  1. It's gettin pretty darn cold around here and I also have a slight tendon
    injury in my lifting hand so I thought some gloves would be a great
    thing to ask for, for christmas.

    I'm looking for suggestions of a good uni glove. Price isn't really a
    big issue.

    Thanks for any help,

    Jack

  2. Look in a bicycle store, always something cool to find.

  3. I recommend Brooklyn Machine Works English Knick's gloves. They're made
    of kevlar and have a carbon fiber knuckle.

    That or 661 cedrics. That has a CF knuckle too.

  4. Ironclad work gloves are terrific. They come in many different styles
    and can be purchased online or at your local hardware store.
    www.iclad.com/ I like the general utility. Use those with Harbinger
    230W WristWrap (R) Wrist Guards
    http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=395 and you'll have
    warmth and protection.

  5. Harbingers are good for protection, but not so much as winter gloves
    (nothing around the ends of your fingers)

  6. i've used bike gloves, ironclads of sorts, and a few general mechanic's
    gloves. i like the general mechanic gloves because they're cheap, and
    if you look well you can get some pretty comfy ones.

    I really like the Kris Holm "Pulse" gloves. They're full fingered, the
    wrist support is great, they're quite warm, they take to machine
    washing well, and I can still fit my Garmin unit over the wrist wrap
    with no problems. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

  8. I like these: ' Sette Signature Full Finger Gloves'
    (http://tinyurl.com/96vad)

    They are cheap too at $15 !

    I used to use Harbingers, but I definitely didn't like the
    half-fingered part of them. I would probably like the KH Pulse, but
    I've never tried them.

    But for me, I want really inexpensive. Something always seems to
    happen to my gloves. For example, one pair got half-eaten by a dog.
    So keep that in mind!

    Later,

    Jess

  9. i just watch for sales on the 661 dirt jumping gloves. for anything
    other than serious muni i HATE a padded palm, i think it gets in the
    way. the dirt jumping/motoX gloves have nonpadded palms, grip well, and
    are tough as all hell. i just got a new pair for $12 or so at
    jensonusa.com.
