Leather palmed summer glove anywhere?

[Bigtallfatbloke]

I have a well used (20+ years old!)pair of fingerless summer cycling gloves with a leather palm. They need replacing. Does anybody know where I can find a apair of leather palmed cycling gloves?

I bought these a long time ago somewhere in Germany but I haven't seen them over here.

I want leather palms instead of gel because if I fall off my palm is likely to be go down onto the road first and I feel leather would protect my skin better than gel.

Any ideas?

BTFB, aren't modern gloves made with clarino(?) (synthetic leather)? My Specialized BG Comp gloves have this, anyway.

Anyroad, Prendas Ciclismo are great for retro stuff, check these out;

When I went down at >25mph last year, the clarino palms of my Spesh gloves kept my palm free of damage.

Was only my palms and my feet that didn't sustain some kind of damage.

You may also be able to get the Adidas adistar mitts which I use. They scored 9/10 and got a best buy in a C+ review a couple of years ago

My spesh gloves are gel padded.

As for Prendas, I only have their arm warmers and a gilet, but have found both those very good - great service too.

Cheapo meshback leather gloves are in your JJB in the weightlifting section, cheap as chips.
