Motorcycle Glove Fit and Sizing Guide
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/mo...
Once you've determined you're price range, and what features you want in a glove, the most important thing is how the glove fits. During our glove shootout, Van and Jimmy were really able to see the importance of a proper fitting glove, and how a glove that doesn't fit well can negatively impact the performance of a glove. In this video we will show you how a glove is supposed to fit, and some of the ways to help determine if the glove is a proper fit. Once you get your gloves, before you take the tags off, put the gloves on and make sure they fit correctly. Test your feel with the gloves on, test how they feel the the handlebar in your hand.

What about pre curve?? Ive got 1000 miles on my Full Metal RS and I still have to fight to open up my hand all the way. I know you never need to fully extend your fingers while riding ( unless someone cuts you off while on their phone) but Id like to know if that pre curve will always be this restrictive.

@EcFlipz 3 года назад

What would be your advice for someone like me, in between sizes M/L. Most times, especially with A-stars, medium is quite tight on the palm, perfect around the fingers but length is well short. For large, very loose around the palms but the fingers 5cm too long typically at the thumb and index. I own both M & L A-stars gloves and are not happen with either. Is there any brands you suggest that might suit better?

@sportbiketrackgear 3 года назад

If you are having issues with fit I would suggest going to a shop and trying some gloves on. Brands to look for are RS Taichi, RST and Racer. We have a ton of the RST gloves on the way to us now that should be here soon. - Van

@AndyPutt1 3 года назад

Thankyou for your segment. I also check where the palm slider sits- on my palm or is it too low? ALso the knuckle protectors- are they actually over the knuckles or more over the back of the hand? If they answer is "yes" to either of those questions the gloves is too big. No point having a palm slider not on your palm or knuckle protectors not over you knuckles.

@Veniessubdentem 3 года назад

Hi, I bought a pair of Spanish Garibaldi Defence pro in the L size (10). 8 of my fingers fit perfectly, but my thumbs feel cramped in the gloves and if I extend my thimbs to press the horn, I feel my thumb digging into the edge stitching. Should I go one size up (where there is about 2mm gap between 8 of my fingers while holding on the grips but no gap on the thumbs) or stick with the 10 size? The gloves are a hybrid textile/cow leather spring/summer/fall type (somewhere between a full gauntlet and short wrist)

@sportbiketrackgear 3 года назад

Sorry I am not familiar with that brand at all. - Van

@Firestorm637 4 года назад

The gloves feels nice. The thumb is to the end of the glove but the other fingers about 1/2 inch short of glove fingertips. Is that ok it go down another size?

@sportbiketrackgear 4 года назад

The only way to find out would be to try them on. - Van

@Rajinish09 4 года назад

@Sportbike Track Gear. I am using Astar gp tech small size. The fitting is too tight but finger length is good. Medium size feel good at the palm but the finger is too long. I have short fingers, What do you suggest for me? What do you think about revit jerez? ( Revit spitfire medium size is perfect for me).

@sportbiketrackgear 4 года назад

We offer some of the Revit products but have not put a lot of effort into updates as our customers have never shown much interest in them over the years. In your case the best way to get a good fitting pair of gloves will be to go to a shop and try on several pair. We have a ton of gloves here in stock but like other dealers our showroom is currently closed due to the Coronapocolypse. When this passes you need to go to a shop. - Van

@konstantinos_iliadis 4 месяца назад

Great and helpful video thanx, just one question. I tried an alpinestars glove, the fingers fitted all the way in, wrist was fine, but stretching the thumb was tight, it was stretching the inside of the glove too much, when opening my thumb, is that an issue? Will it affect reaching the front brake ?

@TheLastUchiha337 4 месяца назад

My problem with Alpinestars is XL fits great, but the pinky and ring finger is a tad long. I'll probably have to switch to L and just stretch it out as best I could.

@submissions72 5 лет назад

The worst part about gloves Brian is that different companies use different sizes. A Joe Rocket large is too large for me, but a AS large fits me just right and my finger tips are right at the edge of the gloves. Where a JR gloves my fingers don't reach all the way to the tip and gets caught up underneath my brake levers which takes an extra second for me to move my fingers when I'm braking, ya... It's not the best thing. This almost forces me to buy retail from a bike shop and overpay cause I can physically check the glove size.

@utubecomtw13 5 лет назад

@sportbiketrackgear 5 лет назад

@andrewc1441 5 лет назад

I can never find a glove that fits over my hand but then my fingers aren’t swimming in extra material. Are there brands that notoriously have shorter fingers? Or short sizing?

@sportbiketrackgear 5 лет назад

Held does offer some models with various finger length, they are the only brand I have seen do this. Glove fit and sizing is very similar from most of the common brands at this point the only thing I can suggest is coming into the shop and trying on several pairs to see if you find one that suits you. Wish I had a better answer. - Van

@TGRIFF714 5 лет назад

Thanks for the this and all the videos! Which gloves crash better? thinking along the lines of repair potential and ability to use again after a crash? Does the knox palm sliders hold up better than a kangaroo or kevlar reinforcement during a palm slide? Are external seams better that internal seams for crashability?

@sportbiketrackgear 5 лет назад

IMO the Heroic gloves will get you the best crash durability. Heroic also offers repair service for their gloves here in the US. I think they are the only brand that repairs their own gloves. - Van

@riskysway2542 Месяц назад

My gloves are larger than neccessary, but i still find it very hard to use the turn signals. What can i do?

@sportbiketrackgear 28 дней назад

I would go to a shop and try on some other models to see if you can find one that offers you more dexterity. Having the gloves larger than they need to be will reduce feel. - Van

+Sportbike Track Gear but what if you have freakishly short fingers? please direct me to the manufactures that make gloves with the shortest fingers. I just measured. My middle finger is 3 1/4" from webbing the tip (no nails). My thumb is 2 1/2" from webbing to tip. Please help. im interested in race gauntlets.

@sportbiketrackgear 5 лет назад

IMO you will need to have a pair of gloves altered or have a custom pair made. There is no manufacture that offers this type of fit. - Van

@megatrolltrollington 5 лет назад

@@sportbiketrackgear ok thanks.

@kzoomin 4 года назад

Not sure if you bought gloves already. But a Held in size 7 fits my hands similar to yours. For sure tight at first. But after break in it fits perfect. 7+ is same palm size but longer finger length.

@mircea5013 3 месяца назад

hhh.. gloves are a nightmare to me. My fingers' length is of a Large glove. But my fingers are narrower, so Large feels loose. So does the rest of the glove, it feels big. So then I try out a Medium. My fingers are too long for a Medium, but the glove is fine in other aspects. Tf do I do? Fining a pair is SO difficult, and I can't even be pretentious to what kind of glove it is, or the protection on it. I'm just praying it fits.
