Default New Gear!

Got my Cortech Adrenaline gloves on tuesday. SO NICE! They are the best feeling gloves I have ever tried on. Kangaroo palm with plastic main knuckle protector and smaller rubberized bits on the fingers. Perforations on the inside between the fingers to keep cool, and a vent under the back of the knuckle protector. I was stuck in traffic a good part of my trip last night- 75 degrees with no airflow and my legs were cooking from the engine, but my hands were cool.

Well, I had a longer review written, but my browser glitched. In short, these things rock! They're nicer than the Scarab RRs I had in that there's no extra material or throttle slippage. I rodered a size smaller and they are perfect!



See this space for a review of my A* jacket when it comes.

I've been really happy with the Cortech SCARAB and Winter SCARAB. I don't know how well they'd perform at high speed crashes, but they are comfortable and the prices are at around $70/pair.
