My current full dianese glove (not sure type it says dianese s.p.a), the pinky leather has tore down (just wear and tear and not from accident).  This particular gloves doesn't have extra padding or gel etc.  just a simple full glove.

I want to replace with a decent full gloves.  Any recommendations?  Looking for good protection for everyday use and/or track or spirited twisty rides.

Thx

I have the Sport-Race gloves. They're fantastic, but do take some time to break in.

I think OP is asking for Dainese recommendations.  I too am looking to replace my current gloves, Alpinestars GP Tech, with a pair of Dainese gloves.  I don't have any FHE but I'm leaning towards the Steel Core.  As I'm sure you are already aware Revzilla.com has excellent video reviews to watch, decide, then ride :)

Ya, I wasn't sure.

Not sure why someone would rule out other brands though. It's not like Dainese gloves come with magic fairy dust that makes you faster and better looking. There are other gloves out there that are just as good (and some may say better).  [thumbsup] If I didn't wear Helimot gloves then I would have a pair of Held.

Prefer dianese coz it looks "fast" and of course the "magic fairy dust" is really what i am after.  Lol

Any feedback is appreciated but dianese is preferred for some reason.  Maybe coz I have a jkt from them and gloves :-)

The revzilla videos are great.  I wanted more feedback from fellow riders.  The VR6 looks good but man I would look like a douche fanboy.

If it's any help, as WINTER glove, I have been wearing these for nearly four years - thankfully never tested out the "protection" factor - but they seem to have hard stuff in most of the right places - and they are a. warm-as b. dry-as (Gortex is the duck's guts) c. durable-as. Can highly recommend them - even bought a pair for the better half for xmas....

..and...if we had actually HAD a summer this year, I was going to invest in a pair of these:

but found myself wearing the Jerico all 'summer'  [thumbsdown] - I'd appreciate any opinions on the Pro-carbon gloves if anyone has given them a spin...?

Defo go the Jerico Gortex for winter though - especially if you ride in the rain and sleet, as I do!  [thumbsup]

...the older I get the better I was...

I haven't tried the Jerico gloves as mentioned above, but I did wear the Scout Goretex all last winter.  I would ride home from work at 2 am in 35-40 Degree weather and my hands were still comfortable.

 All of my gear is Dainese except my gloves, which I wear size 3xl, Dainese goes to size 2xl  :(

So I chose Spidi gloves because like Dainese, Spidi gloves are beautifully crafted in a similar  Italian quality and design. Leather is butter soft and full of safety features!

I have these for everyday, around town stuff

And these, for twisties

My current gloves are a everyday/ weekend fun level. but would buy these next, which are a bit beefier for track days.

My gloves are old but are still in excellent condition because of the build quality , if I rode the track, I would definitely be sporting these,

I'm with TripleJ. 

I got Dainese jackets but I wear Helimot gloves.  I have the F108 and the H20.  They are made in Santa Clara USA and can be repaired by the folks at Helimot.  I also have a pair of Dainese gloves and used to wear Held, but I don't wear them since I got the Helimots.   

You may want to give them a try and see if they fit your hands.

Not sure I can find my correct size for the helimot.  Reviews look good but my local store "iron pony" doesn't carry it.  My current dianese is size L.

As far as I know no one carries Helimot except them. I ordered mine on-line from them. The fingers do tend to be slightly narrow, so if you have sausage fingers they may not work.

Full Metal Pros. I have 2 pairs, crashed in 1 pair a few times and they are doing just fine. All the protection and sliders do as they are designed. I love these gloves because I find most other "race gloves" super bulky and strange feeling. (I hate having my knuckles anywhere near my brake lever for instance...)

Anyways, that's my suggestion. When deciding whether I wanted another pair of FMPs or something more "street-oriented" like the 4-Stroke I finally decided that I'd like an equal amount of protection on the street considering all the jackasses in cages that almost murder you with 4,000 lbs projectiles every time you ride.

I also have a pair of full metal pros I picked up for $110.  Great pair of gloves, palm feels nice and thin.

So which helimot gloves do you recommend then for everyday riding and twisty ? Can't afford two gloves but trying to decide on one glove from helimot.
