Default The best gloves money can buy

Sold my GP pros (never broke in the way I expected... fit wasn't quite right). Got a pair of held phantoms. They live up to the hype. AMAZING quality. I understand now why soooo many racers run these gloves. They are the shit.

Also grabbed a pair of teknic speedstar knee pucks to replace the shitty chicane ones that came with my pants... they were very thin and initially I didn't have them positioned quite perfectly and one time my leather touched and the edge of the puck, instead of the puck face itself and I almost crashed... These are nicer.

Held are some seriously nice gloves. Best in the business from what I've read.

You can get the chicanes for aroun 175. If you're a fatass, I just found them at newenough closeout for 140, killer deal:

I looked at those a10's, and they're def a* low-end model... a lot of textile on there... and don't come with pucks... but it's your call.

I would get the chicanes. I'm not sure, but I THINK the zipper zipped counterclockwise when I got them, and had to reverse it. Not sure, though. If you have an agvsport or joe rocket jacket, it's the opposite direction of those... those are the two jackets I have...

I'm pretty sure you are right. They zip counter clockwise.
