You should get some gaunlet style gloves, great for wrist protection espicially when you hit trees.......

Yup, gauntlet gloves provide more protection. My personal faves are Held. Alpinstars and Technik make good ones, too.

I'm not sure if they go above the wrists but check out Icon.
I love my Icon TiMax gloves. I have a set of them, a gauntlet set from a small company, and a motocross set.

Cool, in that case check out Alpinestars SMX-5 or SP-S. Or the Technic SMT. www.newenough.com carries all of those. They may be what you're looking for.

No soda is not gonna ride bitch on my bike. :lol:
But soda i have these GLVOES (http://www.joerocket.com/jrf/products/product.cfm?products_id=115) that end right at my wrist.
I also just pick these GLOVE (http://www.newenough.com/alpinestars_smx_air_carbon_gloves_page.htm) at Extreme machines in Jersey for $55.
Both work great but i trust the leather more.

I have Alpinestars SMX-5 and they have held up very well. They offer very little protection but if you are just looking for a short wrist length glove you might like these. Sizing runs true to size also. :)
