Introduction
Motorcycle Glove GP-EVO R is a glove for professional motorcycling with modern safety features and a design inspired by traditional Japanese warrior armor, Yoroi-Kabuto. When engineering how best to fit the hard protector over the soft glove, the resin-molded protector was prototyped utilizing 3D printing in order to perfectly match ergonomic functionality with the shape of the glove. In the case of a fall, the resin-molded protector reduces the frictional resistance against the road surface. This lessens the impact energy in order to prevent hand injuries. With the combination of two types of natural leather and elastic aramid fiber, the glove ensures a comfortable fit as well as freedom of movement unimpaired by the protector. This glove has received important recognition at the Red Dot Design Awards, the international event celebrating products that feature the most innovative and futuristic design. GP EVO R won in the product design category.

A little long no the fingers. Rest is perfect

High-end gloves for less money than others!
I recently purchased a second pair of these to have on hand incase of a rain race or to have a dry set ready to go. The fit is very good and there is little to no break-in required out of the box. Would recommend to anyone looking for a top-of-the-line race glove.

GP-EVO
I race and the GP-EVO are the best racing gloves I have ever used. It is hard to get all the protection and still keep the glove flexible and form fitting. Taichi achieves this with the GP-EVO.

Excellent Comfort and quality
They feel good the first time you put them on, and after one session on the track, they feel perfect. I crash tested the pair I bought last year. The sliders did their jobs, the leather did it's job. The seam between the split knuckle armor tore from the stretch fabric about 1/2 inch. My hand sustained a small bruise directly under, but nothing broken. Without gloves of this level of quality, I'm sure I would have some broken serious hand injury. The gloves sustained just enough damage for me to warrant concern over another big slide, so I'm coming back for another pair.

Limited life span
Gloves are very comfortable, but have a major Achilles heel in that the stitching doesn't hold up. I've purchased two pairs. With the first the stitching on the palm slider came undone causing it to fall off with about ten laps use, no crash. The second pair lasted about 8 track days and now two fingers have split open. If you buys these make sure you have a pack up pair of gloves.

Weird fit on my pinkie knuckle
These fit great when you first put them on, but riding on the track there's a huge pressure point on my pinkie knuckle. Feels bruised at the end of the day. There's just not a enough volume in the part of the glove or where the top panel is stitched in needs to be pushed out a couple of mm so it doesn't taper down across the knuckle. FWIW I do have fairly wide knuckles which is why I tried these vs something with the typical hard knuckle protector. Those are usually too narrow as well. If I sized up then the fingers would be too long.

Great Glove
RS Taichi continues to impress with this glove. It does run smaller than most other gloves. I normally wear an XL, but because of large palms, a 2X is a snug fits and a 3X is what I use when I want more room for a glove liner on a cool day. The quality of this glove is remarkable.
