Default Ebay Gloves?

Anyone do business on ebay? I have no leather/cold weather riding gloves. I figured Kevlar or carbon fiber would be cool and found this guy's stuff. Seems cheap since I have NO idea who makes it and if it is good, but the reviews are good.

Also he has leather with steel knuckles. I'm nervous about scratching my bike if I accidentally hit it with a knuckle. What do you guys think?

If the link doesn't work, the item number for the steel is 330208358136 and the kevlar is 250206253972

You really need to try gloves on before you buy. If their even a little to snug your hand will go numb in 20 min. To big and working the levers gets clunky. Ron at WCW is a great choice but I'm not sure how close he is to you....

even if you don't go to WCW try gloves on first....... I keep finding defective gloves (they all have too many fingers on the right hand)

They look like ICON knock-offs. ICON is crap so these are probably worse. Stay away from those matal blingy gloves unless you plan on jousting

Take everyones advice and at least try them on somewhere before you buy them.


Oh yea, nevermind Rock LOL

Seriously, they all fit different depending on who makes them so definitely try them on before buying. Personally, my favorite gloves are Held and their ice-breaker gloves are warm.

I bought gloves off of E-bay last year for the track and they don't fit right and barely fit over my leather's wrists. The fingers are WAY to long too. Looking for new ones to match my new leathers but have not found any yet. My hands are my livelihood, so they need to be protected at all costs!
