If you like the gloves I use they are made by Handup. Handup makes some pretty rad stuff, not just gloves but other apparel as well. I've been on their gloves for a while now and absolutely love them. Using the promo code JOHN$ON (all caps) at checkout supports me and the channel as well! Check em out.
