Default best leather gloves?

Lots of discussion about boots and jackets but what are the best Leather Gloves?

I don't mean just cold weather gloves but who makes the best leather gloves that you wear every ride for protection in case of a "get off" at speed?

Highest comfort/quality?

Subscribing to this thread to see what others are using. I've been a HD glove user for a while - but was getting tired of paying $50 bucks for gloves that wore out pretty quick. Picked up a pair of full-fingered Milwaukee gloves at Biketoberfest - and they have been great this winter. I live in Florida, so I've ridden a good bit from October til now, and I am pleased. Gonna pick up a pair of summer gloves at Bike Week.

Deer and Elk skin gloves are great for spring and summer (very comfortable).

Pick me,,,, Pick me,,, I love Whats the best questions..........

chit,,,,,,,,,, I forgot what it was.......

OHhhh i know,,,, V&H's BSL's... jk-ing

it'd be hard to actually pick one as the best...

imo one that would protect well would be too thick for comfort in the summer..

I wear Turtleskins. I bought them for work (LEO), they have Kevlar in the palms, suppose to help protect from knife cuts, needles, or sharp objects. They work great for riding gloves. Bought them through Galls.com.

Isotoners, if they are good enough for Dan Marino they are good enough for you.

Kerr leathes for me, not too many people use or mention them here on this forum, I'm not sure why, but I have had my gloves for a long time and they garunteed for life! I have winter gloves as well, but my kerr gloves are the best I have ever had. Also got my jacket and vest from them and still have them. Made is the USA and the quality is unsurpassed. http://www.kerrleathers.com/index.html
