A friend of mine with a bike that looks similar to yours wears deerskin or pigskin working gloves with the draw string. It works and looks cool for him. This is an idea I am considering for myself also.

I've got a pair of HD Mesh gloves. Probably paid too much but I sure like them. Better than my old pair of perforated leather gloves.

Last summer I bought the HD mesh gloves- worked great on hot days- as I recall, reasonably priced but no real protection if you are into that sort of thing. Nice bike by-the-way!!!

i had bought a pair of river road perforated leather gloves with gel inserts in the palms. liked them, very comfortable. however, they didn't last but one season (we ride year round in la so about a year). spent the extra money on a pair of hd perforated leather gloves, did not have the gel insert, but a padded palm. they are very comfortable, and are going on their 3rd year.

we don't have a lot of choices around here, but in my case, 3 pair of river road = much more $ than one pair of hd.....

I have the HD mesh gloves for when it's hot. Otherwise I wear my Fox Creek leather gloves.

thats what I wear and I really like them. They still get wet on a really hot day however, so I'm looking at the HD mesh.

I wear the Mechanix gloves you can get at Autozone. Work well, fit nice and snug, come in all black and cost $20
