Cheap good gloves

[Junkie]

Port4mance, which ones did you get (and what size/color)? I'm interested if they're M and actually fit me.

If they aren't M, I'm interested in yours all_xs

I think they only have the black ones left.
PM me if you can't get hold of Port4mance.
I'm in Concord and ride Redwood often. I'll be out there tomorrow evening and I'll lower it to $30 even:teeth

Good Gloves that cost a lot money...

Maybe the post should have read, "Good gloves, cheap"

The 'Protector' gloves I got for 25 bucks are really nice, seem to offer great protection (haven't tested 'em yet ) and fit well. And guess what? They don't say Alpinestars, Dainese, Prada or Gucci.

I generally agree with the philosophy "You get what you pay for." Certain brands constantly deliver quality but that doesn't mean that quality only comes from certain brands.

These aren't cheap gloves. They're simply a great bargain. :thumbup

I bought a blue pair and a black pair. size M. I'm looking for a bike now, ideally in blue. If I end up with a blue bike, I'll keep the blue and sell the black. Otherwise, keep the black and sell the blue.

Whoa, that reminds me of the selsun blue commercial. "Don't wear black without the blue, selsun blue." lol

Bill Nighy's the money. Right up there with Christopher Walken. :teeth

As far as good cheap gloves for the summer that's been crash-tested? I'll chime in my Joe Rocket UFO gloves. Crash-tested, and I still wear it to date.

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.

I picture an old Brit with gnarly teeth and hard alcohol on his breath.

been riding with the gloves for a bit now and finally got to go on trip with them. Dont seem to have stretched out much even though it was hot and I was sweating in them.

I also noticed looking at the tag that the knuckles are actually real carbon-kevlar, not the fake look alike stuff.

Also interesting to note that olympia is actually a glove maker, not just a rebrander so there is a good chance many name brand gloves are actually made by olympia.

I ordered a second pair.

BOO! someone return some large black "protectors" so I can get some!!!

Just bought a pair :teeth Thank you for the heads up!

After seeing how well those A* GP Plus' held up from the guy on the 636(?) hitting a deer on Palomares, I'm pretty much done withy buying any A* gloves.

Damn I just caught this thread after I bought these at Mission Motorcycles

Oh well I had my coupon from Zoom Zoom and Wendy and the crew are very nice and extremely helpful. This was my first set of "racing" gloves and I really needed to try on every glove to find the right fit. I was planning on AlpineStars but the Olympia's were the best fit, had wrist protection, kelvar reinforced stiching and a bit of venting.

Maybe I'll just have to order another pair since I like their products. :nerd
