Title: Glove recommendations?
Post by: ManOrAstro-Man? on September 19, 2012, 01:26:30 AM
Hey everyone,

I'm in the market for a new pair of gloves. Considering the Dainese 4-Stroke gloves, but then saw these:

http://store.ducatiusa.com/products/productdetail/Ducati+Runner+Gloves+-+Red/part_number=98101030/1776.0.1.1.9409.29208.0.0.0?pp=80&sort_selection=price_low_high& (http://store.ducatiusa.com/products/productdetail/Ducati+Runner+Gloves+-+Red/part_number=98101030/1776.0.1.1.9409.29208.0.0.0?pp=80&sort_selection=price_low_high&)

Does anyone has any experience with either glove? Does Dainese make these Ducati Runner gloves? Or anyone have any gloves that they would recommend?

Thanks.

Dainese makes the bulk of the Ducati branded gear. The only thing they didn't make AFAIK was a Multistrada oriented jacket that Rev'It made.

Looks like a good deal at that price. Not as protective as some stuff on the market - but that stuff is also probably more expensive too.

As far as recommendations, what are your criteria? There's 11ty billion gloves on the market.

Thanks slide. I'm just looking to upgrade to a good pair of gloves. I was looking at the Dainese 4-Stroke and that looked like a quality pair of gloves. Just wondering what other's opinions on gloves are, or what others are wearing. I'm guessing that most of you guys have good gloves. Also, it is better to get the full gauntlet? Does that provide more protection? I kind of like the shorter gloves, but if I ever want to go on the track, I'd need the full gloves.

As you might figure, loger gloves will provide more protection. Short gloves protect the hand, but longer ones also protect the wrist too.

That looks exactly the same knuckle armor as my REV'IT Curb Gloves, Which are very nice for 30 less allbeit they are short.

The DAINESE 4-Stroke Gloves (http://motowheels.com/i-6920876-dainese-4-stroke-gloves.html) are one of our most popular gloves.
I wear short gloves in the summer so I can get some air circulation up the sleeves. When it gets cold, I prefer the long gloves.

The "DAINESE 4-Stroke Gloves" are built like the lower portion of the top of the line DAINESE Full Metal Pro Gloves (http://motowheels.com/i-6920870-dainese-full-metal-pro-gloves.html).

These gloves are very durable, fit well and provide a lot of protection.
