Thanks everyone for your input, I wanted quality so I ended up deciding on the Alpenstine GP PRO GLOVES.

these are a dead set copy of my teknic gloves, right down to the abrasive resistant pads on the outside lower palm. if they are built the same, they are fucking fantastic gloves. had 2 lowsides in them (both diesel on roundabouts early in the morning) and they have held up really well; small scrapes in the knuckles! only real problem is the coloured leather on the back of the hand tends to lose its colour after 6 months, and the piping flakes after 12 months.

oh, and i paid $150 for these from a chuck out specials bin, originally $300 ( :shock: fmd!)
Yep Ive got a set & I think they are great!

There's a UK magazine called Ride that does regular destruction testing of Bike clothing. Some manufacturers hate them because the magazine doesn't (never used to) take kick backs.

Might be worth looking at recent issues to see if they have done gloves...
