My helmet is soooo slippery 
I use the Rain-X washer fluid in all my vehicles, so there is always a gallon of it in the garage, and, I do not have running water in the garage
This spring I got tired of getting out to the garage, house all locked up, with my helmet in hand only to discover it was nasty, and needed a good cleaning
Although I have outside water, it always seemed like a pain to get water from there to get a microfiber wet to wipe off the helmet
So, in a moment of desperation I just poured some of this into an empty spray bottle and cleaned the helmet
It has now been months of doing predrive wipe downs with this stuff, and this morning, I noticed my helmet was feeling good and slippery
Dem nasty splattered bugs are sliding right off good and easy now

Well Mark you seem so happy with the HELD, and so far your suggestions have worked out well, I figured I would give it a shot
I sure hope their sizing info is right, I went right according to the instructions on the HELD site
Jon I tried to order from RRevZilla but they had no black 10 in stock
Air Stream
Art. 2950
Summer glove in black or gray
* Palm is highly abrasion-resistant sweat-resistant and colorfast kangaroo leather
* Back is ventilated mesh (100% polyester} with leather detailing
* Unlined palm
* Back is fully lined with Kevlar® and Cool Max®
* Adjustable Velcro closure at cuff
* Special step seam prevents pressure points on inner hand and enhances feel
* Fingers are perforated with mesh sides
* Hard plastic knuckle protection
* Side of hand and ball of thumb are reinforced
* Side of hand and fingers are protected with Superfabric®

Think you will be happy. Hope they are not too cool for you. I find I don't need ventilated gloves until it is over 90 degrees out. they will probably be fine 70 degrees plus, but could be chilly in the mornings.

The way I look at it is a glove with major cooling is still more glove than a naked hand
