You should always wear gloves when riding—but with cooler temperatures and greater windchill on the way in the coming weeks, covering...
Introduction Earlier this year I took a look at the Alpinestars SP Air gloves as an option for a protective...
While not perfect, the Klim Induction gloves offer a winning combination of protective features, comfort and feel and hot weather ventilation. This combination does come at a price, but still provides good value for the money spent. Compromises. Most hot weather or “Summer” motorcycle riding gear will be a study...
The Racer “Guide” Gloves have a short gauntlet and perforated sections for cooler summer riding. The gloves also feature Clarino and goat...
Last year I reviewed the Richa Airstorm WP Jacket and Softshell Mesh Pants and liked them. So when I reached...
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...
Introduction One never has enough riding gear, and this includes gloves, of all types and purpose. Gloves are, to degrees,...
The Racer “Mickey” Gloves are another short gauntlet summer type but with more protective features than the Racer Guide gloves (review). The...
FirstGear Burnout Motorcycle Gloves FirstGear has gone through an interesting evolution over the last several years. The brand was once well known among BMW motorcycle owners as a manufacturer of high-quality motorcycle clothing. A FirstGear jacket had as much cachet as an Aerostich or Motoport does now. I’m not privy...
It is seldom the season for mesh gloves in London; mine get so little wear I’ve been using the same...
Lightweight summer gloves are comfortable and provide excellent ventilation. The tradeoff is the relatively thin fabric in some areas. This is the...
Excellent quality hot-weather gloves with a touch of kangaroo leather and Superfabric. Not the ultimate in protection, but perhaps enough to satisfy. As always with summer gloves, there’s a compromise between ventilation and safety. Held USA is under new management by SCHUBERTH USA. Seems a bit strange but makes a bit of sense...
Let’s just put it this way: the Firstgear Kathmandu gloves did not live up to my expectations. As I mentioned...
Not bad looking, comfortably soft leather and — surprise! — fully waterproof. The Olympia 180 Monsoon gloves have no armor and...
The Icon Anthem Blender gloves are also new for 2015. This is the third and final pair in this brief “Too Light for Summer” look at ultra-lightweight motorcycle riding gloves. To be perfectly blunt, it’s difficult to recommend the Icon Anthem Blender gloves for any type of serious street riding. The gloves have...
The Knox Orsa gloves are cool and comfortable for summer, with all the protective features you’d expect from Knox. They’re...
It’s interesting to note that the list price of the Joe Rocket Atomic 2.0 gloves is $10.00 less than the Joe...
The REV’IT! Solar mesh gloves are a summer favorite around here, with just the right combination of air flow and comfort. The Solar gloves were revised last year to incorporate goatskin, giving them a broken-in feel right out of the box. REV’IT! has developed a huge selection of clothing over the years....
Rynus has apparently chosen some interesting biblical names for their clothing items, including the Genesis and Ruah jacket and these...
AGV Sport “Mercury” Motorcycle Gloves Review The AGV Sport Mercury gloves are a lightweight summer choice with barely-there protection. But,...
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”...
An excellent choice for anyone in search of a good lightweight glove that provides temperature versatility, copes well with the...
REV’IT! is headquartered in Oss Netherlands, a country well known for its love of two-wheel transportation, but not a country...
The REV’IT! Cayenne Pro short-gauntlet gloves have a lot of protection for summer motorcycle riding. The overall build quality is outstanding, putting some of the other gloves we’ve reviewed recently to shame. They also have a very comfortable fit with a remarkable amount of dexterity and feel. Designed to be worn under...
Note: Thanks to Racer Gloves USA for providing the Pitlane Gloves for this review I always carry extra gloves in...
A short-cuffed textile and leather glove with protection and attitude. Even with hard knuckle armor, these gloves are very comfortable...
Introduction I want to start off by saying that I haven’t been a fan of short cuff gloves for the past several years. Concerns over the lack of wrist protection combined with some “less than strong” wrist securing methods had me looking towards full gauntleted options. So how did I...
We counted 18 different pairs of Joe Rocket motorcycle gloves available for sale in their 2007 catalog. The list includes...
Beating the summer heat for the motorcycle rider is always a challenge. Protective gear can be stifling in the hot...
Not the favorite pair in this comparison The Alpinestars Sledge Street Sport Riding Gloves are one of many different styles of motorcycle gloves offered by Alpinestars. The “Sledge” model is new for 2007; apparently, it’s so new, it hasn’t even shown up on their website as this article was published....
Introduction Recently, Trilobite sent me a “Care Package” in the form of a box containing their new Go-Up jeans, the...
The Motonation Campeon gloves are a value-priced short leather glove with an MSRP of $50. They come with a few...
Racer Gloves USA MultiTop Short Gloves First Impressions Take one look at the Racer Gloves USA MultiTop Short Gloves, and one thing is for sure. They offer some good protection for short cuff gloves. There are knuckle guards, finger guards, palm sliders, wrist protection, and more. There are gloves out...
The REV’IT! Sand Pro and Striker gloves are similar in both design and intended use. They are two of five...
Short-cuffed leather gloves with integrated knuckle armor and reinforced palms for extra protection. Every motorcyclist needs a variety of gloves...
With the exceptionally hot temperatures that ravaged the Pacific Northwest of the USA and pretty much all of Western Canada during the month of July 2021, having hot-weather-appropriate riding gear turned from being a nice thing to an absolute necessity. While I do have my Icon Super-Duty II gloves, they...
There are plenty of warm-weather short cuff motorcycle gloves out there, but the REV’IT Sand 4 Gloves make a pretty...
The weather is starting to turn here already (seriously), and now the Tasker’s have become the glove of choice for...
The REV’IT! Giri gloves are an excellent choice for the rider looking for a pair of medium-weight summer gloves but doesn’t wish to opt for the weight and cost of a full leather. Just like the humble editor of webBikeWorld, we are also big fans of REV’IT! gear. Most of the...
The story of how I came about getting the Scorpion EXO-Talon gloves is a bit of a tale, but suffice...
