Leatt ADV 6.5 HydraDri Short Gloves - Stealth Black / Grey Great pair of gloves
At first, they were difficult to pull on, however, after wearing them for just one day,
they now fit perfectly
Sizing, for me, was spot on (XL)
Really comfortable, good grip, waterproof and not too warm in higher temperatures
Not bulky, like some waterproof gloves
The visor wipe, on the finger, is brilliant, and works really well
Good value for money
Rev'it Sand 5 H2O Leather Gloves - Black / Grey Very good quality excellent gloves.
Dainese Karakum Ergo-Tek Textile Gloves - Black / Army Green Snug fit putting them on (relative to size) — true to sizing guide. feel good and good feel. High quality lightly-armoured summer gloves.
Dainese X-Ride 2 Ergo-Tek Gloves - Black / Fluo Red Fabulous short sport gloves. Really well armoured, feels like the higher level of protection of a full race glove — in a short easy to wear version. Recommend them.
Knox Urbane Pro Gloves - Black Ok, for warmer weather this is the glove to have. Lovely breeze flows through it. However in high 30 degree temps and a few hours of riding my hand did get a little sweaty. I mean at that temperature/weather you’ll get sweaty no matter what. But the issue is they left black stains on my hands. Took a lot of scrubbing to get it off also. Feel harsh including it down a star but another point is that the seam on my thumb used to dig in a bit here and there. It’s gotten a bit better the more I’ve worn them but it’s worth noting as to begin with it wasn’t a nice feeling.
Rukka Forsair 2.0 Gloves - Black I already have some Rukka Virium gloves and thought these would be similar, but better for the warm weather… and they are exactly that. Cooler but much the same fit and feel.
Knox Orsa Textile OR4 Gloves - Black Bought these gloves unknowingly the day before I crashed badly and broke both arms. Theses gloves saved my hands from any serious damage…my fingers only suffered bruising. Honestly I will not wear any other gloves now and tell everyone I can how good they are for protection.
