I am choosing between a FULL METAL RACER or A* GP TECH gloves and the new white Vertigo Corsas or the DAI AXIAL RACE new.

All suggestions and feedback would be much appreciated.

don't know about the Full metal gloves, but the GP Tech gloves are awesome, very comfortable. only issue I have is the thumb is a little long, all of the other fingers fit fine, but the thumb is long. they are extremely comfy , so I look past the thumb issue

GP TECH AND CORSA'S> dainese's all day long. the dainese are not that great just rocked by rossi so everyone loves them

Thanks, oldirty and UNV. Yeah. I was inclined towards the A* and Sidis because of Dai's build quality especially with the FMR. Sidi wins!

a* gloves and sidi boots.

i'm on ,my second set of gp techs. great gloves. crashed in the pair. got hit by a car. they held up very nicely. finally wore out after over a year of riding in hawaii. lots of sweat and rain. hawaii is cool to visit but really ghey if you live here.

Thanks, 711! I already placed an order for the black ones. I tried the mediums on and they don't fit. I always wear mediums. Based on an article I read, they tend to run large and the person who wrote the article, who like me, uses a medium was happy with the S. Do you have issues with the sizing? The M was lengthy on the fingers and somewhat loose.

Interesting that you read that they run large, because my last pair of A* gloves ran a bit SMALL. I wear a Large Dainese glove (which I dont really like) but a XL Alpinestars.

i have big hands. the first gloves i had were gp pro's. i got XL. should have gotten XXL's. found out afterward that gp pro's run a size smaller than the rest of the lineup. so i got XL gp techs and they fit very nicely.
