Leather Gloves from Fox Creek Leather

800.766.4165 Home Men Women Boots Accessories Luggage Spotlight SALE! Mark, Wally, Dave, John and Peter on a beautiful May afternoon Deerskin Gloves vs. Cowhide Gloves Save $5 on Gloves Deerskin Gloves vs. Cowhide Gloves Deerskin is one of the most difficult leathers to work with, both in it’s tanning process, and in the making of leather goods. This, and limited availability, prevents it from being a leather that can be stamped out and sewn into products by the millions using inexperienced labor and many common mass production methods. When done properly however, it produces one of the strongest, softest, most durable, and comfortable gloves you can wear. A properly cut deerskin glove has stretch width-wise and very little stretch lengthwise. This means a snug fitting glove that will expand with your hand when you make a fist or grip something, but the fingers won’t stretch or become floppy. The physical structure of deerskin leather is different than other types of skins. It’s elongated interwoven fibers give it an extremely high shear strength and abrasion resistance. The spaces between the fibers make the leather soft and comfortable over a wider range of temperatures than others. In other words: cooler in the warm weather and warmer in the cold weather. The combination of a naturally superior leather, tanner, cut, and sewn by experienced crafts people using age old processes, results in a product that truly “fits like a glove”. Unlike man-made materials that appear flawless, any skin has surface scratches and scars, etc., and contain subtle variations in color and texture resulting in natural markings which add to the uniqueness of each item. These variations in no way affect the durability or performance of the glove. Normal use will enhance the character of this leather.

Designed specifically for motorcycle riders, the DeerTours and our very own FCL Drawstring Gauntlets are the finest motorcycle gloves available today.

Clean the Winter Blues Away with Original Bike Spirits

The Pacific Northwest allows year-round riding. The rainy season, however, adds a very heavy layer of a special kind of dirt to a bike. It is a mixture of dirt, oil, road grime and who-knows-what. Dual-sport and adventure motorcycles aren’t known for being clean steads in the first place. Many of us wear dirt as a badge of honor. There is a difference between honor and neglect. My V-Strom was certainly erring toward the latter. In comes a request for a review of Original Bike Spirits. Impeccable timing on their part!

Original Bike Spirits Cycle Wash is a spray on cleaner that is washed away with water.

Original Bike Spirits is a fairly new brand of motorcycle cleaning and lubrication products. Amrep, the company that makes these products, used to provide the formulas to brands for private label products from Honda, Harley Davidson and others. These products sold in their private label cans grew a strong following for a number of years. Amrep has changed their sales model, and now sell motorcycle cleaning and lubricating products under the Original Bike Spirits brand.It was time to wash the winter blues away. The thick winter pitina that proved my personal neglect of my motorcycle was left untouched. This allowed Original Bike Spirits Cycle Wash and Spray Cleaner & Polish to be put through the ringer. This is not your typical dirty bike. It is especially not your typical dirty street bike. My V-Strom is used for commuting and exploring the dirt back roads – both of which add their own unique “yuck” to a bike. The clay, rock and sand roads found in these parts can require some effort to remove during cleaning.

Sprayed, wiped down and rinsed. The bike is squeaky clean.

The cleaning began by using the Original Bike Spirits Cycle Wash aerosol product. A few shakes of the can and the easy-to-see foaming properties made it quick and easy to coat the entire bike: paint, engine, wheels and tires. The product is safe for every part of a bike, including chrome if your bike has it. It is recommended to not use it on gauges and other electrical areas where your motorcycle owner’s manual recommends not spraying with water. Then use your typical cleaning cloth on the really dirty spots. On my bike this was everything. The process was painless and quick. The product cleaned the painted surfaces well and left them with a nice shine. The oily surfaces on the engine also cleaned up well. The “gunk” built up on the swing arm from my Teflon chain lube was another story. That stuff seriously grips and bike and I don’t hold it against Original Bike Spirits Cycle Wash for not removing it. The Teflon chain lube binds very well to metal parts. It is designed to be a tricky substance (just ask the lake property owners with Teflon in the water from the nearby 3M production facilities).

Overall Quality = B+
Original Bike Spirits Cycle Wash is a new brand made from a long-trusted chemical formulation. The detergent cuts through grim and oil as advertised.

The Cycle Wash cut through the special winter grim that build up on my motorcycle.

Ease of Use = A
No more wash buckets and searching for the different detergents. Shake the can and start spraying it on the surface. Wipe the tough spots down after applying Cycle Wash. Rinse and you’re done. The bottle would also be easy to store on the bike during a long trip. This helps the bike glisten against the sun while parked on those incredible corners found during a memorable trip. Cycle Wash’s ability to cut through the grim is also helpful to us adventure touring folks who mix in water crossings, dusty roads and muddy terrain. Now you can get home from that muddy trail and easily wash it all away.

Bang for Your Buck = B
Cycle Wash has an MSRP of $8.95. The product works well, but there are cheaper products out there. If you’re wanting a superb product, then Original Bike Spirits Cycle Wash is likely worth the extra couple dollars per wash.

Virginia's Grand Tour Visitors

John & Joyce K. from Richmond, Virginia stopped in this week during their Grand Tour of Virginia trek. (Fox Creek Leather is a sponsor of the Grand Tour.) Joyce decided that she wanted to get her license and enjoy the view from the front - she took the riding course at age 55 and bought a bike. Now 20 years later, she's still going strong. She and John have not missed a single stop in the Grand Tour over the past four years. And then there's Edward - Joyce's passenger come rain or shine. Edward and his riding companions have been to every state in the Lower 48. He is the strong, silent type, and his navigation techniques are unequalled. He's never led them astray. John & Joyce K., Richmond, VA Top
