vertigo Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've been using a pair of Alpinestars Alloy shorty gloves for my first season on this bike and now I want some gauntlets. I would very much prefer them to have scaphoid protection (palm sliders). Knox Handroids look a bit too spaceman and they're $330 CDN so that's not gonna happen, but I came across the Scorpion SG3 gloves for around $150 that have Knox's own SPS palm slider setup. Do any of you have any experience with these or know of any other gloves that have proper scaphoid protection? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuryn Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have the short version of the scorpion gloves and I went down recently with them on, hands are perfectly unscathed and the gloves although a bit rough can probably stake another fall. The plastic protection in the palm really took the grunt of the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cndnmax Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Whatever you get make sure they are full leather, don't get anything with stretch panels. Many years ago my first pair of gloves Were nice racer gloves with stretch panels in between the fingers. Made for very comfortable gloves but I went down at slowish speed and they just shredded at the stretchy parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 vertigo I found these on Amazon for a little cheaper, $95.99 for lg. size. Reviewers have them rated at 5 stars. Check out the reviews. Very nice for the price, I think. http://www.amazon.com/Scorpion-SG3-Gloves-Large-Blue/dp/B008VTP72I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1455199449&sr=8-1&keywords=Scorpion+SG3+gloves Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwpowere36m3 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I haven't been impressed with A-Stars gloves, seen way too many reviews with them "blown" apart at the stitches... I bought a set of HELD airstream gloves and they've been awesome. Survived one asphalt slide, already. Will definitely get them again (worth price paid), considering I've already had them for 4+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wickedtwister Posted February 12, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 12, 2016 Held airstream are outstanding summer gloves with lots of protection. Flow just as much air as a star smx glove and will last 3000 times longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuryn Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I will warn you that the stitching in the seams of my SGS gloves fell apart after about 2 weeks. (SGS is the short version of those essentially.) After some mickey mouse sewing it worked just fine, a great pair of gloves. Barely scathed after my fall, although my mickey mouse stitching did open up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman02 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 my sgs gloves did the same thing and I sewed them with some power pro fishing line. but about 6 months in the leather in some spots on the palm got so soft you could tear it by barely pulling at it. needless to say won't buy them again.

Just fixed it on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
