I have heard many good things about the Lee Parks gloves. I haven't pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on buying them yet because as you know, they don't give them away, and I've had some other more pressing things to take care of. The gloves I haven't aren't too bad, but they are definitely not Lee Parks gloves. I always carry when I ride, but I haven't tried to unholster or shoot with my gloves on. I'll definitely have to give that a shot (again, no pun intended) and see if it's even possible to get it done with those gloves on. Thanks for the great info, as always! I give a LOT more credence to private user reviews than to blurbs from the manufacturer!
Just ordered the gloves, thank you! Wanted to break them in before my Motor School next month. Your tips and videos have definitely improved my skills and confidence. Thanks again!
Daily use I get around 3 years, and I never took very good care of them. I imagine I could have done quite a bit better with some regular cleaning and conditioning. weekend pair has lasted me around 8 years.
I rotate two pair in case one gets wet from weather. Mine are 10 years old and one pair (I find this funny) is worn completely through where the fingers massage the clutch lever from these darn low speed drills. Lee Parks is a road racer and these are designed to take 150mph slides without sacrificing control feel. They are a fantastic glove.
Lee Park's gloves SUCK...at first. Once you break them in, it won't take long, you will love them. TIP: If possible buy them JUST SLIGHTLY too small. They will stretch out a little bit. If you are between sizes order both and return one pair. (Check on their return policy first.) I realize "JUST SLIGHTLY" is a bit vague but when you put them on ask yourself if these gloves stretch out just a little bit how would I like these gloves. If you need them to stretch out a lot to fit, just go to the next size up. I've had my Lee Park's gloves for 2 years and love them. If you are in Southern California you may want to take a ride out to the Lee Park's office in Victorville (12520 Business Center Dr., Suite C., Victorville, CA 92395) to pick up your pair. (Call first for hours and make sure they have your size in stock.)
Respectfully I don’t understand why US mounted cups need any gloves at all? According to every American motorcycle cup I’ve asked; they are invulnerable and can never crash. In the unlikely event if they do crash: wearing a short sleeve shirt and vest and half helmet; a little missing skin on the hand is no big deal in conjunction to jaw and shoulder reconstructive surgery. American mounted police should look at the euro cups gear if they want to inspire public safety in riding culture. As of now you’ll set bed example and continue reducing riding culture in the USA, you’ll are one step above riding with only a bandanna.
I'm a civilian but train under motor officers and this is what I was told- The motor officers first priority is to be able to function well as a police officer. Crash protection while riding is sacrificed in order to be able to move quickly off the bike.
I wear Lee Parks deerskin gloves also. Agree 💯 with Quinn's little sermon here.

That's great to hear! You need anything lust reach out. And congrats on motors
I'm about to order a pair of the sumo motorcycle gloves. What's the best way to break them in? I've read soaking them in water before putting them on?
Makes so much sense . Fantastic real world review . Just a civilian rider but knew there had to be something better out there .
Thank you
Remember, you get 1 punch to my arm if you don't absolutely love them!👍
@@PoliceMotorTraining love them as does my wife . Again thank you
It seems the Lee Parks gloves have not passed the EN 17092 tests and are not CE marked. Without that they would be illegal in some European countries.
Great observation 👍
What’s the life of the glove ? Daily use. Thanks

Wait… do you have to buy your own gloves? These Lee Park are awesome and I have a pair myself, but for sure they are not cheap.
"Buy once, cry once"
Do they have black?
They come in black.
Yes, they come in black!
Kangaroo leather is even better. It’s tensile strength is 10 times stronger than leather.
Inside seam or outside seam?
Inside seam is better for firearms IMHO
Outside.

Well that's quite a bit to unpack for a glove review, but food for thought no doubt!
