Best gel riding gloves for the summer

[N2260V]

Hey all! For warm weather, what's the best glove? I'm talking touring with the Hayabusa so it'll be perforated and have silicone gel on the palm. I rode the IBA's 1000 miles in 24hrs and when I was done I couldn't feel my thumb and first 2 fingers on either hand for a week afterward. Seems to press right on the carple tunnel, deadening my hand. Need the silicone gel. I read it's the best for spreading out the vibration and pressure riding in a sportbike stance. What do you all ride long distances in the hot weather with? Thanks, Walt

Try using your torso/legs to support more of your weight when you ride. Also, consider Genmar or Reaper risers to raise the handlebars. For really long distances I also add a tank bag full of clothes etc. so that I can rest my upper body on it when doing the long straights on the highway.

It's all about getting the pressure off those arms.

Thanks for the tips! I 've got the genmar's and a huge tankbag to fill with clothes...I'll be putting those on when the weather turns better here in MT. I'd like a gel palm, hot weather riding glove to help. Any ideas, thanks, Walt

Just noticed you were in MT. Just thought I'd drop a line and see if I'll be able to pull the bike out when I get back in town, lol.

Try a throttlemeister also to give your throttle hand a break.

Nice to let your right hand hang off for a bit without slowing down.

This is a good thread....I'd like to know what everyone uses for summer riding gloves too...

Right now I have my gauntlet style non perforated (Buell) gloves. (shut up PD)

other than that, I use my shift MX gloves...no gel in the palm tho..

What are the best warm weather riding gloves out there?
