The final frontier - gloves made in the US. No Chinese or Third World products, please. Moo cow or deer skin would be good. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd want something perforated for Summer and a set that would be good down to around 45 degrees for the cooler weather. I have heated gloves which are pretty warm even with unplugged so my cold weather riding is covered. Thanks in advance. | ||

http://www.leeparksdesign.com/gloves/ Last I checked they were made in the People's Republic of California. I'm on my second pair of Deer Sports. I wear the unlined one's year round, even below freezing (with heated grips.) | ||

I've got a pair of Aerostich Elkskin gauntlets that I love, and they've lasted for many thousands of miles and a few years. I have wide hands with short fingers, so I had a local cobbler who works on hockey gloves shorten the fingers so they fit my hands well. In fact, I'm sitting in a Golden Starches in Brookfield, Missouri drinking a Senior coffee (.84) while the gloves sit on my saddlebags drying out after getting caught in the rain. http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-elkskin-gauntle t-gloves-24.html | ||

I have these lee parks gloves... http://www.leeparksdesign.com/deertours-pci-black/ Not magic, and at first I was thinking "not worth the money". But they are wearing really well and working really well and I'm growing to appreciate them. | ||

For hot weather I use Vanson perforated gloves. | ||

+1 Lee Park Deer Tours I'm on my second pair, the first ones lasted about 4 years before I wore holes in the fingers. These are the best gloves I have used. The more you wear them the more comfortable they become. The tanning will wash out if you're caught in the rain and you'll have orange hands for a while. |
