I was looking at these gloves at the NY bike show. They are deer skin and they are very comfortable. They claim that they will last longer than leather and that suprised me since they feel so soft.

Does anyone have experience with this product.
They are $180 so I want to know they will last.

I saw the same gloves at a different online shop for $109.

Just joined, are there rules prohibiting links to stores/items?

I have posted links before. Nobody has told me not to.

If you want to post a link to demonstrate or ask a question about a certain product, it's OK ... just don't try to sell us anything ok?

I've not read anything about Deerskin, Crovello ... However, Most racers use Kangaroo leather suits which are both lighter and thinner than cow leather and povide better protection. (They are also really expensive.)

Someone out there may have the answer on the deerskin for you, though.

They seem to be the same gloves.
Thanks for the link.
