Short cuff gloves

JoJoYZF · 03-13-2009, 04:04 PM

I know a lot of you will only wear gauntlets, but for my 2 mile trips to work and running errands around town, I prefer to leave the gauntlets at home. Since my joe rockets are pretty beat up after 2 seasons, I need some new short cuffs. Any suggestions? Im open to most brands, except JR if theyre gonna pop seams and shit as quick as this pair did. Hoping to keep it below $100.

Bad idea. Get the gauntlets. They don't take any longer to put on.

I have a pair of a* gp plus' that I wear for any longer trips and any highway rides already. Like I said, for short trips around town I wear short cuffs.

I love my A* SMX-3's. They're a meshie/textile MX type glove. Really comfy. I believe the SMX-6' are similar but with some leather & carbon fiber.

I've got the SMX-2's.

Love them.

I have like 4 pairs of gaunlet gloves. Short street trips are ideal for the SMX line.

Again I don't recommend it but it's your body. Anyway, you can't go wrong with A*, Held, or Spidi. Avoid AVG Sport and Teknic.

Held has some new gloves coming out this spring - a gauntlet and a 3/4 (basically a shorty with an extra plate to cover the wrist bone). Flippin SWEET ASS GLOVES, but they'll be in the $250 range for the shorty (and $280 for the gauntlet). Still,

gloves... *sigh*

Yeah they're great and comfy for my short commute in warmer weather.

Id love some helds but 250 is a little much for short commute gloves. Im thinking of something like the octane or something similar from a*. Ill have to look into the smx series.

i have 3 pairs of a* short cuffs, 1 mesh/some other fabirc, 1 leather/mesh, 1 leather with plastic knuckle guards. excellent fit and comfort, & cheap, but they don't last that long. the mesh and leather suede parts around your finger tips start to wear away pretty quickly.
