Cortech Adrenaline II gloves. I have had Alpinestars GP-Plus and Helds Evo Thrux, and Rev'it! Gauntlet rain gloves before and these are by far my favorite. My favorite features in day to day use is the kangaroo palm, dual Knox hard sliders, double cuff enclosure, precurved fingers, and Kevlar stitching. I would compare these with Dainese Full Metal gloves but without the titanium hard parts. I've had these fire skit 3000 miles

Anywho, these gloves look like an excellent deal. $80 Alpinestars gloves would not have anywhere near the features that these do.

Thanks for the post, OP. Too rich for my blood but appreciate the insights you provide re: actual use/ownership and comparisons with other high end gloves.

When I bought these last month, the first pair weren't made correctly. The finger tips were too short and not wide enough, was worst on the thumb. Stitching from inside thumb to pointer was shortened, so couldn't really use the turn signals and my thumb would get numb after a few minutes. The leather also started peeling after 2nd ride. Had them exchanged and the fingertips were much better, but not amazing. They also started peeling as well. I contacted cortech about the peeling and they said it's a manufacturer defect and to contact the retailer. I sent them an email with the exact email cortech sent and still haven't heard back almost a month now.
I'd honestly skip these left over batches and hope they make an Adrenaline 3 or something.

I guess if you get a good pair, these gloves are a great value.
