Default Olympia Gloves - Cheap and good.

http://www.olympiagloves.com/viewgloves.html

Ive had these gloves for 2 years now. Need a new pair because i biffed it and they held up like champs. Chewed through the leather, foam, and kevlar on the palm, but the second layer of leather saved my meat. I remember paying 50 bucks for them, but they show 80 here. Still a good buy in a market of overpriced leather gloves.

My first pair of gloves were Olympia but they left a black residue on my hand so I stopped using them. Someone told me it might've just been dye? I dunno.

My new gloves don't do it.

I had a buddy wreck on the track almost 2 weeks ago wearing Olympia Kevlar gloves. I took a look at the damage to his gear. There was a big bloody hole on the left pinky. Ewwwww... He had a full thickness abrasion on his left pinky from where the glove gave out.

Scary! Maybe they arent as good as i thought.

All i know is they saved my palms. And my other body parts thank me for that.

I bought some Olympia All Season gloves and haven't been super happy with them. The main thing I don't like is the palms don't have enough friction, so I have to squeeze tighter when turning the throttle.
