Review Summary The Racer USA Verano is a simple short-cuff black leather glove with plenty of ventilation. The Verano gloves are well-built and should hold up for the long run. Racer USA notes that they fit about a ½ size larger than other gloves, so attention should be paid to...
Last year I reviewed the Richa Airstorm WP Jacket and Softshell Mesh Pants and liked them. So when I reached...
You should always wear gloves when riding—but with cooler temperatures and greater windchill on the way in the coming weeks, covering...
REV’IT! is headquartered in Oss Netherlands, a country well known for its love of two-wheel transportation, but not a country that leaps to mind when I think of high fashion or style. Based on that logic, it totally makes sense why the Kryptonite 2 GTX gloves strike me as plain...
There are plenty of warm-weather short cuff motorcycle gloves out there, but the REV’IT Sand 4 Gloves make a pretty...

The story of how I came about getting the Scorpion EXO-Talon gloves is a bit of a tale, but suffice it to say, I bought a pair of Scorpion EXO-Vortex Air gloves way back in June 2021 at my preferred gear shop in town. I wore them home, took them...

Background If you’ve been reading my reviews over the years, then you know I have something of a glove fetish....
Note: Thanks to Racer Gloves USA for providing the Pitlane Gloves for this review I always carry extra gloves in case of changing weather during my ride. So when Racer Gloves USA asked us if we would like to try out some of their gloves, I asked for two pairs,...

Introduction Earlier this year I took a look at the Alpinestars SP Air gloves as an option for a protective...
The Motonation Campeon gloves are a value-priced short leather glove with an MSRP of $50. They come with a few nice-to-haves, such as touchscreen-compatible fingertips and additional armor on the knuckles. These two-almost-three-season gloves are at their best from late-spring to early-fall, and having spent June 2019 to date with...
Introduction One never has enough riding gear, and this includes gloves, of all types and purpose. Gloves are, to degrees,...
Introduction I want to start off by saying that I haven’t been a fan of short cuff gloves for the...
Everyone that knows me understands that I have a mild glove fetish. At one time I had over 20 pairs of motorcycle gloves, including a pair of fingerless gloves I don’t recall ever wearing. I’ve also reviewed several pairs of gloves in the past for wBW such as the Spidi...
Introduction Recently, Trilobite sent me a “Care Package” in the form of a box containing their new Go-Up jeans, the...
Beating the summer heat for the motorcycle rider is always a challenge. Protective gear can be stifling in the hot...
The weather is starting to turn here already (seriously), and now the Tasker’s have become the glove of choice for my morning rides. In the thick of summer I tend to stick with textile or mesh gloves that allow for maximum airflow, but when the needle dips below 48F, I’m...
For me, touch is important. I like to have the ability to touch lightly with just a finger or two...
The Knox Orsa gloves are cool and comfortable for summer, with all the protective features you’d expect from Knox. They’re...
The REV’IT! Cayenne Pro short-gauntlet gloves have a lot of protection for summer motorcycle riding. The overall build quality is outstanding, putting some of the other gloves we’ve reviewed recently to shame. They also have a very comfortable fit with a remarkable amount of dexterity and feel. Designed to be worn under...
Excellent quality hot-weather gloves with a touch of kangaroo leather and Superfabric. Not the ultimate in protection, but perhaps enough to...
While not perfect, the Klim Induction gloves offer a winning combination of protective features, comfort and feel and hot weather...
The Icon Anthem Blender gloves are also new for 2015. This is the third and final pair in this brief “Too Light for Summer” look at ultra-lightweight motorcycle riding gloves. To be perfectly blunt, it’s difficult to recommend the Icon Anthem Blender gloves for any type of serious street riding. The gloves have...
It is seldom the season for mesh gloves in London; mine get so little wear I’ve been using the same...
The Dainese Veleta gloves are an interesting new design for 2014. The design is a successful mashup of features cribbed...
AGV Sport “Mercury” Motorcycle Gloves Review The AGV Sport Mercury gloves are a lightweight summer choice with barely-there protection. But, but…at a nearly giveaway price and with probably the best reflectivity you’ll ever find on any pair of motorcycle gloves…and a pretty darn nice main knuckle protector, well, why not?...
The REV’IT! Sand Pro and Striker gloves are similar in both design and intended use. They are two of five...
The Racer “Guide” Gloves have a short gauntlet and perforated sections for cooler summer riding. The gloves also feature Clarino and goat...
The Racer “Mickey” Gloves are another short gauntlet summer type but with more protective features than the Racer Guide gloves (review). The most prominent feature of the Mickey gloves is the large bifurcated Superfabric-covered main knuckle protector. Another Superfabric-covered slider protects the scaphoid. Only the top of the inside of the gloves has a...
Let’s just put it this way: the Firstgear Kathmandu gloves did not live up to my expectations. As I mentioned...
Not bad looking, comfortably soft leather and — surprise! — fully waterproof. The Olympia 180 Monsoon gloves have no armor and...
New for 2011, the Olympia “Switch” gloves are so named because of their dual-purpose liner. Slide your hand over or under the non-removable liner for your choice of warmth or grip. These are a good-looking pair of gloves and — surprise — they actually fit as expected. The faux carbon fiber “knuckle protectors”...
Airvolution. The name suggests the breathability of this revolutionary leather summer glove. But you don’t have to give up protection...
A short-cuffed textile and leather glove with protection and attitude. Even with hard knuckle armor, these gloves are very comfortable...
Short-cuffed leather gloves with integrated knuckle armor and reinforced palms for extra protection. Every motorcyclist needs a variety of gloves depending on the riding conditions she (or he) will be in. That means warm or cold, longer gauntlet or short cuffs and leather vs. mesh or textile. I love having...
Superb quality and thoughtful design make the Dainese “Guanto” X-ILE gloves a summertime winner! Motorcycle gloves probably make the most difficult...
