<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/12/frank_biela_in_the_cockpit_of_t.jpg"></center><p>These are absolutly the worse made gloves I've ever put on.

Both glove's interior have sharpe seams of velcro that cuts into my hand.

They are so bad I'm wondering if they are real, and worrie if they are really made of Nomex.

But Biela seems to like them..

Default did u get them mail order?...for racing wear,

I have to wear them/try them before buying them...

Winecountry motorsports has served this need for me very well, I've since bought an Arai Gp-5k, and some other bitz from them...I think I will buy my suit and new shoes from them when time comes...

Default Yeah I should of.

These fits fine actually.

So I think what is in question is if they are real or Fake **** made in China.

Stand21 is suppose to be somewhat respected so I can't really see how this pair could be like this if they are real.

Default Simpson Talon Grip.

That's all I ever use.

Stand21 = overpriced. Which highly over-priced model glove did you buy ?

If you're worried about whether they're really Nomex, get a lighter.

Remember that old adage: "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life".

Default Unfortunately I agree with John

Simpson Talon grip all the way. These gloves are extremely comfortable and are well made.

Default Unfortunately, I'm going to remove Warren's fenders...

...the next time we're on the track together. Buy some bondo, Grasshopper.

"Unfortunately" ? "UNFORTUNATELY" ??? I have been a font of guidance and wisdom on racing for you. Yes...I know...some of it has been wildly inaccurate, and I've told you wild lies to get you to do stupid stuff for amusement sake...but...."UNFORTUNATELY" ????? WTF ?

Default $50..

But the way the gloves turned out it maybe still over priced.

I just did the lighter trick. Looks ok to me.

Default Yes, you're a regular guiding light...

Though I might rather refer to you as one of the idiots in "Jackass" prodding the other to do pull jack **** stunts. I'm not sure who's the bigger jackass now though, me or you.

Default Well...

...in response to your last question, I'd say it's a draw.

Oh...BTW...none of the other Honda guys lift for Wagon Bend. Do you ?

Default Wussy

No, I don't when I'm qualifying or need an extra fast lap while racing :P Foot to the floor and pray, but if God appears in the middle of the road, I'm running him over. It'll hurt less than the wall.
