about it, it is for your own good.

[ozone555]

yes .. i do wear glove.. but it not those ridin type... it my fishing glove when i go oversea for fishing .. i also can used back...hahas... soft leather on the plam n fingers....

I use glove so that even after accident i can still bath. I hate the feeling of the pain on the palm and when you soap yourself.... Ouch............

[crazydj]

I wear cheap gloves from Balong Motor. With a P0ser "46" sewn on it. But damn comfortable. Problem is, they do not last long. At all. I use the gloves everyday and i really need a higher quality one. You guys got any recommendations for a gloves that can last that cost below $20?

 

Even raining, i must wear gloves. Because rainwater hitting your hand at such speeds will really hurt your fingers like hell. I must wear gloves when raining. MUST.

[steve0hh]
