Hello All..! I have bought a RR5 - and i thought i would treat myself to new gloves.. I had a pair of RST Pro gloves - these i have lost and it would seem RST do not make them any more - were a great glove and great value for money. So thinking shall i buy these: RST Slice Glove - Red - FREE UK DELIVERY other suggestions considered... Sam
You know what i think the Moto are the replacements for the old pro gloves.. RST Moto Pilot Evo Race Glove - Red - FREE UK DELIVERY
I ve been using the spada predator gloves and it was a test when i came off at silverstone that they held together........ great value for money
I have no experience of RST kit. I have some fairly new AStar GP Pro's and although I had to return them and go up a size bigger than normal, they are wearing in quite quickly and comfortable already, only down side is the small holes between the fingers and under the protection let in a draft like they are supposed to which will be great in summer, but not very warm this time of year.
I love my richa quattro gloves. I havent found another pair that offer so much comfort and protection but still thin enough to give you good feel
I would seem to be on border line for medium and large..should i allow for breathing room and get the large or stick with the medium as it will be a snug fit but not sure if it will cope - but i would think the medium would loosen up..No?
I've tried lots of different gloves over the years but always go back to Dainese as they fit great and are comfy for me I'm a huge fan of there stuff due to this
My RST gloves are are on the snug size. I don't know if it's an RST thing or a bike glove thing in general, but their Large is definitely too tight and with a normal glove it's fine. After a while it starts to ache between thumb and index finger, so my advice is try holding a handlebar tight with each size before deciding and see how the pressure point sits.
Held Phantoms or Held Titans are about the best sets of gloves on the market for safety and comfort, but then the price tag reflects it. If you got the money, you'll not buy better than these gloves. I've worn the Phantoms for a couple of years and won't use anyt other brand. I've had crashes in A*'s where the fingers have just ripped open on first impact.
I agree with bongo Held are bloody good gloves, mine are coming up 8 years old now and the cuff closure is just starting to tear on one hand.
Knox Handroids for me ! Backed up with a pair of Berik, cant remember the name as they use stupid codes!!
I'm very taken with Handroids, but I am a sucker for gimmicks anyway. I had a bit of an anxiety attack last year in Whites when I tried a pair and couldn't work out how to loosen the ratchet for tightening them up. Had to tuck it under my arm and yank it off before I hyper ventilated.
Class ! I was hyper ventilating too, when I paid for them. After riding for 10 minutes tho, I realised just how good a fit and how comfortable they were, didn't need braking in at all. Only complaint is the spoiler bit on the top of the glove keeps flicking out of the mounts, apparently it is supposed to do this and Knox do sell plenty of spares, hmmm!
Yeah, I'd have trouble justifying the cost, even if I borrowed against birthday/Christmas presents for the year. Plus, being an old fart, I'm also contemplating the heated gloves on the market too.
