Yes leather sets with time, sometimes it is just tight, and when it's sunny it's flexible, when it's cold, it just shrinks up and makes crinkles in your palm and hand with reddish rashes after a prolonged period of driving say 100s of KMS with stopping, happened to me.

If your wrist pains, stop the bike, flex your muscles a bit and then carry on, hardly takes five mins, I do that all the time. But set-in will take in if you keep on wearing it daily.

Got these today
Was using the cheap probiker gloves till yesterday. My wrist hurts like hell and the whole experience was bad, I guess leather gloves need some getting used to.
Built quality is above average, not excellent. No loose threads or anything.
Pretty happy with purchase

I've never heard of gloves causing wrist pain before. How do your new gloves cause pain in the wrist? is it due to chafing or rubbing or because of stress. Normally wrist pain is indicative of improper stance on the bike.

I guess you can go to Karol Bagh for good helmets. There are lots of good helmets in the sub 3k range. I'd suggest you go for Studds or Vega. But why don't you try Studds Scorpion, super value for money helmet.

This gloves has some elastic thing on the wrist so maybe they caused the pain or my riding position as you said.. Anyway it's gone now, gloves feels much better.

At first all elastic are supposed to bite you hard, more or like (underwear) as you wear it contracts and then at a point it just feels snug, not too tight, not too loose. But don't try to manually expand it, it might work well, but then you'd end up having even bigger band which will make the elastic useless!

I have been using cortech injector gloves for more than 2.5 years(daily commuting plus tours) and it seems I ll need new pairs soon. For the time being I need a pair of leather riding gloves for city use. I have Cramster twister in my mind. I don't want to spend more than 2k and as such skeptical about DSG revive. Any other options?

The glove you've zeroed in on are pretty much good gloves for the price paid. For more info, go back a few pages, you will find reviews of some gloves with photos. Why don't you try Spartan Phaeton, at 1700 bucks

I have mailed Spartan gears for more pictures of Phaeton as on the website only side visuals are available. No pics of construction are there.
Has anyone tried Phaeton or Pegasus. When compared to DSG revive, does Pegasus fare better.

I think one guy here posted a review of a Sparan glove, not Phaeton, buy Ares I think. Budget gloves are, for most part always the same, there isn't too big a difference. Many have used the REVIVE and NITRO gloves here and have posted good reviews.
