Curious: why no leather? Is it for the rain? (I’m from Australia so I don’t have any really warm gloves)

don't know about OP, but I'd also like to know of some winter gloves because I'm vegan and don't really want to buy/wear any leather
I hope you saw the comment on here about the Andromeda gloves.
Jup, same reason
https://andromedamoto.com/products/meteor-winter-gloves always nice to run into another vegan motorcycle rider 😉
I am so anxious coming from Reddit where it was always a risk statig that I'm vegan. Happy it's more friendly here 😊
Eh there's still assholes here it just gets called out easier here.
I'm just glad there's enough vegan motorcyclists out there to sustain a store 😁🐇🌱
I've bought them now. I'm a bit mad over the high delivery fee. But...well now I'm gonna get them. What do you ride?
I am very spoiled I daily a 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 and a 2014 KTM Superduke R 1290! How about you?
I took a spill on the superduke with the summer version of the gloves and my hands were unscathed if that helps you justify the shipping.
I just bought them 😁
I just bought a used Honda cbf1000s. I'm really happy with it. I took a look at the tiger, nice bike. Do you do off-road?
Naw I am on pavement but my next purchase is a dirt bike. Kind of waiting to see what Triumph's dirt bike looks like. If I don't like that I might get a KTM enduro R because I am wanting to get into sumo just because it's so much cheaper then the superduke 😅
well i understood some of those words :D i never was one for enduros or dirtbikes. i was always going for touring/street bikes. did you find it difficult riding while being vegan? there's so much leather everywhere...
It looks like they all at least have leather on the palm for grip.
That's what I see. But winter/snow gloves are usually full textile
I believe the leather is there to provide additional grip. Unlike regular cold weather gloves, motorcycle gloves that palm grip is critical to safe operation. I remember seeing some gloves that had a rubber/silicone type palm coating, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Thanks for checking tho
