What is Jason DiSalvo riding this year? A Triumph?
Yep. DiSalvo was best in practice so far!

So I finally got a chance to try out the new gloves this weekend at button willow. ...I always dug the old gloves, but am blown away by the new gloves! They we[re] so comfortable, I didn't need any break in time. The new gloves fit great, and the extra perforation was keeping it cool on the hot weekend. If you haven't tried these gloves yet, go by and see Wade and Carrie at the thunder hill proshop. Just try em on, and I promise they will be the next pair you buy!
Jesse,
Man...I had the same experience...loved the old gloves, but, man, when I put the new Insurrection A-PRO gloves on...I absolutely loved them (plus, my lap times dropped by 3 seconds...Thanks Jason, Martin, and David!!!). The perforation rocks and the sand Kevlar sliders gave so much more feel without a compromise in safety. However, we'll still produce the original style (but now with perforation), as after talking with some more AFM fast guys and girls, they think the original sliders are the way to go because of the stability under heavy braking...
Therefore, we'll be ordering up both kinds and riders will have some sweet choices in Insurrection race gloves!!!
I really liked the original Insurrection gloves I tried last year, but I LOVE these new ones. The extra ventilation is really nice and the new palm sliders provide great grip on the bars under braking. They kept the same awesome fit so you get great feel on the bars and levers. If you're in the market for some new gloves, I'd put these on par with the top gloves from Astars and Dainese any day.

I'm really excited to being trying out a Pilot suit for the 2012 season. Can't wait to start the process of designing my first custom suit!
