How do you think they will do in a off? The frist thing you do when you fall is to put your hand down.:thumbup:

I bought same exact pair of gloves from Amazon about 3 years ago when I just started riding.
I think I wasted $35 at these.
I wore them once and whilst being somewhat warm, they were so uncomfortable that it was hard to control the bike.
Bottom line is that they are better than nothing. But guess what? I never wore them again. Pretty much wasted money.

It's all going in the right direction, hopefully you never get to test their abrasion resistance.
Good job on the boots too.

I've had a pair exactly like those for literally decades.
For NON -electric gloves, they work great!! You'll be pretty happy with them. With the gauntlet end, they'll slip right over your sleeves..:thumbup:

Hay, you're looking like a responsible biker in the photo.:thumbup:
I bought a pair of those for my BRC course that I took in the fall. The temps were cool and it was raining for one our days. I still have them and will use them on my ride to work with the temps around 40 degrees and then switch to lighter more protective gloves in the afternoon for my ride home. I suppose sometimes it is a tradeoff. Subscribing to ATGATT is paramount, but sometimes you have make do with what you have today, until you can get what you want tomorrow. :rockon:

Ha, for the first week when I finally become a motorcyclist n00b, I wore boat shoes, shorts, and a short sleeved shirt with a 3/4 helmet.
We all start humbly and somewhat stupid.
I am just saying that, whilst it's okay to get cheaper gear, but spending a little bit more money would have gotten you better gloves.
You are gonna have to upgrade soon enough.

Good you decided to get gear, a lot of horrible AGATT stories here.

Nobody can argue with free.:thumbup:
At least you didn't waste any money on them. Free is always good!
Upgrade will be cheaper now, lol.
