Gloves

[TGriffith]

Anyone have recommendations on gloves?  What to buy, and where to buy from?  Tea-Coach, I know you recently got a pair, and heard you found a great price, too.  What kind did you get, and do you like them?
Thanks

I got a set of Held Profi's from our good friends at BMW Pittsburgh.  They're not cheap, but definitely the best gloves I've ever owned. 
I believe Teacoach got a set of Held Galaxy's, which is a step up from the Profi.  He got his from newenough.com.

I couldn't find any "Held" gloves at that site, but these gloves look pretty good for the money: http://www.newenough.com/alpinestars_sp1_gloves_page.htm
(just $90 !)  Of course, I'll check out BMW Pittsburgh - since I'm 700 miles OVER my 600-mile break-in check-up!

The SP1 looks pretty nice.  I found some reviews here:

Ironically, I just got an email from Dennis Kirk on some closeouts.  The Alpine Stars GP Pro ($180 at newenough.com) is on a closeout at Dennis Kirk for $120.  Here are some deals:

Stopped at the BMW shop... those "Held" gloves are very nice.  I'd love to get the top-of-the-line pair... but will probably settle for the "Ninja Art" pair... once I get approval from the budget committee!!!
