I just got a pair of Buse Kevlar gloves that were a discontinued item. They retailed for $189 but I paid 99 OTD. Any info on crash testing of opinions on how the felt after extended use. Also what gloves do you use with your rocket?

The gloves I have seemed to be better then anything i saw at a couple of places. Full grain leather everywhere,(not kangaroo palm like Dainese) with the same kevlar protected areas as Dainese and AGV. It just seemed like to good of a deal to pass up.

What do you all think? Did I pull a squid move again. Or was this a sound decision on my part? I don't really care about the cost when it comes to my safety and surviving a crash.

What do you use? Why? How much $$$$? where did you get them?

Thanks

they sound like good gloves to me man. better than nothing for sure.

I Have the joe rocket Speedmaster gloves. Yet i have not got to use them much yet i do wear them some to see how they feel, and they fell great.

They cost $125 and i got them through my dealer but u can find em on the internet probably a lil cheaper
I would post pics of them but i dont know how if you could tell me i will

ok this wont be a popular respons but i have worn the thicker kelvar racing gloves and i dont like them its hard for me to feel my controls through them, so i wear moto cross gloves they are like thinner material with padding in the palm and fingers but deffinatly not enough to save your fingers from a little roadrash if you crash, my oprinion is i have more of a risk of crashing from the bigger thicker gloves from not being able to correct something fastenough than fron the thinner skin like gloves i wear now

I duno? They sound good to me.

I wear Alpinestars GP Plus gloves and I love'm. I paid $161 from kneedraggers with free shipping.

Newenough.com has great deals on gloves all the time,I just ordered up the Teknic Violator Pros 2002 model,I already have last years version and they are great!$69 bucks images/icons/shocked.gif

Acerbis Carbon Motocross in the summer, Alpinestars GP Plus (with thermal underglove) for the winter or when it's cold

I use the Joe Rocket Speedways. Which cost about 80 bucks.

I tried on many pairs and found these to be the most comfortable by far and they held up great in crashes which I have personal experience from. graemlins/laugh.gif

icon timax, they also look badass graemlins/laugh.gif

I use Teknic Chicane w/studs and Violator Pros. Both are of excellent quality, fit and finish! The Chicanes I've experienced a lo-side and slid with them a bit palm down and afterwards looked as if nothing ever happened except for a couple studs scraped. Haven't broken in the Violators yet but are very comfortable and the armor system is top notch! graemlins/thumbup.gif

A-Stars graemlins/thumbup.gif
Got the GP Plus

Technic Speedstars

Fit is great and they don't feel bulky at all.

I have icon timax also, they're great! Not too good for keeping the hands warm due to good ventilation though. images/icons/grin.gif images/icons/wink.gif

icon timax here aswell. excellent gloves. graemlins/thumbup.gif

I wear the speedmasters by joe rocket as well. They are very comfortable and in no way hinder my ability to control the bike. Many top level gloves are a bit stiff when new, but after breaking in they mold to your hand and get to be much more flexible graemlins/thumbup.gif

with all that metal, no amount of asphalt will get through to my hands!

When I wrecked my FZR600 I was wearing a pair of AGV carbon Kevlar gloves (cheapest pair with hard armor in Dennis Kirk) a t-shirt, and a helmet. Those gloves saved me from what could have been much worse injuries. That was a couple of seasons ago, but I have now come to my senses and am looking at buying a 99 GSX-R600 which I will ride with LEATHERS! Debreeding (sp?) sucks!

I got the alpinestars smx carbon gloves for this comin' summer
