What brand of motorcycle gloves is recommended as best?

Answer

In the opinion of Timberwoof of Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ: Held makes the best gloves.

He notes, "Protect your hands. Motorcycle-specific gloves are recommended. Good ones have padding on the back and padded rivets on the palm."

I've found that gloves with gel padding in the palms, actually, more like right where your finger connects with your palm, are the most comfortable, since it absorbs the vibrations of the bike.

Answer

In the opinion of Todd Robinson of Cal-Sportbike and TrackXperience riding schools;

The sport riders we deal with tend to favor the "racing" gloves by manufacturers like Held, Alpinestars, Spidi, Kushitani, and RS-Taichi. Also in the acceptable range is AGV, Joe Rocket, and Teknic. We suggest full leather gauntlet gloves that overlap the sleeve, with double cuff closure, kevlar reinforced seams, etc. And yes, Held still seems to hold the top spot for gloves from racers to everyday riders, although the gloves listed in that first list are all very comparable.
