My current set of gloves are nice but are a little small so I want to get another set. I'm wear large but what I have run a half size smaller so that was my issue. What is your all time favorite set of gloves? and do they run large, small, or perfect.

Im not much here as I just finally found a pair of motorcycle gloves that even fit me.

They are Icons, cost $29 shipped and are 4xl. They're still very snug and I have to struggle to pull them on and off, but it's better than nothing.

I have the icon stealth gloves which look awsome. Kinda interested in what gel padding feels like. Is there a store in town that has a decent amount of gloves?

I like the Icon Pursuits.

Check out Derby Cycles in Lex.  They have more gloves than anyone else around.  OK  they have 10 pair vs. 2 at most other places.

Man we need to work up a group buy at the Iron Pony.

Those look badass. Little pricey but you got to let me know how those fit! Icon seems to be running a size small.

The Best Gloves I have ever owned (probably last till I die) are my Lee Parks Gloves. I bought them when I needed gauntlet gloves for the track in 2006. Since them I also have purchased a pair of his cold weather gloves. These two set of gloves are the only gloves I have worn since 2006

When back home I have to go to the SCIF (Secure, Compartmental, Information Facility) in Louisville every month and while there I always stop by Cycle Gear.  I would say they have the best selection of gloves around. the carry about 20-30 different styles.   Besides them Iron Pony in Columbus has the next best. When I'm home  for R&R, in 30 days(!), I'm going to plan on taking a trip up there.  Since I've lost 15 pounds and 3 inches since I've left I know my pants aren't going to fit anymore.

I think Rob already has his new gloves now, as that was posted back in July. The shop he walking about though Zar is the Motorcycle Superstore. They have a warehouse in Louisville, and recently opened up an actual store front for the public. It used to just be a warehouse to fill online orders.

Figured he already made the buy Chaos but also figured it wouldn't hurt to post just in case. I have not been out to Superstore but from what the ones that have gone tell me it's pretty slim pickins'. I don't think any of the crew has found anything yet to buy.

It's all good I was just letting everyone know. Yea, I went to the Superstore before their Grand Opening, and I was pretty dissapointed. I was hoping that they were going to have everything for sale that they have on their website, but they didn't. It could've been a lot better.

I did get some gloves with gel palms but only used them twice. They just don't even compare to the icons. With the icons I feel as though I'm not wearing gloves. I'll have to make a trip up to iron pony so I can find the perfect fit. For now you'll just have to deal with me slowing you down while I struggle to get my gloves on at the meets, atleast till I get my ass up there.
