    Hi all, I need to get some summer(Ha Ha) gloves but even in the summer I get chilled hands. I’ve looked at some of the Triumph gloves are they any good? I’ve looked at other brands obviously and I quite like some of the sandy/camel ones but I’m not sure they will look right with a black bike, black waxed jacket and jeans. I want some decent ones with just a cuff not a gauntlet and I don’t know why but all my other gloves which fit fine always gives me pins and needles in the palm of my hands as the leather seems to crease up. my current gloves are Richa gortex ones which are good but I fancy a retro looking glove.

    Thanks

    I wear Dainese Blackjacks in the summer, nice and light and not too warm.

    Have a look at the Motolegends website. They do many types of glove from a variety of manufacturers, as do other bike gear shops, but they are very picky and only sell what they consider to be the best. They review every product and explain why they think it does the job better than the competition, they don't just repeat the manufacturers blurb, which is what most other gear shops do. Over the years I've bought quite a few items from them and they've never failed me yet. Well worth a look.

    Have a look at Knox Orsa. They are comfortable. I use the textile version in summer as it flows ton of air. However, their leather version should keep your hands warm and still allows it to breathe.

    Very comfortable with lots of "feel" through the palm. Padded back to the hand and fingers but not hard plastic protection as with race type gloves. Quite tight round the wrist designed to go under a jacket sleeve, not over it.

    just been and bought these gloves. They feel to be well made and I think they should last a while. I had to go up a size, I’m usually a size 10 or large in chainsaw and my old held motorcycle gloves. I’ve had to go to an 11 or XL in these. Summer gloves eh? Let’s just hope we get a summer to use them now.
