Racer Mickey Gloves

I purchased a pair of Racer Mickeys in 2016 as a do-all short cuff glove. The original Mickey glove was very protective, almost a short cuff race glove. Think Five SF1 or similar. Superfabric over the sliders, rigid one piece knuckle protection w/ padding, non elastic cuff, stiff TPU on top of hand, thin mesh between fingers but clarino/leather over the ends. Very solid glove. My pair saw 20k miles and probably a dozen "teachable moments" over a couple years of supermoto and minimoto track days. The redesign is terrible. I gave 3 stars bc Racer USA is high quality and I have no doubt they will last for years and stand up to asphalt. It's just not the same class of glove as the old version. The ceramic superfabric on sliders has been replaced with lookalike plastic, the sliders themselves are softer w/ less padding (unlike the older race style sliders), the cuff has elastic section (I don't like bc easier to come off), the mesh between fingers has been replaced w/ leather/clarino so you cannot spread your fingers and get airflow, the knuckle protection is no longer a rigid one piece design (top of glove is now flexible vs rigid), and the thumb has significantly less protection. Almost everything that I liked about the glove has been changed in it's transformation to a "summer" glove, but it still flows less air that the original. It will probably be a bomb ass dual sport glove (my future usage, I guess), and remains a high quality option for Sportster/hipster/cool guy market if you're also cross shopping Biltwell or Alpinestars Oscar. It's just not a track capable short cuff glove like it's predecessor. I regret cutting the tags off, and should have looked at them closer before the first use.

Nice looking gloves, and apparently protective on the top of the hand. It was the palm that caused me to immediately return the gloves. With a wife in dermatology, and understanding you cannot graft the skin of the palm, these gloves not having leather palms was a deal breaker for me. Fit was excellent, though.

A year ago, I purchased Racer High Speed gloves as my previous Alpinestars had worn out. These were the most comfortable gloves I have ever used. Naturally when my short gloves wore out, I decide to try the Race Mickey gloves. This company silently makes the BEST fitting, MOST comfortable gloves I have ever used. I don't understand why they dont own the motorcycle glove market.

Love these things. Flow tons of air. My palm measures 9" and middle finger measures 8.5". XL fits me perfectly. Light and airy. I totally trust the knuckle and palm sliders. Rode with them down into the 50s. A little chilly but manageable. Best dexterity I've had in a glove yet.

I had been looking for a pair of summer-weight gloves for use around town. I read a magazine review of these gloves and decided to give them a try. They were soft right out of the box and appear to be well made. They are extremely comfortable, but with a pretty good amount of protection.

Just got these, and have not rode with them yet, but I don't have to. These gloves feel great. Watch the video review as he is spot on. Comfortable and flexible. I recommend them.
