Ranking of the best motorcycle gloves 2020

As soon as the weather begins to improve and the snow starts to melt, each owner of a two-wheeled iron horse begins an urgent inventory. First of all, it is recommended to check the tires, oil and candles, but this does not mean that after inspecting the motorcycle you can immediately hit the road. Indeed, in addition to the mechanical parts of the car, there is another extremely important point, namely the convenience of the driver. And if it is enough for a motorist to take care of more or less high-quality shoes, then motorcycle fans should definitely stock up on gloves. And this, at first glance, simple point can become a real problem, because choosing the really right gloves is quite difficult (especially for a beginner). This ranking of the best motorcycle gloves 2020 is designed to help you save time and money, as well as figure out what the gloves are suitable for, and what needs to be considered.

For newbies

Of course, you can focus solely on the external factor and the price - they say, all gloves are the same, the main thing is that they look cool. However, this method entails a rather quick disappointment, both in convenience and in the durability of the purchased equipment (except in very rare cases). When it comes to gloves for beginners, they don't have to choose world-class products and pay serious money for them.

Below are the best representatives of the niche for beginners, from really good brands worth up to 5 thousand rubles (it is worth noting that in this segment the most expensive model costs about 3,000, but there is practically no particular difference between the listed models and the more expensive ones, and the real quality improvement begins exactly after 5000).

Thor S15 Spectrum

Price: 1900 rubles.

These Thor cross-country gloves have a fairly low price and a very attractive design. However, in addition to this, they are also comfortable and sit comfortably on the hand (hugging it). Manufacturing material - textiles with plastic inserts, due to which the skin is able to "breathe" (there are special holes on the inside of the product). External rubber pads, while not capable of providing significant protection, do an excellent job of minor damage, protecting the most vulnerable parts of the hand.

With regard to the characteristics of the material: the gloves are lightweight, have good flexibility and at the same time demonstrate good wear resistance. These factors allow the driver to forget about them on the way and fully concentrate on the road, and special notches located on the inner side of the phalanx of the fingers contribute to this (stronger adhesion to the surfaces of the controls is created).

Using the S15 Spectrum allows you to forget about any problems and completely surrender to the road. Gloves perfectly fit the shape of a hand without any inconvenience (you should carefully choose the size), it is also worth highlighting the Velcro fastener, which allows you to quickly put on / take off the gloves.

• Price;
• Quite good quality;
• Comfort and convenience;
• Ventilation;
• Security elements are present (low level);
• Modern design;
• Provides tight contact with the surface.

• Weak defense;
• It is important to choose the right size (otherwise, comfort in this model is out of the question);
• Depreciation of elements and material (however, the indicators are fully consistent with the price).

Conclusion: a great option for beginners - stylish, high-quality and, most importantly, comfortable Thor S15 Spectrum gloves can last a long time, but you should not forget about careful handling and choosing the right size.

Ride 100% COGNITO

Price: 2580 rubles.

American manufacturer Ride 100% knows how to make cross / ATV gloves really high quality and at a reasonable price. It is important to note that COGNITO also has a very wide range of colors (red, orange, green, black), so choosing a design to your liking is not difficult. But the main thing lies inside the product, as gloves are often called the ideal option for beginners, because they are distinguished by their convenience and unprecedented functionality.

So, the material of the outfit is high-quality fabrics that allow you to forget about stiffness - the gloves bend and stretch in all directions, which makes them very comfortable. It is also worth noting that if air permeability is a separate item in personal selection criteria, but at the same time you want to have wind protection and water resistance, then COGNITO can become simply an uncontested solution. The company's specialists took great care of the removal of moisture (the surface is made of hypoallergenic and antibacterial substances), thanks to which the sweat quickly comes out, and the material dries instantly.

We should also talk about the durability of the model. So, the manufacturer promises resistance to tearing and abrasion, and there is no reason not to believe Ride 100%. The company also took care of protection by inserting D30-inserts that can protect against minor mechanical damage.

