Painted nail?
I think i was at the limits of these gloves, to imagine coming off at 70 or 80 is a scary thought coz it would be like wearing these gloves in their damaged state and then coming off again at 30 mph in them.
the fabric WP gloves ALDI have done in the past are good value for money I roll mine and stuff them in my tank bag when touring as a back up pair and they are still going strong 4 years onNot crashed in them (touches head) but padded in the right places

the moto gp etc guys all go for leather so there must be something in it. shame us mortals cant afford them.
How fast were you going? I am curious about wet Vs dry conditions. Leather does seem to glide more which on a track seems like a good thing, I don't know if you need it with lower energy crashes added to which if you slide to well on the road your likely to hit something. Maybe mythbusters should test throwing pigs off a pick up truck to see (so long as the pigs died of natural causes)
