Gloves with joined fingers

[komp]

I upgraded my summer gloves the other day, with some RST 2579 trac-tech jobbies, didn't realise until i wore them in anger that the ring and little fingers on them are joined. I am sure this is a safety feature of some kind, but never had gloves with this before.
But find it quite annoying especially on the clutch hand as need 3 fingers to pull the clutch on the 899, not so much of a problem with braking hand as typically only use 2 fingers.
Wasn't sure of other peoples views on this particular feature on gloves?

I have had them on go tech gloves for years was a pain at first but you get used to it/work around it , it's to stop finger roll in the event of a crash if I remember correctly

I have "Five" gloves...doesn't bother me...but probably use full hand on clutch. Scalpel and take the joining material away????

[komp]

yeah that's what i will probably do, if i cant get used to them.
I was just curious to see how many others have these style gloves and if anyone else found them uncomfortable like me

[Alzo]

Odd the first few times...more so because I usually use alternate hands to push gloves fully on...you can't do that with these type...if that makes sense.

[Tiiimmmaaayyyy]

Never worn them myself but give them a try and if it's a pain just cut the material.

I cut mine - didn't feel "right" but I doubt it would have hindered my riding.

I've got the webbing on my new Astar gloves and the only bit about them that doesn't bother me is the webbing!! I barely use the gloves because they are so uncomfortable but the webbing doesn't affect me when I do.

Which gloves you talking about gilby?

[Gilby104]

Don't know what they are called, but they are the alpine star ones, probably last year's design. I don't know whether it is just that I have picked the wrong size or whether they just don't suit my hands, whether they are machined wrong or what..... but they are horrible to wear.

when I got my first set of gp techs


they wore uncomfortable (same as other A* race gloves I have had)
like really uncomfortable they are a basted to break in but they do in the end and they are so much better its almost like a different glove , ive had I think 6 pairs of gp techs and they wore all the same

[Gilby104]

ah those are either the same or nearly the same as the ones I have. They are murder. good to know that they wear in. Anything I can do to speed up the process?

they are probably the same or the slightly cheaper pro , I wore liners in mine it made them bearable till they broke in
