I am not an enthusiast of high-tech, fancy bike gloves. In fact, for the past 13 years, my best safety gloves are actually a couple of utilitarian, multi-use Olympia motorbike gloves that come with an adjustable high gauntlet, along with sturdy knuckle and palm guards. And that's about it! In short, these are fundamental riding gloves.
However my journey with those robust Olympia safety gloves ultimately ended after a few fingertips finally wore through. The solution was to replace them with Olympia's newest release, the 410 Gel Sport, that's essentially a refined version of what I have been carrying since the late 90's. Similar features include the extensive gauntlet with very useful hook-and-loop adjustment and strengthened (dual-layer leather) in important places.
However the newer gloves are improved, and also have silicone gel extra padding in the palms for increased comfort, plus a unique side cut in the gauntlet for much easier fit over jacket sleeves. Otherwise, the 410 resembles to what I have been previously wearing, so there are no bulging composite guards on the knuckles, or articulated finger pads to encumber the ride. Even though Olympia comes with a the same glove with insulating material (4350 All Season I), there's no padding in the 410 to further separate my hand from feeling the controls. Simply speaking, the 410 Gel Sport safety gloves are the ideal alternative to the worn-out and torn safety gloves that was with me for countless memorable miles.
Motorbike Carrying Pack
Adaptability is really a important asset for bike gear luggage. A tote need to haul adequate cargo, be simple and convenient to use, and match a number of motorcycles. The Overnight bag from H-D is such a carrier, one which is attached to a passenger bar or, because of its 16-1/2"x 12"x 11" measurements, stores on top of or inside a Tour-Pak.
The bag is made of formed 1,680-denier ballistic nylon material that retains its form and contains a UV-resistant covering to help its black color stand up to the sun's rays. Reflective 3M Scotchlite lining enhances night time visibility by other vehicles, and an bundled 190-denier, rip-stop nylon rain cover that tucks into among the two-zipper sided pockets assists in maintaining your gear dry throughout foul weather conditions biking. Shaped zipper holders are simple to work with even with gloves, plus a simple nylon net inside of the main section's cavernous opening helps prevent objects from dropping out when searching your gear.
The Overnight carrier has a Spandex mount mechanism that slips over the bike's passenger bar, as well as a number of plastic-type D-rings (2 on each and every corner) for linking bungee cords, additionally two shortened, web-nylon bands enable you to easily pack the Overnight carrier securely into the motorbike. I usually found it best to make use of more bungee cords to prevent load shift. An oversize handgrip makes it easy to carry your carrier from motorbike to hotel room. A detachable shoulder band is also supplied.
