The Pace Podcast, Ep. 101
This time we chat about gloves. Why do you need them? How much should you spend? What’s the difference between $20 and $100 gloves anyway?
Make sure you don’t miss: Gloves 101.
Racer High End Gloves
My favorite pair of gloves on the planet are being discontinued. 
Better get them while you still can.
$20 v. $100 motorcycle gloves
If you haven’t read my latest newsletter, then you probably don’t know about my new number. In addition to sending me an email, writing on my facebook fan page, or sending me a tweet, you can now text your questions to my new 24-7 hotline, 415-857-GEAR. I’ll do my best to post an answer asap.
My first question just came in from the 407 area code from Steve, who found me when he listened my interviews on The Pace Podcast. Thanks Steve!
“Can you tell me why twenty dollar leather work gloves are not sufficient gloves.”
Answer: Well a glove that cheap can’t offer any protective value other than being leather. Although that’s fine, it’s the bare minimum and you need more than that.
“What more protection do hundred dollar gloves do? Do they protect from breaking fingers?”
Ride Review on Asphalt & Rubber

Check out this scooter review I wrote for Asphalt & Rubber on the 2012 Yamaha Zuma 50F Scooter. You know you want one!
Big thanks to Dainese and the D-Store San Francisco for providing the G.Alice Tex Jacket and Drake Air Textile Pants. My Shoei Qwest Goddess helmet, AlpineStars Stella Tyla gloves and Gaerne Rose boots were provided by GearChic.
I’ll be collaborating a bit more with my friends at A&R in the coming months, so stay tuned. 
Racer High End Gloves
If you’re looking for the perfect year round riding glove (~60-80 degrees), read my review of the Racer High End gloves.
Because right now, you can find them for almost 50% off retail ($199.95) at RoadRider in San Jose, CA. Since this color scheme was discontinued last year, that’s why they’re clearing them out at this price!
You’ll never find kangaroo palm gloves like these for this price. So if you need a pair of gloves and you’re a small or a large, you’re in luck.
As of this post, they no longer have any women’s medium gloves left, but still have sizes Small and Large left. They fit very true to size. Call them and let Dave know I sent you.
