going on a trip in October to Luxemburg and Ardennes, So I figure the weather may be changeable. I would like to take two oIrs or gloves, a waterproof pair and a thin comfy pair, Any suggestions
I've just taken these on a week's ride round Snowdonia. https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesoci...-gore-tex-waterproof-motorcycle-gloves-review Cheapest I could find was on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/283337561070 Excellent waterproof summer gloves in all but the hottest weather, in which case I switch to these: https://www.getgeared.co.uk/revit-motorcycle-summer-gloves-dirt-2-black Both are touchscreen compatible.
Rukka Apollo had a pair for a few years. Good in all weathers. Bought some R-star 2 in 1 and some ceres recently, R Stars seem a bit bulky but a very good concept and would only be worn on coldest of days. Ceres a gore tex short glove nice and comfortable thinner but a good replacement for the Apollo. As nobody on here knows me or more importantly the mrs I can admit to buying a pair of rukka rytmi this week, probably my go to pair for the summer now, nice soft leather shorties fit like a .............
I counted the other day the different pairs of gloves I have.........7 pairs! The ones I use most are my Knox Handroids when wearing my one piece, my Dainese short gloves for summer riding with my textile jacket, my Furygan winter gloves with my Scrambler jacket and my Rukka wet weather gloves with my textiles.
Which Dainese short gloves have you got El? I used to have some pistons and quite fancy some more for our Sumner trip up from Santander to Caen
I bought some knox handroid, coolest looking gloves by a long long way imo, I gave them away after 3 wears, my thumbs didnt reach to the tip and made using them clumsy so I recommend anyone try these on rather than order online. I should mention that thumb length and penis length are probly connected
You get to make robot noises when you move in them . On a serious note, they are very secure/protective, comfortable (after bedding in) and wear well due to being very well made.
The only answer us to go try several pairs on in a bike shop. The fit feels different across all sizes depending on summer/ winter, track/road, armour/not etc etc. Took me ages to get a pair that fit me properly. I now have 3 properly fitting pairs and several that don’t fit (internet purchases).
Bit of a glove whore, not sure how many pairs I have, a drawer full... Use a pair of Held Goretex without a thermal lining in wet weather and have a varied selection of shorty gloves for dry warm weather; Rukka Rytmi, Furygan TD21, and a pair from Richa that I got at the NEC one year. Select those depending what else I'm wearing. I accept that the last two aren't going to provide the same sort of protection as a pair of Handroids but to me comfort is also important. Have tried Handroids and they're, to me at least, not that good a fit (have I just confessed to having a small todgger)...
They're like magic gloves. I slid down the track at 70mph in my brand spanking new Knox Androids. Other than my fingers stinging like fek, I was fine. I thought my new gloves would be toast but when I inspected them I could not find the slightest scuff, scratch or blemish. Harry Potter shit I tell thee.... Leathers were a mess...
I use these https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/99478 and find they are good for almost all year riding especially if you have heated grips. They can be worn as lightweight vented gloves or slightly thicker lined and waterproof .
I've got Berring GoreTex gloves which have been great but the cuff is really short and they are still on the thicker side. My missus just bought me some Five WP gloves because I tried them at the superbikes and loved them, they are thin like a summer glove nearly but have summer glove style armour so better for chilly spring morning rides than vented leather. https://five-gloves.com/glove/sport-wp/ The fit is absolutely excellent.
My wet weather / winter gloves are Held Goretex. https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/111402 My every day gloves were out the discount bin to replace my rst ones. Tried handroid but they didnt fit.
