The media could not be loaded. I have mixed feelings upon first trying on these motorcycle gloves. They look good. They have adequate knuckle protection and mediocre palm protection. But, this glove is really small. Seems like a kid's glove. I'm a normal sized 6 foot man. The large I ordered barely makes it to my wrist. And, the velcro strap leaves a pretty big gap at the opening.

When I tried on the glove, it DID fit over my fingers and I AM able to close my fist as if I'm gripping the throttle. I think it's important for a snug fit and to not have slack. But I don't know. I'll have to take a few rides to give this an adequate review, but my initial review is 4 stars - 3 for fit, 5 for price.

UPDATE: After a number of rides since this review, my only beef is the size, as mentioned. I should've ordered an XL, not the L.

Comfortable and good value for the money

These MC gloves are excellent! I had my first set now for a year and they barely show wear. They are very comfortable and most importantly have critical protection features, one of which I can hardly find elsewhere. Hand (and foot) injuries are by far the most common in all MC crashes, even light ones. Massive knuckle guards on these gloves still do not inhibit comfort and movement, but are robust and with a slick surface so they glide over the road surface avoiding the hand to "stick" and breaking with a Smith radial fracture when it hits the tarmac. Again, important is that these pads can slide on the surface with minimum resistance and not "stick" to the road surface to avoid this injury! This is one of the very few gloves that have a true and thick skidpad on the corner of the palm inside to prevent a colle radial fracture when you hit the road surface. To accomplish this a pad must again actually be able to slide on the surface and NOT "stick" like fabric or leather, so slick and thick plastic is best. Look around ... few of the even expensive gloves have these features in such a design. Pads might be there, but they are often covered in fabric or even leather and this will reduce the ability of the glove to slide, which is critical to protect against these injuries.

I am a 76.5-year-old guy who wants to buy a V11 unicycle. From watching videos, it looks like fun. Step one is to go to the community swimming pool and start swimming laps, to get some needed body tone. Second is to buy equipment that will let me fall as many times as it will take to learn how to ride. The V11 can go up to 34.1 miles per hour, or at lower speeds up to 70 miles on a single 12 cent electric charge. Unicycles have no steering wheel, or seat belts, so you will need to suit up enough to slide down a cement road, when you make a mistake. We all learn by making mistakes. It will happen, so plan for it. I bought XL orange gloves, because I wanted to have enough color on my hands to let people see me if I am on the road with any cars. I also bought Large CTHOPER Impact Wrist Guard Fitted Wrist Brace Wrist Supports.

Both the XL gloves and the Large Wrist Guards arrived in the mail today, 3 days after I placed a free shipping order. I was very happy with the speed of delivery, at no extra cost. My initial idea was to put the wrist guard on first, and then the gloves. This did not work, the gloves are too small for this approach, but gloves first then wrist guard did work. I am wearing them around the house, and so far they seem comfortable enough to have them on for 4 or 5 hours. I have one month in which to change my mind and return them. But on this first day, they both seem like keepers.

You might want to know, why do this at my age? All my life I have been living in my head, as a software engineer, spiritual seeker, amateur physicist, thinking all the time, with the hidden goal of avoiding my body. This V11 riding seems like the best way to become more alive. Vividly awake, it will be exciting to fly down the street, and not be dead yet. There is still time to live fully.
