While shopping my local Tractor Supply for bowser chow for my Jack Russel Terrierists, I saw these gloves on the rack for just $20. Deer skin and soft as silk. Medium was a perfect fit and I wore them yesterday on an all day ride. Comfortable from 55F to 75F and wear like a second skin.

Jack Russel Terrierists
I love deerskin gloves and wear them year round even in winter (inside the snowmobile mitts with the heated grip on the ST). Soft, supple, comfortable. I have 3 pair, 2 cuff length and 1 gauntlet. Each cost a lot more than $20 lol. Looks like a great find birds. Color is even cool and retro.

I reckon they saw you coming redbirds and whipped out a few yellow pairs to match your helmet! Still, they look like a good deal.

Bought my riding gloves for decades at the big box home improvement stores, excellent value on good leather gloves - never could tell what you'd find.
Carry a pair identical to that under my bikes seat. Also bought a larger pair that I wear over wool finger gloves for cooler weather.
Makes then ugly but snoseal or another good quality boot waterproofing wax works wonders for wet weather.

Nice gloves. We have discussed this in another thread but don't be surprised, when that deer launches itself at you, to hear, "That was my Mom you .....!"

. Cheers

I sport the deer skins as well, most of the time. !! Nice find redbirds, look like the same ones i have. Super comfortable until you get caught in the rain. Pretty much ruined mine that way...

How are they for use in the summertime?
do they make the hands sweat?

My guess is they may be too warm on a hot summer day. Held onto my well worn vented summer gloves for those days.
