The crash tested 5s:
I was impressed enough to buy a replacement set. In summer and for around they are my favourite pair. For long rides the carbon palm sections pass a bit too much vibration through to the hand but I can live with that.
And again, Dainese if you can find a pair that fits properly. I currently have 2 Dainese jackets and crash tested my first Dainese mesh jacket (it died but I survived with intact skin). All have been well made and well finished but not particularly cheap, especially if you buy in Australia. If you know your Dainese size, Bimoto in Belgium is about the best place to buy. They have more styles and colours than Australian stockists as well.
