GP Plus gloves kick ass! Recommend to anyone, IMHO worth every dollar. Go to your local store, try the stuff on and order online. Save you some $.
As far as brands go jrocket is pretty good, I have a jacket and some water resistant gloves ( not proof :-( ), but for performance I think Alpinestars is best. (Unless you wanna step up a few hundred dollars). sidi boots rock. Perhaps one item I would take over alpinestars. Design aside I was told that alpinestars boots have quality issues, also I read it somewhere online, maybe even on this board.
