I've had a pair of these gloves for over a year now. I ride year round down to 25F and of course up into the 90s here in Jersey. It's the only pair I need. They are super comfy and do a reasonable job of distributing the heat from the heated grips. There's a good review of them on webbike (attached below as well). They are rugged and have held up extremely well over the past 10,000 miles. The downside is the price, of course, but if you have a big birthday coming up these might be a nice present.

I've had a pair of Lee Parks deerskin gloves since 2004. They were great. Super comfy and useful in a wide temperature range. Unfortunately, they are just about worn out. I bought another pair a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, they are not the same. They are now elk skin on the back. This is not as flexible as deerskin. The worst parts are that the seems are no longer nicely ironed and irritate my fingers and the velcro cuff closure has been reversed, shortened and improperly located. In short, I don't use them. I feel they've been cheapened and you can have mine for $50. All black deersports. Size xl.

I like these. People can tell that I'm a "real biker"...



... and I don't have to pull over to pick my nose. Shocked

Only the Reasonists. They believe in an evidence-based world, something called Rationalism. But it's a tiny group, not so influential.

Some people like hi-viz gear. Me, I've got an invisible man suit. Laughing

Wow. I've always heard "Ride like you're invisible." Never heard of anyone going this far... Wink
