After tearing up my second pair of alpinestars gloves yesterday i'm ready to switch companies for my next pair of gloves. What do you guys wear? The hooligan gloves from Icon look pretty tough but they are also bulky and look hot as hell. Kinda wanted something that breaths and is flexible, like a motox glove outta leather or something.

i wear some 'pimp hand' gloves... i have some aplinestars but theyre too hot so i never put them on... these things were like $40 from ebay and i've slid on my hands at about 30mph a few times with no problems

Those "Pimp Hand Gloves" are made by GPstar. Goodstuff. Tried the icon hooligans.......rubber knuckle armor was way to bulky with the clutch pulled in w/ 1 finger. I ended up the icon superdutys. Good gloves. But I dont like the closure system. gotta have "hook n' loop. So I'm prob gonna get some A* air carbon gloves.

i use the icon super duty. went down once around 40 and can still rock them no problem, they are short so not a lot of heat build up when your out all day

In went down when i tucked an endo at 40 and my alpinestars shredded. Leather split right down the palm. I haven't heard anything good about icons stuff, though i haven't tried the super duty. A friend has the pursuits and after a week they started to come apart without ever hitting the ground. The stuntragz price is right plus i'd like to support the stunt industry when possible. Anyone have them? How do they hold up? How flexible? How hot?

I picked up the Stuntrags aggressive gloves a few weeks ago from Chris and I love them. I ride every day and they are holding up well so far and they are light weight so they are staying pretty cool (and its starting to get hot as fuck down here in SoFla).

I use Mechanix (brand) Gloves found at any auto parts store for $20-$25. they are very light wieght, unrestrictive, and hold up well. There are quite a few of us out here rockin 'em.
