I have fairly wide hands but short, stubby fingers - and really struggle to find gloves that fit properly.
Most L sizes are too narrow at the wrist for me to get my hands in. XL sizes have fingers that are too long and have half an inch of empty finger at the end.
My choices of gloves that fit are Klim or RST - and Klim, nice as they may be, are more than 3 times the price!
Never been let down by an RST glove!
The air flow these have is amazing and being short cuffed it allows air to flow up your sleeves
The gloves look great, the ventilation through the back of the gloves is great on hot days. The gloves themselves a bit thick and don't allow a great amount of feel through and the inside stitching is really pronounced and rubs on my thumbs.
Wanted some brown summer gloves and these are exactly that, classic style, comfortable straight away. Spot on especially for the price.
They fit very snug.
Only downside the knuckle shield catches my wedding ring so need to be careful when taking them off
Hence only 4 stars
Apart from that they look good and feel nice on
Materials seem to be of good quality, but the knuckle protection is intrusive and the seam on the inside of the thumb digs in after a while. Maybe this will improve after further wear, but if have worn the off and on for a few hours now and it still gets uncomfortable.
I have an 11cm hand and ordered the XL. I haven't had chance to wear these in action yet, but they look great and are a good fit for me (as I have broad hands with relatively short fingers) but they do seem a little hefty for a summer glove compared to the Held gloves I have just retired. Very comfy though and much more robust that the Held gloves.
Other than that, my only criticism is that the possibility of the studded strap being of any practical use is a matter of chance. There are two settings and so if you're lucky enough to have just the right size wrists, they will likely give you good feel. In my case the large setting is loose and so does nothing and the small setting too tight. Having said that, I would rather have an ineffective but nice looking strap with a metal fastener than anything with Velcro on it.
Very pleased with the looks, fit and comfort of this shorty summer glove. I was a bit concerned that the maintenance instructions suggest they had a life expectancy of only 3 years - but hopefully that means 24/7 despatch rider use.
I used to look on line for best value biker products, now I just go to Sportsbikeshop because I know they have everything I need at the best price and huge stock. I love the gloves as well.
Good quality and comfortable. Only issue is I've had to go XL due to the L being too small (fingers were too short). Unfortunately the XL is slightly too big (in palm width only). I guess this is the down side to buying gloves online. Still do the job and feel comfortable to ride in, but a slightly more snug fit would be ideal, especially considering they're leather so they'll probably stretch a little bit.
Very pleased with these. The leather is soft, they look great and the fit is excellent.
Great looking gloves, and feel great too. Very comfy. Well worth the money
Very comfortable and quality and fitment excellent.
A wonderful snug pair of RST Roadster gloves. Once worn a few times they will give slightly and fitvones hands perfectly so you have a proper grip of the bars. Ideal fro spring summer and early Autumn riding. Looks uber cool matched up to the RST Roadster Leather Jacket. Stunning look and design. Excellent protection.
These gloves are great value for money. The fit is perfect and they are very comfy. Clearly a summer glove and they look good.
