First Long Ride Discoveries

[LongRanger_imp]

Re: gloves...seams on the palm bother me the most. I've found [url=http://leeparksdesign.com/deersports/]Lee Parks Deersports to be the most comfortable with the best tactile feel on the controls. There is some stitching on the lower palms for the abrasion pad, but it doesn't create a rub zone unless you apply a death grip.

Re: seat...I have an aftermarket seat on both my bikes. I am more comfortable with a firmer foam that doesn't over-compress while riding.

Re: physical comfort in general. I always take a NSAID before and after a long ride. Seems to help ward off aches and pains.

Of course you wear Deersports. Why do I say that? So do I. There is zero separation ibetween what we ride, or now, what we wear. I bought my most recent pair in 2005. They probably have 60,000 miles on them by now and are still going strong.

"Pardon me. Would you have any Grey Poupon?" "But of course!"

I'm way (way) behind you in miles (50k) and years (5) riding, but after three ill-fated attempts with well-reviewed "Transformers" gloves from Revzilla...Lee Parks' philosophy of reduction to essential function was convincing to me, and has been borne out in practical experience. The Deersports are exceptional motorcycle gloves in performance and value.

Oh crap, I lied. I have the DeerSports, not the DeerTours. Same idea but with a longer gauntlet.
