Bought these for the recent very hot summer we’ve been having, they have mostly done the job. Bought large which is normal size for me, and found them very tight, but seem to have stretched to fit after a week of commuting. Knuckle could have more flexibility. Not sure if a bigger size would have been better.
Very breathable, and quite a bit of armour, not sure how strong the mesh is. They are good but some annoyances and not being perfect keeps at 4*
Air flow through them is brilliant, best gloves I've found for summer riding. With my Knox jacket, it's been bearable!
I always wear RST medium gloves but the first pair I ordered as a medium I struggled to get back off! I know gloves normally need some wearing in time, but it was far too tight. Ordered the large and returned the medium. Large are much much better. SBS were brilliant with returns and refund., Definitely go a size up or try both to see the fit.
I bought these to replace an older pair of mesh gloves. The Vortek gloves allow lots of airflow through the fingers and back of the hands as you would expect, but unlike my previous gloves they also offer knuckle and scaphoid protection.
Good summer gloves
Great lightweight armoured vented gloves, perfect for summer!
