What do I buy?
Racked up another birthday today, ah well, retirement gets closer. Anyway, I have received £120 in Hein Gericke vouchers. So, what do I buy? I am fancying some new gloves, but which one's? My leathers/boots are Alpinestar so I am drawn towards some gloves to match. Any recommendations?

You're probably right. Do I go for the GP Pro's or add some money to and go for the GP Techs?

Try before you buy mate.
I have some GP Pro's that fit,..well,..like a glove really!
I tried the Techs and found them very uncomfy across the knuckles.I could imagine them rubbing the skin off on a long rideout.I settled for some Joe Rocket GPX to match my leathers.

Techs take a lot more breaking in than the Pro but when they are they are super comfy. Wrist strap can be a bit short make sure the velcro gets a good grip.

I just bought the A stars jet road goretex and am very impressed, totally waterproof, not bulky almost race glove thin but warm and good protection as well .

I won £100 of Hein Gericke vouchers. When you read the small print they were suppossed to be only used on Hein Gericke own products. My local Hein Gericke manager bent the rules for me though and I put it towards a helmet.

These are gift vouchers so can be used on anything they sell.
