Go for big protection on the palms & knuckle dusters.
Heres pics of my Richa leather gloves, also came off about 50mph, a bit difficult to see the detail but both knuckle dusters took a grinding.
The palms you can see i didnt grind where the extra padding is, ideally i coulda done with the padding over the palm but then it wouldnt be as good for feel on the bars & dexterity.
The right hand little finger split down the outer side at the top and i broke my finger but actually there wasnt much grazing on it.
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.
