Get some good leather motorcycle gloves with protection for the palms and knuckles. Some even have Kevlar in the palms; most have thick leather or even Kevlar over the knuckles. They should also have a gauntlet: that big, ugly thing that comes up your arms a few inches past your wrist. You should tuck your jacket into the gauntlet while you ride. This gives you some overlap in case of asphalt sliding. (The same goes for zipping the pants and jacket together.) In addition to velcro at the jacket end of the glove, there should be a wrist strap that wraps around and further helps ~~hod~~ the glove in place.

Don't get those little gloves that end right at your wrist bones. They may be OK for Tiger Woods, but they won't give you enough protection in a crash.
