I think you are being hoodwinked on the safety properties of motorcycle gloves in the event of an off particularly winter ones which are basically ski gloves with leather palms .
Knock yourself out if you feel better paying lots for the latest alpine stars model ( been there and done that), but when you are realy bored one day take a close look at the palms of your "safety" motorcycle gloves and think how long it will last skidding across the road surface.
My choice of glove is not about being tight - it is because what is on the market is rubbish and over priced .We are marketed gloves that look like a gladiator should wear them a yet in truth other than knuckle protection they offer no more protection than a decent work glove and certainly little protection in an off as it was put earlier.
