| I don't think I'd wear gloves without fingers. I looked up the gloves you mentioned and they look quite flimsy for motorcycle gloves, are you sure they are designed for motorbikes? |

You might look pretty silly with brown fingers and white hands. I wear perforated gloves in the Arizona heat, and they work fine.

My dermis stays on my hands not on the road surface. The idea of no cover over my skin, even fingers! Skin grafts may be possible but never pain less. |

| Buckskin gloves are not over hot, I use them all year round (complete with all the fingers!). Besides which, I have nothing to prove to the posers. |

| Tried em all, Tour Master, Cortech, River Road, Alpinestars. The most durable, comfortable and washable summer gloves I found for my extra large wide paws are the “Fox Reflex Gel mountain bike gloves”. They breath have padded fingers and palms and a plus for me is a terrycloth area on the thumb side to wipe the sweat from my face. http://www.rei.com/product/797386/fox-reflex-gel-full-finger-bike-gloves-mens I may be a little bias after wearing these for 20+ years ......  |

They are comfortable, cool in summer and warm when worn with silk inners.

Wow that company makes some damn fine gear - I think I want this suit when I grow up and can afford to drop $1200 on one.

I have theiir
Jacket ( http://motoport.worldsecuresystems.com/_product_106895/Ultra_II_Air_Mesh_Kevlar_Jacket) and Pants ( http://motoport.worldsecuresystems.com/_product_106916/Ultra_II_Kevlar_Pant ) both with quad-armor.
Jacket Liner ( http://www.motoport.com/_product_35444/Aero-Tex_Rain_Jacket ) and Pant Liner ( http://www.motoport.com/_product_35444/Aero-Tex_Rain_Pant )
The gear is still cheaper than a medical bill and will not need to be replaced._________________ Bill - Georgetown TX 07 Silver Wing ABS Clearview w/vent, Givi E96/TB19/E52 with Admore Lighting, Alaskan Leather, Wrist Rests, 3M Solas tape, K&N air, Hyperpro spring, Grip Puppies, Airhawk, Utopia backrest, Stebel, Apexcone HIDs, StingerZ LEDs (w/Backoff WigWag), Knight Rider Sequential LED, NGK Iridium, Power Commander III, Manic Salamander, Saeng mirrors, Garmin Zumo 660, Dark-Side Sumitomo Tire |
