Glove suggestions?
« on: February 05, 2011, 08:34:54 PM »
I'm having a hard time finding gloves that don't have vent holes or kangaroo palms.  I'm bringing my ZX14 in April, but haven't found gloves yet.  Looking for suggestions.
Thanks,
Rich

Unless there was a rules change, perfs between the fingers are allowed in Maxton.  I also find it hard to believe kangaroo would be turned away as both it and stingray are 'hides' versus synthetics.

Thanks to all for the help.  I end up in the local Cycle Gear at least once every couple of weeks.  I thought no perforations would include the holes down the sides of fingers on gloves.  The guys at the store couldn't find any without some kind of holes either, so I thought I would check here.  Glad I did.
Thanks,
Rich

I have worn high end Alpinestars for 3 years at Maxton and they have perfs between the fingers.  I am pretty sure only the SCTA won't allow them as I have seen them at BUB and also worn them at Loring.
