Was looking for a summer glove with good protection and even better ventilation. I have so many leather perforated gloves with palm sliders but these are my new favorite summer glove for sure! The ventilation is amazing

I had to get a size even tho the chart said I am Medium. Large fits perfectly. This glove gives enough protection without compromising a lot of breathability. They are great for Summer.

7. Cheap stitching

Well let's start out with some positives. Proably the lightest, most comfortable glove I've worn. It was an instant perfect fit for me. Perfectly snug, not too loose, not too snug. Just straight up perfect. Lot's of airflow, never had issues with sweaty hands and putting them on or off.

I found this brand randomly. I was at a local coffee shop that also had moto gear and this was one of the brands they carried. Here in SoCal. I tried on a pair of RST451 Drystar Compass Taichi gloves. Perfect fit yet again with those and had to bring them home because I was amazed I finally found a pair first try that fit very well. It was colder at the time and keep me warm still to this day. So I went home and seen these RST442 mesh gloves for the summer coming up. They immediately caught my eye and everything I've been looking for. Mid length, airflow, protectors on the finger knuckles, carbon fiber on the main knuckles, palm sliders, and a little bit of padding on the wrist area which these have an actual slider so even better! Cost didn't seem to dramatic so I purchased these from here, everything went fine.

So after one season of riding in summer. The stitching around the index fingertips started to rip apart. I thought the soft material on the palms and fingers were going to wear faster and breakdown sooner than a stitching.

Just be aware of the soft material on the palm/finger side as it will deteriorate from rubbing against the levers and bars, and the cheap stitching around the finger tips. I wouldn't recommend this glove especially at the price since it does not seem to be good quality. If the palm side was goat leather then I'd buy them again in a heart beat and give them a try again but the soft material on the side palm just seem so cheap. Also doesn't feel there is any padding on that area under the fingers and top of the palm where your hands are on the bars. So you may get some hard callus there if you grip too tight.

I may try this brand again as it's super comfortable on my hands but definitely not this glove in particular. Other gloves I've tried are Reax, Spidi, A*, Dainese, and a few others with many seasons and miles and lasted longer. So looking for another summer glove atm and the search continues,

Bought these cause I needed a good pair of summer gloves with safety and touch screen.
Stitching looks better then AP Gloves
Size reference: I bought a large and it fits me good
I normally wear 'Medium' in AP GP Pro, 'Large' AP SPX Air, and 'Medium in Dainese Carbon gloves short/long
