I've been looking for a new pair of gloves.

My very high end Dainese gloves (which were $$$ served me well, did their job in my accident- and zero damage to my hands.

That being said- although they are still 100% usable (just scratches across the metal knuckle plates) they had some things I thought could be improved on- namely comfort and airflow.

But- I didn't want to give up on any safety. You will be amazed at how many gloves off very little protection- or some in some areas but not others.

What I found is in many gloves- you can get a feature, or another- but try to get both and the options drop to next to nothing. And most options that have several quality features are only on full race gloves in weird colors- and meant for the track.

I've spent more than the last year looking around- and haven't been able to find a glove that met what I was looking for.

I found them- in a brand that I had dismissed earlier as being a 'fashion' brand and mistakenly thought they made all show no go stuff.

After watching countless video reviews and looking at websites all around the world- I stumbled upon the Roland Sand F luck Gloves.

Tag-lined as "built for the track but at home on the street."- they aren't kidding. "With a 1.1-mm - 1.3mm premium cowhide and goatskin construction combined with KNOX armor and TPU impact zones these gloves offer the gnarliest protection yet are designed to be comfortable for everyday riding"

They have raised sliders on the entire finger- accordion stretch on the finger joints and back of hand. Complete knuckle cap guard w/ raised sliders. Double leather layer on the pinky AND the pinky is tied together secured to the ring finger like race gloves to help keep it from braking.

Touchscreen index finger- goat skin bottom, Knox slider / impact protection at the base of the palm as well as a large shield at the side of your wrist.

All comes together with a perforated leather for breath-ability- and a velcro closure that has it's own impact / slide protection.

These gloves are insane with the complete set of protection with quality thick leather, combined with airflow, goatskin palm.. wow.

Only problem? When I found them- they were already discontinued and out of stock everywhere... except one place I found them - only in large- but at a greatly discounted price from new!

If you wear a large and appreciate what they have to offer you can still get them for $115 and shipping-

They look super nice, PD. How's the flexibility and palm comfort?

Superb. And I bet they will break in even better.

After writing this all out, and realizing the difficulty in finding this combination of comfort / quality / safety / not race bike- I am very tempted to buy another pair to hold onto for the future when something like this might not be around. So much so that I already added them to cart last night and was about to put my CC in. I still might.

for some reason they look super fat-fingered in the pictures. i'd be interested in seeing them on the hand. Finger dexterity and flexibility is super important to me.

They just look that way because of how the leather is roll tucked into the accordion at the knuckle that allows the flex and dexterity.

Give me a minute and I’ll upload a video showing flexibility.

You sure they don’t make them anymore? I was able to add every size to my cart on their website.

You might want to check again.

At least for me on both my computer and my phone if you look it says stock zero.

Odd, it let’s me go all the way to the cart but I don’t see a “stock” value on the page or the shopping cart checkout window. I am using an iPad but I also have a pi-hole blocking adds, cookies and some javascript. I wonder what would happen if I checked out. Did you try calling them maybe to see if they are indeed out of stock? Might be worth it to get a backup pair if they are a perfect set of gloves.

The only thing that looks like it might be a deal breaker on those for me is the stitching on the bottom of the fingers that is scrunching up the leather. I feel like that would be annoying under my fingers somehow.

**Edit: I turned of my add blocker on the network edge and I do see a stock notifier now. Looks like they only have 2XL and 3XL in stock.

Nice gloves , I really like the Held gloves and have 5 pairs of them as they fit me well and have a lot of protection.
