Has anyone tried this style of glove and if so what do you think of them?
I had written a bit previously but accidently deleted the post so here's the short version lol

Well, to me it looks like half a glove.
I think based on all my previous purchases of gloves I'd expect 3 or 4 pairs for that kind of money (though I do usually buy from Aldi)

Lol i also think it looks like half a glove but it's growing on me, i just wonder what protection it offers compared to a more conventional glove. I also wonder about wind getting up inside the arms of my jacket. I have had my current glove's for a long time now but they have got wet just a bit too often and frankly "stink" lol so much so that on my last trip around Scotland i had to buy a new pair of gortex style bike gloves £30 Buffalo ones and in 200 miles the seam has burst on one glove which makes you think. I'm back on the Mainland at the end of the month so i wouldn't mind trying on a pair before splashing out more cash. I actually went to Aldi while away to look for
Dry replacements for my stinky gloves but that store didn't have any bike gear :( Aldi have some good stuff, my last tank bag came from there, excellent bag

I bought a pair of double skinned leather shorties ( with better level of protection ), they were just under £40 two years ago from R & G
Nice fit,good glove and they dont look like the dog has been chewing them.
Snobby over rated brand with price to match, IMHO

Cheers guys, that Tuzo glove looks real good and a great price. Definatly be looking for a short pair to try on when im down on the mainland and see what deals i can find
Just had a look at the R+G site and only found 1 glove on their site it's a conventional long glove and it looks great
if i don't find anything when away i now think they are the ones i'm going for. Thanks

Dunno about the gloves, but I've boot boots from this outfit and I was very pleased with the service I got from them over the phone.

I'ver only ever bought 1 pair online and they wer so calle XL but they didn't even get as far as my wrist, so I now try and buy in a shop.
My last pair bought are a Berik GS series, non water proof but after 6 years they still fit like a second skin and are really comfortable, plus a quick flick and any car owner will shift over

Having bought a pair of gloves from ebay, a while back, which turned out to be too small despite being labelled XXL, I'd never buy gloves by mail order. Also, manufacturers' sizings seem to vary - I'm XXL for Dainese, but XL for Arlen Ness (or the other way round
)
