Recommendations for gloves?

Anyone care to make some recommendations on gloves. Looking for something in the $100 range.

Looking at these two so far...

I can't tell you what to get, but I can tell you what not to get. My Buell gloves suck ass they are falling apart near the velcro. Not that you wanted Buell gloves lol but they are a real piece of shit.

If only they were all black or something, I probably would have bought those already, but I'm looking for a more neutral color.

I have the A*'s air carbon gloves. they were 55 bucks on sale. orignaly 75 i think. great gloves. has lasted me 1 and 3/4 seasons of riding. id say i put 9-10k miles on them. they are a light glove and just meant for street riding.

really comfy and just finally had to cut off the tip of my middle finger off due to wear and tear. tearing up on pinky too. really like that carbon knuckle tho.

Super good people there. I'd reccomend the Held gloves.

Then again, I've had the same Olympia full gauntlet gloves for over 7 years and they are still great.

Get external seams!!

Whatever gloves you get, get ones with external seams on the fingers.

TRUST ME!!

How in the ?!#$ did you get 9-10k out of those gloves? You riding with your hands on the bars right?? I have that same pair of gloves, and have had the non carbon knuckled ones as well (basically the same glove), and they do not hold up very well at all... Not saying they are a bad glove because I do love the fit and feel, they just don't last worth crap...
