Cheap good gloves

[bpw]

Olympia is getting rid of last years inventory on their site.

Just recieved a pair of their top of the line gloves (the 335). Only $25 in the internet special section and seem well built. Even have Kangaroo palms. I would say they are about the same quality as the Racer gloves I was looking at a couple of weeks ago. Maybe a little better design even. Fit about the same too.


Ignore their sizing chart. I normally wear a medium glove but the chart said I was an XL. The mediums I ordered fit fine. (ignore this, I suck at rulers apparently)

I have no connection to Olympia. Just wanted to pass it on.

Chart says i'm medium. Does that mean i should order a xsmall?

Btw, the order form seems very... low tech. Almost to the point where it doesn't look legit.

Ok never mind the sizing thing. Apparently I suck at rulers. went back and measured again and it shows me as a medium. Not sure what I was doing before, especially since I checked about 10 times cause it didnt make sense.

Yeah the order form is super low tech but I got mine no problem. I think its basically an email form that someone then reads and puts the order together.

These are good value too.

Not the most supple but crash-tested twice (pretty high speed) and they held up very well.

how about any recommendations on summer gloves? even better if crash tested =)

Go with perforated leather over mesh. You would be surprised how handy your hands are in absorbing impact and abrasion. Gloves to me are pretty much the 2nd most important gear after the helmet.

Yay!
My order arrived today.
Their 'Protector' glove for $25! (was $99)

They fit, I sized using their sizing tool thingie. I just opened the box and tried them on, haven't ridden with them yet, but they seem great.

Thanks for the heads up on the sale!

Snow such ting as good cheep gloves.
When one crashes..one tends to put lotion on their body....
oh sorry wrong bulletin board... when one crashes one tends
to put their hands out...(read: reflex action)...
Cheap, good gloves look good but don't hold up.. Without blinking an eye put
$170 down on my GP++ gloves...guess what when I crash
won't have my fook'n palms/fingertips grounded down to
mash... unlike the time I bought "good/cheap" gloves..

So everytime I read Silly Sod's posts, I imagine its Bill Nighy as Davey Jones from Pirates of the Carribean talking, and it comes off very smooth and cinematic.
...and he's probably right about the gloves.

Yeah, thats probably not the greatest pic...

[Kwang]

well, the mediums I just got are big for me so does anyone want them for the ad price + shipping for $33?

 

[Port4mance]

Well I just got my gloves today and I must say that they are probably worth the cost. Definitely not high end gloves. The Joe Rocket gloves I got from New Enough a few months back for the same prices are 10 times better.

I'll sell mine for $20 is somebody wants them.

 

[Vitamin D]

haven't bough too many pairs of gloves so I can't say. But if your on a budget, they feel right for 33$. I am happy wit em'
