Most of us when we hit the ground use out hand to catch our fall, stabilize during a slide or something along those lines. For that reason I like leather gauntlet gloves for hand/wrist protection. Aside from that, how hard is it to wear some gloves?

I can attest to this one...
These were taken in '97 after a high speed crash with full gear on (tucked the front) HOWEVER, the gloves I was wearing that day were baseball batting gloves that disintegrated on impact. They offered absolutely no protection.
This was just about the only damage to me. So obviously i wouldn't recommend "cheap mittens".
