Not sure where you live, but most places really call for summer and winter gloves (above or below about 50 degrees F). Trying to find one glove that really does all that you're asking in all weather (at that price) is going to be impossible me thinks unless you live where the temps don't change much year round.

ya, i hear ya. thats why i'm havin such a hard time. i live in Cali, but its been really wet and cold lately. anyway, i was sort of hoping i could get something i could also wear next summer, since i dont want to spend so much cash on gloves again.

but thx for your advice Ray, i'm just gonna go with what i think is good for now, and maybe have to spring for summer gloves later. thx again,

I have a pair of alpinestars I'll sell for cheap. I bought them a size too small, wore them twice thinking maybe they'd feel a liitle better, but I'd rather buy a bigger size.

There size Large. $60 shipped
