Recently I saw a reference to Kevlar gloves.
Not the knuckle area, but a complete Kevlar knit glove.
These are used a lot in various manufacturing, meat cutting, glass handling, and construction applications.
Wouldn't they be good to have in the event of a get-off?
It seems like putting out your hand palm down is a pretty natural reaction.
My motorcycle riding gloves don't have a lot of leather in the palm although they do have those neat little gel pads. What are those supposed to be good for, anyway?
I was considering the purchase of some heavy duty work gloves rather than buying more $35 to $80 motorcycle specific gloves that probably don't really provide all that much protection.
Maybe the Kevlar gloves would be an alternative.
Draggin Jeans of Australia sells them in Europe for motorcycle use.
Draggin Jeans of the U.S.A. doesn't seem to have them on their web site.
