Teknic Rage Gloves?

I'm in the market for some nice gloves. I currently have gaunlet type gloves but they are hot and are a bit cumbersome. I found these on Iron pony and wondered if anyone has tried them. I admit they are a bit loud but they seem to have alot of good features. What does everyone think or could anyone give a review.. Much appreciated...

I am not in love with the colors, but for the price, it looks like good protection. I prefer gauntlet style gloves myself for better protection.

I just bought new gloves today... I tried on a few different pairs and decided on the Joe Rocket Reactors. (link). I've been wearing these gloves for a while but had to get a size bigger - I like them.

I used to wear gaunlet style gloves but for me they were to hot and bulky. The most important thing behind protection is fit. If they fit and are comfortable, go for it.

The last set of gloves I bought have that "knuckle" protection which I think is great so far. Just watch the inside seams and make sure they aren't to small. I used a pair of gloves that felt fine when I tried them on but were just a touch to small when actually riding... 320 miles later I wanted to trash them.

Don't have any previous knowledge concerning those gloves though... sorry.

Those are kinda sweet, a little flashy though.


Personally I wear Cortech Acceleration gloves. They run about $65 but are extremely comfortable and give good protection. I've worn them in 40 degree weather and 100 degree weather, and my hands never froze/baked.

I'm on my second pair of Alpinestars SPS. I spilled gas on & ruined my first pair. They are super comfy & built for war. I also just ordered a pair of AStars Raven gloves since I finally wore a hole in my SMX-6 gloves after several years.
