Default Favorite Gloves?

Got some extra change and looking to get new gloves and a helmet.

Any favorites out there for medium weather, some track time, street/curvy road riding style (protection is important)??? Currently have had Alpinestars SP3's. Kinda tight though, but I've felt comfortable with them. Palm right thumb finally wearing out.

And, where's the best deals these days on motorcycle gear?

Thanks mucho!
Mark

I use SportbikeTrackGear really, and I just ordered the Cortech Latigo RRs. Seem like a reasonably priced track style glove.

I have an older version of these gloves and I love them. I am in between glove sizes for literally every company so I wear them a little tight. I like kangaroo palms wayyyyy better than cowhide.

I do too, but kangaroo is more expensive typically.

Thanks all. Ended up with these:
Dainese Carbon Cover Gloves - RevZilla
Decent price for a full glove I thought and well made.

Just got these yesterday. Very nice! For $120 bucks I feel like I got a pretty good deal. Excellent construction, lots of padding where you need it (outside gauntlet, outside palm and little finger), flexible. First pair I've ever had with the carbon knuckles so I was worried, but these have very nice padding underneath and doesn't seem to restrict a closed palm. These are 2XXl size which should work in nicely once I get out and sweat a bit!
