  1. Tried a medium too long in finger and baggy so went with a small in.the end... first pair of gloves in a long time that has internal stitching which takes some getting used to...buggers feel tight as well as feeling the stitching

    Any tips for breaking in..maybe rub in renapur?

  2. Just wear them. They'll soon feel better. My Handroid were the same.
     
  3. I have a set of biomech and I love them. Took a while for me to get used to the palm protection plastic
     
  4. Ditto on the handroid.
    Best gloves I've owned.
    They take a few weeks to break in then they fit like a glove:)
     
  5. Ive the biomech but heres a tip for leather gloves and boots from my DM wearing days. With DM's i used to full the bath with hot water and stand in it with them on, kneel etc and generally move around. Yep they get wet. Do this for 10-15mins then fill em with newspaper and let them dry. The same goes with leather gloves. I did the same to my biomech. All my boots and gloves fit like - a glove. Remember wearing them when warm and wet puts the creases and folds in, so wear them and flex fingers etc.

    Yeah, the palm protection plastic is my only gripe. I broke my scaphoid on my right and teh plastic protection can press on it and make it tender after a long period.

    great gloves, not the best. That award goes to my old set of kangaroo Kushitani's.
     
  6. I have a few pairs of the handroids and also the winter version. They are a bitch to break in, particularly the left hand is a problem as the palm protection is pretty uncomfortable for a while. I know from experience, that after a few rides they start to get sorted and once you've got them sorted, easily the best gloves I own - they fit like a errr glove in fact (as @bootsam would say).

    It's bizarre that they are painful at first then switch to being very comfortable. I have a new pair about half done and they are just starting to be OK. Given people often buy on the basis of comfort in the shop, I'm amazed they sell any as brand new they are a challenge.
