Do you guys really all rock aerostitch gloves as their catalog suggests? Just curious. :wink::think:

We have to buy our own gloves. I personally use Icon's

Yah "all" as in only in writing on their web-page. Stupid company, got to love false advertising.

I wouldn't say "stupid company", Aerostitch makes some of the safest gear out there. Interesting that the text may be incorrect though, they're not the type of company to make something like that up. Which is why I asked...:noidea:

Looks like the same glove in the "Motor on a BMW" picture hanging on most of our office walls (propagated very shortly after we adopted the BMW). Lots of the guys I worked with knew the Officer in the pic, and they always made comments about "yeah, that guy really loves those gloves," but it definitely sounded like they were talking a preference bit as opposed to a Department issue thing.

"stupid company" is in reference to them putting up a false statement. I am well aware of Aerostitch and their riding reputation, I have been riding for long enough to know their products.

Fair enough. I didn't mean to suggest that you didn't know about their reputation ... rather standing up for a company that seems to do good stuff. Although .... if they're false in their claim, thats a little disheartening.

Does that mean I haven't received my pair of aerostitch gloves and they are on their way? It seems about every motor has their own preference. I was wearing a motocross glove made by alpinestars. For the last 3 years I have worn the Oakley factory pilot glove. They hold up great and I can take care of business with them on. Whatever the business of the day might be.
