What gloves are YOU using for trials/street riding?

I like the wrist support in the KH gloves I use, however the full finger
design is rather hot it the summer.

I use 'PRYME \"Dem Bones\"' (http://www.prymegear.com) gloves. Full
finger, mesh backing arent TOO hot, some wrist support without being
too constricting.

661 dirt jumping gloves. i got a great deal on a pair of the "nastys" i
like the non-padded palm, i think for trials it gets in the way.

The back's of them are synthetic and wick the sweat away. I like them in
the summer. They have great wrist support, too.

There is one more rarely considered option for quality riding gloves!
The Home Depot.

I have a pair of Harbingers and to me they are like leather-elastic
ovens. As a distance runner, I was never able to keep a pair of gloves
on for more than 1/2 mile because I always found them too hot, no matter
what the temperature.

However, I took some leather work gloves, cut off the fingers, and I can
wear these without a problem. They provide no wrist protection but I
never all anyway. (OK. I lied. Sometimes I fall down.)

Some people have had the audacity to suggest they lack aesthetic appeal.
(Not mentioning any names in reverse, namguB & dnommurD.) So, if you
need to look the part, these aren't for you. But for the unicyclist who
doesn't need to conform to any style, these are all that, and some. I
love them!

Plus, you can use old broken-in and worn out gloves, because you are
cutting off the fingers anyway.

Hey, maybe I'll market them. I think I have a couple more worn-out pair
in the truck.

Fox sidewinders are my favorite. Although the modle I like is about 4
years old. Things I look for in a glove is comfort, a snot rag on the
thumb and a padded palm for when you fall.

need for a full finger glove.

I use Fox Digit gloves, they're comfortable in summer and winter, even
though you will need to wash them very regularly, as they begin to smell
quite badly, quite quickly. (Mainly due to the fact that I wipe my
forehead with them, it has a special area for that) It has saved my
hands from severe bruising more then once, and it makes my KH seat
handle much more comfortable to hold.

i have the exact same gloves, fcwegnm0b. they are great to use with or
without the plastic plates, since they make the gloves kinda chunky.

A friend of mine had the very expensive 661 wrist guards, they were
junk, they didn't cover the hand much and he destroyed them in a single
fall on some scree, also resulting in several nasty cuts to his hands. I
can't be bothered to resize the photo to show it here but you get the
idea. Just goes to show that 661 aren't infallible as a brand, shame cos
the 4x4, 2x4 and mullet are great.

In winter and colder weather, the KH are great. In summer, my 10yo
roller blade guards with hard plastic inserts are fine.

Regardless, wrists are usually the first point of call.......so to
speak!
