I have a pair of Dainese gloves that I've used for the past couple of years and I like them, but the stitching started going last year. Fortunately so far not in any of the key structural areas. I've also got some Alpinestar gloves that I'm happy with as well, but only started using them earlier this year (hi-viz models).
Those Helimot's look pretty darn nice, and you can't beat having something custom made just for you (as long as you can afford it). I've never heard of them before. The larger companies like Dainese and Alpinestar surely have more R&D to draw from, but in general, I tend to prefer the quality of products produced by a number of the smaller sized manufacturers, although once again, it does tend to cost more.
Rolls, thanks for the heads up on the Helimots.
