Grip yer grips

I'm had this pair of Mechanix Polar Pro for a year now, only used for riding
€67.95
nice leather palm, holding up well
rear of hand and fingers, knuckle protection isn't the best, there is extra padding but no hardened plastic protection, these were never designed for motorcycling
where the rubber meets the road, some light scuffing
short cuff just barely covers my jacket sleeve, depends on the jacket
the inner lining includes 100gram thinsulate, stitched in! so the inner lining in the fingers stays in place, wrapped in neoprene in places and is apparently waterproof,
I've had them out in rain showers and my hands remained dry, nothing too heavy yet.
I've worn them all year round, in the hottest days I get a little clammy and my fingers get a little sore when the temperature drops below 5 degrees celsius (without heated grips),
I have worn them with and without heated grips and they have not been damaged by the heat.
All in all, these are my favourite gloves, good weather protection, o.k. impact protection, great feel for the controls and grip and look good too!
