Along with my purchase of the Xplorer jacket and knee guards from BBG, i also bought the full gauntlet gloves at Rs 4000, which are the only ones they offer except the winter/water proof full gauntlet gloves.
After trying on the DSG primal and Aspida Ares , which fits my budget, i tried on the BBG full gauntlet gloves and there it was. The comfort and protection it offers at the price point is awesome.
These are full gauntlet leather gloves with ample amount of protection to the wrist, palm,fingers and knuckles. It has carbon protection at the fingers and on the knuckles. Extra protection to the pinky finger and the palms. The knuckle protectors sit on the second layer of the gloves which offers better knuckle protection.
The fingers are a little pre curved which makes the movement easy. The grip is excellent and feels a snug fit gloves yet very comfortable for touring. I had very sore knuckles during the breakin on my Bangalore ride, but it went off after the first 2k kms. I would say it took a more time to break in.
They are breathable with a pretty good airflow. Although during my goa ride in January last week, I had a bit of sweating on the costal road. Might be due to more humidity and slow speeds on the costal goa highway, but i was feeling a bit if heat. This eventually waded off at dawn.
The gloves have double velcro straps at the wrist and a small adjustment strap below the palm. This makes the gloves fit well and do not move. There is carbon protection on the wrist too and an ample diameter to tuck the jacket in the gloves.
The gloves are going good after 4000kms and i do not see any wear and tear yet. Also, the beat thing in comfort i likes is that the stitching at the finger tips is though inside, but its soft and i do jot feel a thing ! Feels like it is on the outside and doesn't hurt my finger tips like some other gloves I read the reviews about.
Overall , its a good buy for me and my requirements. Do PM me if you need to anything more about this.
