Looking for gauntlet gloves to replace my old #amazon $20 gloves which I used on my #msf course and they look like their lifespan is over (rode with them not even 1 season). Anyway, full grain leather going over my forearms for the price which won’t catch attention of my wife :-). I’m a cruiser rider (sporty 48) who prefers no colors on my gloves. Simplicity is an ultimate goal.
Have you looked at Fox Creek Leather? I have a pair of their (discontinued, it was designed like the cuffed Maverick but had a velcro strap around the wrist for extra retention) gloves and they still look good after twelve years, though a seam is starting to open after a get off a few years ago.
No, I have not, thank you for the hint ! Looks like my budget will suffer another hit :-D. $200 is something I never expected to pay for the gloves. But as long as they last for a long time, I don’t mind paying that much.
I’ll be honest, I like the Fox Creeks I have but you can find gloves for less. I rode with a pair of deerskin ropers from a Western store for years. Any good pair of goat, deer, or elk skin gloves will last a long time and give good abrasion protection (as long as they stay on, look for a strap, I’ve crash tested what was at the time a $50 pair and they and I survived).
Gloves like these:
