I always wear gloves, evem when riding around town. I have about 5 pairs that fit me. I remember when I was younger getting half glove tan (from half finger gloves). EDIT: so far my favorite gloves are deffinatly Sombrio. It seems that who ever tests their gloves has the exact same size hands as me....

i agree that the feel is better without gloves, but when it gets sweaty, gloves give you more lasting grip.

i hate my glove tan though... so whenever i'm just purely riding to and from places, i don't wear gloves to compensate.

but mainly, i wear gloves to save my precious handskin... hands are used for everything from peeing, to eating, to brushing your teeth... it's hella annoying when your hands are stinging/cut/rashed up.

Does anybody have any suggestions for gloves of stellar quality or fit? What's everybody riding with? For my everyday stuff, I ride with a cheap pair of Fox gloves, don't know what model though. And for my DH, like Whistler riding, I use a pair of the 661 Cedrics with the knuckle gaurd. They are great for tree branches and shit, but I think I might upgrade to the Dakine Defenders.

i used to always wear some but not anymore. I only wear mine when im gunna be riding hard and falling alot and stuff. the man reason i wear em is because otherwise i sweat and my hands slip too much on my grips.

I nearly always wear gloves unless im just nipping out to the shops.. I've been riding motorbikes for years and always wear gloves so it just doesnt feel right if I go out with out gloves.

i never wear gloves. i feel less safe with them on and more control with them off. also, worn down ruffians are SUPER grippy without gloves. i may wear them if its cold though
