Hi guys. I'm looking for new summer gloves and I can't seem to make up my mind.
I've done some searches but most summer gloves are short ones. I'm looking for long(er) ones that will protect my wrists

What would you recommend?
Thanks.
Got some Icon Timax gloves on Klinky's reccommendation and gotta sat they're excellent. Short or long cuff is available.
Check out Held Phantom.

I loved my Handroids by Knox. No one here has them really and they are fair dinkum. ( I have been wanting to use that phrase forever!)
They look cool, have paper thin kanga palms and fingers (great feedback/feel) and really protected me in my last crash. Very well designed.
Since they are British they should be available to you Euro guys at a fair price. I think they retail for $300 here.

Thanks guys. Forgot to ask one thing...
How comfortable are your gloves at higher temps (+25 degrees C)?
Timax are fairly cool. They have perfs between the fingers, but they don't flow a massive amount of air. I find them to be ok at higher temps though.
@ktm666- Yes, it's ridiculous. Especially when most of this crap comes out of China or Pakistan anyway, right? As far as the British stuff, can't get better than Forcefield either. Simply the best!!
At least we can say we still make the most ridiculous, huge cars.

I wore my gloves at 105F (41c!) No worries. I have a glove, boot and helmet dryer for between races.
I use my Alpinestars SP-2 gloves year round, with a silk inner-glove during winter. They suit me fine right up to 43deg C
I know a good source for Icon gloves here in UK. Going to check them out myself first though before releasing the name on here.
