Thanks for the info Chris...I'm late in seeing this thread....it's been a hell of a week!{in my best Paul Teutul Sr. impression}The picture king! The gloves do look nice...they just seem like they'd sort of swallow up my hands and leave me with no good grip...I need to find a cycle shop with lots of gear to try on...then have Chris come up and take pics of all the stuff!
I gotta tell ya, I really thought the same thing.

Seriously Michelle, just seeing the gloves on newenough.com's site and the shot posted here by our ol' pal Rev I was concerned about the apparent bulk and stiffness of these gloves. I wondered if I'd be able to manipulate the levers with 'em on. I even looked at lesser gloves for some of my riding because I was afraid that the Teknics would be too much for every day riding.
After tryin' 'em on and riding with them I gotta tell ya that any concerns I had about these gloves faded away like a ZX12R in a busa rearview mirror.
As big and bulky as they appear to be, even in person, they honestly wear and work like a plain medium weight leather glove, like what I wear at work during the winter. In fact, they allow me to work my hands even more freely and allow better feel of the controls than some standard non-riding gloves I've had would have.
These gloves are absolutely the second best thing I've ever bought pertaining to riding. #1 is the busa, #2 are these gloves. 'Course the Pit Bulls come in a close third.
I need to find someplace near by to check out gear...a nice glove might have saved my finger today!
