REV'IT! Alaska GTX Gloves For those traditionalists who prefer an all-leather glove, rather than the lightweight leather-textile mix of the Bastion GTX, the Alaska GTX with tis GORE-TEX membrane can handle the coldest days with comfort and style. Like all REV'IT! gloves, Engineered Skin design balances protection and performance. The result a superior winter glove. PROTECTION FEATURES Outershell goatskin with WR finish, suede leather with WR finish Insulation Thermolite, Push-Pull Tri-Fleece Liner Waterproofing GORE-TEX membrane Breathability GORE-TEX membrane Composition Outershell 100 Leather Lining 100 Polyester Membrane 100 GORE-TEX membrane (ePTFE) Protection leather hard-shell knuckle, PU injected finger knuckles, TPU hard-shell little finger protector, Dual-comp palm slider, EVA foam at thumb and wrist Visibility laminated reflection at cuff, reflection at fingers ERGONOMIC FEATURES Fit Tour Fit Adjustability Adjustment strap at wrist, Adjustment tab at cuff Features Stretch lips at fingers and back hand, Goat Window Grip Patches, Elastic at wrist, Regular cuff length, visor wiper

I rode all the way form Texas just to see your store (not really) and I tried on every Gore-Tex glove in your 2010 winter glove guide video. The Alaska was your top pick in its class and rightfully so. Warmth and comfort are superb and It also has the protection features I love about the "Dirt" which is my summer glove. The gauntlet cinches up tight enough to allow me to pull the Gore-Tex liner of my Defender jacket over when the going gets wet. Outstanding glove/jacket combination!. Thanks!

Dunlop D616 High Performance Radial Tires A new radical sport radial for the mean streets Innovative sport tread pattern with an extremely aggressive look that is a direct descendant of a wet-track road race tread design Cool-running tread with superior grip characteristics also provides excellent cut and wear resistance O.E. on the Buell Ulysses Dunlop Tire Tips Guide (pdf)

The D616 has the most aggressive tread pattern available in a 180/55/17. It offers great road manners, superb wet traction and is reasonably good when meandering down an occasional dirt road. The front is still in pristine shape at 9k but don't expect more than 5k out of the rear unless you really baby it.

The DIRT summer glove offers the perfect balance between protection and ventilation. Lightweight mesh and perforated leather parts allow air to flow freely along the hands, keeping you cool. The level of safety is exceptional for a mesh glove, thanks to high-quality leather, dual-comp palm slider, Albany cowhide hard-shell knuckle, and PU-injected finger knuckles. The DIRT is comfort and safety rolled into one glove. PROTECTION Outer shell Automan stretch, air stretch mesh, goatskin, Albany cowhide (PU coated) Visibility reflection Protection Albany cowhide hard-shell knuckle, PU injected finger knuckles, EVA foam, Dual-comp palm slider Lining tri-fleece liner ERGONOMIC Fit tour fit Adjustability adjustment tab Ventilation ventilation panels Features short cuff

ALL DAY COMFORT! THE DIRT GLOVE IS THE PREFECT BALANCE OF PROTECTION, COMFORT AND VENTILATION - EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN A SUMMER GLOVE. NO WONDER THEY'RE IN SHORT SUPPLY.

Pros Rugged, Great Value, Comfortable, Fashionable
Cons WISH THEY WERE AVAILABLE IN GRAY
Yes, I recommend this product.

Hi, I hesitate between Dainese Jerico new and Rev'it Alaska can you help me compare?
The important points are cold resistance (which one is the warmest) and protections (which one protects best).
Thank you!
Thank you!
I tried on both and while the Jerico is a great glove, possibly the warmest, I chose the Alaska because my Defender jacket has long sleeve zippers designed to go over the gauntlets for rain riding. The Jerico has a built-in gaiter inside the gauntlet that seemed a bit more complicated. Still, it was a hard choice.
