I have been using these and have been real happy with them. Nice long gauntlet on them. I like how the little finger is bridged to the finger next to it. That feature is a little late for my left hand but if it keeps me from "modifying" the right pinkie to match...  Great customer service.
Make sure you get the right size. XL in the road racing world is a medium in normal people size. Call them up and they'll get you through.

Have a Harley, spent lots of money on it, thought I had a fast motorcycle, bought a Busa, realized all I had was a fast Harley, not a fast motorcycle!

Yeah, they look hard core............busted both thumbs.  Crashing Motorhead's bike, I Held onto the bars a split second too long and the bars, on impact, broke both thumbs....am fine now.


Well not quite..............can't get the same tight grip on  the old swantz when I ain't got no date. Does not matter which hand, both are impotent now.


TMI?   :hys: :hys: :hys: :hys: :hys:

I think thats what I got. Good protection but still lots of dexterity.

I like handroids but they don't fit my hands. n  and I really don't dig the boa thing in the event of a crash they are likely to be damaged beyond use.

HELD Titans are where my money goes.
