New for 2011, the Olympia “Switch” gloves are so named because of their dual-purpose liner. Slide your hand over or under the non-removable liner for your choice of warmth or grip. These are a good-looking pair of gloves and — surprise — they actually fit as expected. The faux carbon fiber “knuckle protectors”...
Introduction I want to start off by saying that I haven’t been a fan of short cuff gloves for the...
The best bargain you can find for summer motorcycle gloves? Can a $25 pair of gloves actually be worthwhile? It’s...
AGV Sport “Mercury” Motorcycle Gloves Review The AGV Sport Mercury gloves are a lightweight summer choice with barely-there protection. But, but…at a nearly giveaway price and with probably the best reflectivity you’ll ever find on any pair of motorcycle gloves…and a pretty darn nice main knuckle protector, well, why not?...
The REV’IT! Cayenne Pro short-gauntlet gloves have a lot of protection for summer motorcycle riding. The overall build quality is outstanding,...
REV’IT! is headquartered in Oss Netherlands, a country well known for its love of two-wheel transportation, but not a country...
Icon is a name that is very popular in the sport and sport-touring segment of the motorcycle gear world. They manufacture everything from touring jackets to full on racing gauntlets, and everything in between that could be attached to anything named “touring.” This is especially true when it comes to...

Background If you’ve been reading my reviews over the years, then you know I have something of a glove fetish. At one time, I had over 20 pairs of motorcycle gloves. Over the years (with the encouragement of my husband), I have thinned down the pile to one pair per...
Rynus has apparently chosen some interesting biblical names for their clothing items, including the Genesis and Ruah jacket and these...
We counted 18 different pairs of Joe Rocket motorcycle gloves available for sale in their 2007 catalog. The list includes...
The Racer “Mickey” Gloves are another short gauntlet summer type but with more protective features than the Racer Guide gloves (review). The most prominent feature of the Mickey gloves is the large bifurcated Superfabric-covered main knuckle protector. Another Superfabric-covered slider protects the scaphoid. Only the top of the inside of the gloves has a...

The Icon Anthem Blender gloves are also new for 2015. This is the third and final pair in this brief “Too...
Short-cuffed leather gloves with integrated knuckle armor and reinforced palms for extra protection. Every motorcyclist needs a variety of gloves depending on the riding conditions she (or he) will be in. That means warm or cold, longer gauntlet or short cuffs and leather vs. mesh or textile. I love having...
The REV’IT! Giri gloves are an excellent choice for the rider looking for a pair of medium-weight summer gloves but...
An excellent choice for anyone in search of a good lightweight glove that provides temperature versatility, copes well with the...
Review Summary The Racer USA Verano is a simple short-cuff black leather glove with plenty of ventilation. The Verano gloves are well-built and should hold up for the long run. Racer USA notes that they fit about a ½ size larger than other gloves, so attention should be paid to...
Let’s just put it this way: the Firstgear Kathmandu gloves did not live up to my expectations. As I mentioned...
Not the favorite pair in this comparison The Alpinestars Sledge Street Sport Riding Gloves are one of many different styles...
The REV’IT! Sand Pro and Striker gloves are similar in both design and intended use. They are two of five total off-road oriented short textile gloves offered by the Netherlands-based company for 2013. The Sand Pro and Striker make for a good comparison because each has a particular set of...

Introduction Recently, Trilobite sent me a “Care Package” in the form of a box containing their new Go-Up jeans, the Ace jacket, and a pair of gloves which is the subject of this review. Trilobite is fast becoming a familiar name to webBikeWorld readers with us having published several reviews...
It’s interesting to note that the list price of the Joe Rocket Atomic 2.0 gloves is $10.00 less than the Joe...
We must get at least a dozen emails each week from factories in Pakistan, India and other points around the...
Not bad looking, comfortably soft leather and — surprise! — fully waterproof. The Olympia 180 Monsoon gloves have no armor and very little extra abrasion protection and I could live with that. The sizing, however, is non-standard with too-long fingers for the size. These are fairly basic motorcycle gloves in terms of their...
Everyone that knows me understands that I have a mild glove fetish. At one time I had over 20 pairs...
Lightweight summer gloves are comfortable and provide excellent ventilation. The tradeoff is the relatively thin fabric in some areas. This is the...
Note: Thanks to Racer Gloves USA for providing the Pitlane Gloves for this review I always carry extra gloves in case of changing weather during my ride. So when Racer Gloves USA asked us if we would like to try out some of their gloves, I asked for two pairs,...

Beating the summer heat for the motorcycle rider is always a challenge. Protective gear can be stifling in the hot...
Lightweight summer gloves for the hottest days are comfortable and well made. It seems like the glove reviews never end. I guess that’s a good thing, right? The problem is that it seems like it was just yesterday that we finished a huge series of cold weather motorcycle glove reviews for 2008. And here...
There are plenty of warm-weather short cuff motorcycle gloves out there, but the REV’IT Sand 4 Gloves make a pretty...
Superb quality and thoughtful design make the Dainese “Guanto” X-ILE gloves a summertime winner! Motorcycle gloves probably make the most difficult...
In all my years of riding and pillioning (a new word I just made up!) on motorcycles, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman wearing full leathers and race equipment. Not that it doesn’t happen, because I have seen some photos of women at track days who are dressed...
The Dainese Veleta gloves are an interesting new design for 2014. The design is a successful mashup of features cribbed...
