Default Best leather gauntlets under $100?

I'm looking for a reasonably priced pair of gloves. I paid $76 for the last pair I bought, and I don't want to spend over $100 for another pair. Should be suitable for street and track use. MUST have wrist and gauntlet closures.

Two I've found are the Cortech Scarab RR and Adrenaline. I liked my RRs, and I like the Winters, but the RRs are toast for reasons I won't elaborate on.

I tried on the A* Octane S-Moto short gloves and liked them, but not what I want. Also tried on a Yamaha branded pair that seemed decent, but they were white, and didn't feel right, and were $100.

So what are you track people wearing? No I won't be buying $160 A* GP Plus or $200 Dainese.

If you shop around you may be able to find something like the A* SP1 for about 100. They retail at 120 brand new most places so Im sure you can get em new on ebay or an ebay store for 100 or less.

If JoJo and Ebbs aren't going to buy my GP Plus gloves for $80, I got a pair of large GP Plus gloves for sale. You need to ask JoJo and Ebbs first.

I use elk skin gloves, which are second best against abrasion after kangaroo skin. Great for street riding where you have to really feel the levers, but they don't have gauntlets so I don't know how they would work on the track.

These here are $110, but they are very, very good:http://www.leeparksdesign.com/eshopp...rts_Black_.htm

I've found that A* gloves fit a size or two small. Watching the STG reviews, they say the same thing. Normally I wear a 10 or 11, which is a large or XL in most leather gloves. A* gloves, I need at least an XL if not a XXL. Their pants and jackets are dead on for me though.

I like the ICON Merc gauntlets. They are comfortable and have protected me through two crashes.
