You know something...I have those as well. They appear to be very very protective. I had my doubts that they would hold up after a crash....but as you say....maybe they do.
I paid $60 on closeouts for mine.

Dye then black. Cheap gloves that offer as much protection do not exist.

I'm shopping around. When this shitty weather blows over again, I'll head to some shops that have a better selection. Which means a nice 60 mile ride each way that could turn into 200 miles if I hit several places, and I plan to be creative with the route. Somerset to Morgantown to Uniontown...

Well, I ordered my gloves this morning. Got the Cortech Adrenaline from motorcycle-superstore. Paid less than $100 for the gloves plus a K&N filter for my next oil change.
Tried to order my jacket from STG, but I don't think it worked. Have to call them after work. Also have to check around for somewhere to put the 360 zip in.

Stingray skin is the best for abrasion resistance.... I've got that in several spots on my Held Phantoms.

However for the best leather gauntlet under $100. The Teknic Chicane's are awseome. I'm on my 2nd pair. My first pair lasted over two years. I bought them on closeout for about $25. I would still be wearing them, but when I won a newer pair, I went ahead and retired these. My 2nd pair I won for free at a bikenight raffle. Retail price on them is under $75 though. They are comfortable, well made, and seem to be pretty good quality.
