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 love my Icon TiMax gloves. I have a set of them, a gauntlet set from a small company, and a motocross set.

The clasp near the wrist, but not much.

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.

Question

No soda is not gonna ride bitch on my bike.

But soda i have these GLVOES that end right at my wrist.

I also just pick these GLOVE at Extreme machines in Jersey for $55.

Both work great but i trust the leather more.
