I've a pair of Held Akiras: carbon knuckles, kangaroo palms, and rivets in the palm. I like the gloves, but the rivets don't get along well with the bar-end mirrors, so I'm thinking of a new pair, and moving the Akiras to backup.

Held Phantoms: replace the rivets with stingray skin. Seem very nice, but found a Ride magazine glove comparison bashing the embroidered logo on the index finger.

Ku****ani: have soft knuckles, no rivets. Same Ride article didn't have them ranked very highly for the price.

BKS: very nice, but very very expensive.

Others I'd consider are Alpinestars GP plus or pro. Helimot?

Please chime in if you have experience with any of the above models.

thanks!
