I'm on a bit of a glove kick right now, apparently.

Didn't intend to buy another pair, but was at that point on http://www.motorcyclegear.com where I could pay for shipping, or buy something else to bump me over the free shipping minimum.

They have these Scorpion Bixby gloves on clearance for $35, so I grabbed a pair. Wasn't expecting much, but am quite impressed with them. They are very dark brown, and are pretty warm. I have ridden to work with them for the past few days, around 50 degrees F in the morning, and my hands haven't been too cold.

Pretty good bargain!

They look good.

Real leather?

I prefer a gauntlet glove.

They're goatskin leather. Pretty substantial.

Hard to get a good picture of the color, but here's a comparison next to a black glove that I carry for colder temps.

Nice gloves Gone

Do you prefer zipper or velcro?

Zipper's seem more classic unlike velcro's a modern type, like them both.
All gloves I have are velcro's , zippers are more problematic, I guess??

The zipper is weird... zipped up, it still allows the glove to be pulled off with a little effort. I just leave them unzipped, so I can put them over my jacket cuffs on cold mornings. Plus, those are thick winter gloves, so it's hard to zip them up once they are on anyway. But, they're very comfy and warm. I keep them in my Givi since the weather has been weird lately. The high winds bring warmer air, so I haven't had to use them for the past few days.

In years passed I used Held summer gloves in the warmer months but in 2020 I only used gauntlet gloves as they give much better protection , also from Held .

Just got back from an evening ride. Was 2.4C at around 8:45 pm. Street were quiet, easy to get around and essentially no cages to bother me. The ride was bliss. Didn't need the heat turned on in my gloves.
