I followed the size guide and got a pair of gloves that fit me perfectly. The glove has plenty of flexibility and grip, very functional and a design that I found very appealling.

Snug fit
03 Jan 2026 by Stephen
These gloves fit snug, not too tight but enough that are nicely fitted and there is little to no room left in the glove. Would suggest getting a size bigger than you would normally wear.

Nice gloves

Decent gloves with good protection that I will hopefully never need to test. Would recommend trying on before buying as sizing a bit on the small side, would definitely order at least one size up.

Excellent gloves until.........
15 Aug 2025 by David J
Owned these gloves for just over 2 years, really liked them until the developed a hole in the seam of the left hand glove. Considering the fact that I've only done about 2500 miles in them I thought this was exceptionally poor. other than the split seam they still look like new. Was told SBS could not help me owing to the age of the gloves.

Excellent summer glove
13 Aug 2025 by Nigel T
High levels of protection and comfortable in summer heat 30*C. Others report the sizing comes up large but I did not find this to be the case. My medium size was a snug fit which I anticipate will adjust to perfect sizing.

Comfy gloves, true to size. Not sold as waterproof but hold off light showers easily enough following a Nikwax leather spray

Love my RST Tractech Evo 4 Short Gloves in White! They’re super comfy, fit perfectly, and the grip is awesome for riding. The leather feels tough and I enjoy all the protection features. Can't beat the price either, totally worth it - 5 stars!
