    Not to often I get a nice surprise. Ding dong the door bell went, the wife got the Door. Jay!! more motorbike parts, I go Huh?? then it came to me I ordered back in Oct a set of gloves new old stock, thought they would go great with the jacket I had gotten earlier. But what was cool here they where in a 3xl that are hard to come by as most are 2xs and run a tad tight , these are like heaven, wow, forgot there for a moment these where coming, as they were on a back order then got caught up in the holiday shipping traffic. Is cool, I like surprises.

    IDK about that, from the US measuring system, been told they are a size 12. all though I have been told i have long fingers. Most gloves I get blow out in the thumb arch, very rare I can get a couple seasons out of a pair. this last set I have are 2xl like the ones I just got, they are a tad stiff and wee tight when I went back to using em from the last time (5 years ago) so went digging for something similar to replace them with, and found a pair in summer atire that are 3xl and very nice. ya gota love close outs. These are like those but with more serious protection.

    Closeouts are the best.

    I watch CanadasMotorcycle and MotorcycleCloseouts all the time. :)

    I followed the charts once and found the gloves tight, so I returned them and got the next size up ... they felt good ... for a short while, then they broke in and felt like a 50 year old whore they were so loose.

    The next set I bought and put up with the tightness until they broke in. They took about 2 weeks of solid riding but broke in nicely.

    I tried looking through Canada Motorcycle's discontinued stock sales today but didn't get though it. There were something like 2500 items.

    Nice gloves Jay. I manage to get years out of mine. Think I am only on my third pair since 2006

    Randy, just go to the section you're interested in ... then sort by price (lowest first).

    It will show you closeouts there.

    Ya. I was really just searching through to see what I could use that would make up the difference I needed to get the free sbipping so as to save $7.00. Only cost me $35.00 more!
