    Need more Harley logos. I wish each finger had a logo, top and bottom. Also need a logo on the inside of the gloves so it makes an indentation on my skin. That way when I take them off, people will still know I own a Harley.

    Wasted effort. Most cool people will cut the fingers off anyway…

    Prefer my gloves to be a gauntlet style so they come up and over the bottom of the jacket sleeve.
    makes sure no draught gets in.
    Also like armour at least it gives you some protection not just for crashes but debris , birds etc. often come through about glove height.

    Because I live in a temperate climate I have to have winter and summer gloves. I ride 12 months of the year. Light gloves in winter do not hack it even with the handle grip warmers on and winter gloves make your hands sweat like a rapists in the summer months.

    I cannot ride at the moment, I fell off my mountain bike early Feb and smashed my heel into a number of bits which resulted in a plate and 10 screws.
    Frustration is driving me crazy. Not to mention boredom and the lure of the Scotch bottle.
    Summer is running away and by the time I can ride again we will be in the depths of our winter.

    Like my Surgeon said “Life is a risk”

    Just turn the regular seam gloves inside out, so the seams are on the outside, giving maximum grip, while your fingers have a baby smooth haven!

    To think it took them 111 years to come up with these amazing innovations …

    I wonder if the goats are Chinese? Also do they have the HD logo on them before they are made into gloves? ..Z

    When are the Rushmore fanny packs to be introduced to store the gloves

    Wow another set of riding gloves and still not a jacket that addresses the gap between the gloves and the jacket sleeve.. It is funny I own gauntlet gloves with the fingers cut off.. Yes, this way I don’t get that 2 inch “Bikers Tan” across my wrist.

    Where were the gel-padded palm gloves when I was riding a BSA single 50 years ago. Worried about the gap between gloves and jacket , gauntlet gloves solve that, but cutting the fingers off, doesn’t sound like the smartest move. Just sayin’

    HD needs to offer a straight, plain five inch gauntlet….
