@Jethro posted a thread about some gloves available at Princess Auto that generated some questions re suitability for riding.
What gloves do you wear day in and day out when riding? Daily rides as well as longer trips (if there is a difference).
I wear a pair of Lee Parks deerskin gloves w/ a reinforced palm and knuckles, but I have to admit I wonder how much protection they would provide in a long slide. They are getting old, and sometimes I wear a pair of deerskin work gloves (probably not a good idea) that fit well.
Sullivan and Fox Creek deerskin gloves - for motorcycles - look to me to be very similar to my deerskin work gloves - questionable?
Fit is a big problem for me. My hands are broad with short fingers, so medium sizes are too small, and large yield fingers that are too long. Held gloves, for all their sizes, were a big disappointment - they don't fit my hands.
