1. Very good gloves
Overall a very nice pair of well made and protective gloves.
size appears true to the size chart. I bought size large which according to the size chart is good for a hand that measures 7.5 inches from finger tip to wrist. My hands measure 7.6”, so I knew going in the gloves might be a touch short in the fingers. Middle, index and thumb Fingers are indeed a touch short for my hands. For reference my middle finger measures 3.4375 inches from base to tip (ring finger side) and 3.625 inches from base to tip (index finger side). My thumbs measure 2.5 inches long and the gloves are also a touch short in the thumbs. The pinkie finger in the gloves has extra room which does not bother me.
Internal seams on the top side of the fingers get caught up in my fingernails. This would probably not be noticeable except that my fingers are a bit long for the gloves. External seams would have eliminated this issue, though they don’t look as nice.
I have taken one 90 mile ride in cool dry weather and all issues related to finger length are already improved. I suspect they will fit quite well after a few hundred miles.
Five stars For protection, materials, and construction. Minus one star as these are only CE level 1 which is disappointing considering the price, and armor.
These have Knox palm sliders on both medial and lateral aspects of the palm which is excellent. The lateral slider is an “L” shape which contacts the throttle. It’s not particularly obtrusive, but for street use, consider moving one glove down Racer’s lineup to the High Racer which has a rectangular lateral palm slider that has less chance of contacting the throttle.
Overall I am happy with the purchase, and with the service from STG.