And finally, about convenience. Here the Americans have surpassed all expectations, having foreseen literally everything. So, the model has an ergonomic cut, which does not restrict movement at all (mesh panels inside promote air exchange, leaving the skin dry). And special single pads made of silicone (Clarino perforated palm) significantly improve grip. Moreover, the problem of rubbing the thumb has been solved (not to say that it haunted all motorists, but for some it is really a very important point) by creating an additional "cushion" of fabric in the contact area. And as a result, the ability to adjust the cuff (hook and loop) has been added, so that now the gloves can be adjusted to fit almost to millimeters.

In terms of design, it is quite restrained for 2020, although the brand's logo (100%), together with rich colors, add some uniqueness to it.

• Price;
• Quality;
• Security elements are present (low level);
• Various color options;
• High-quality material (dries quickly, does not tear, does not wear off, flexible);

• Air exchange;
• Convenience;
• Fixed the problem of the "thumb".

• Weak defense;
• The cuff is stretched.

The gloves are made from high quality textile material and are characterized by unprecedented lightness and excellent breathability. Therefore, they are great for sports on hot summer days. Safety has not been forgotten here either: the driver's palms are protected by a double ball of tissue that prevents injuries, and the joints are protected by a foam pad with memory (remembers the position of the knuckles).An important fact is that the surface of the gloves does not slip, providing a tight contact, and a number of puffs and Velcro are designed to secure the gloves in the desired position.

The design is quite restrained, but fans of the championship will immediately recognize the brand's logo, so there is simply no need for any external delights.

• Quality;
• Ideal for summer;

So, first of all, it is flexibility. Applying innovative developments, the company's employees managed to create a unique Fox Tru Feel technology, which, together with the CORDURA ripstop shipping fabric, provides this specimen with simply unprecedented sensitivity, precision and responsiveness during control.

In addition, the fabric has excellent wear-resistant qualities and does not lose flexibility over time. Tru Feel technology lives up to its name, guaranteeing superior sensitivity through unique finger-side TPR injection sleeves. Therefore, working with small and sensitive objects (like zippers, fasteners, levers) becomes incredibly easy. All of the above is supported by protection such as TPR upholstery, which protects against bruises and impacts.

The Americans have well thought out the system of waterproofing and wind protection, and also paid attention to increasing the level of air exchange, using modern materials. However, the main feature of HYDROMATIC BRISKER is precisely in thermal insulation - for this a special ball has been created, consisting of a soft shell. And the excellent "breathable" microfiber lining will allow you to forget about unpleasant odors, allergies and other problems caused by excessive moisture.

Another interesting feature of HYDROMATIC BRISKER is reliable grip on the surface of the steering wheel (provided with a polyurethane coating and silicone inserts), ergonomic sewing and no stiffness of movements (additional panels are sewn between the fingers). But the main know-how of this model is the threads woven into the fabric (in the area of ​​the fingertips), which allow you to use the smartphone directly with gloves.

Reflective elements in the form of the manufacturer's logo are applied on the front of the product, which increases visibility in the dark or in bad weather conditions.

DAINESE AIR HERO

The first representative of Italian gloves in this street / tourism review. The key feature of the model is its ability to be used on really hot days.

For professionals

Elsewhere, GP PLUS is reinforced with Pittards® Armor-Tan leather, which has a high strength factor and is resistant to tearing and mechanical damage.

The design was developed by ALPINESTARS using the latest technologies to create the most comfortable shell (flexible, soft, durable, elastic and able not only to repeat the anatomical shape of the hand, but also to protect the fist from impact - PU thermoplastic is used, which dissipates physical influences).

In sports, as nowhere else, concentration is important (especially in such a dangerous one). Therefore, the Italians created an almost perfect ventilation system for the fastest cooling of the hands (there are special blocks on the side of the fingers, and perforated leather is used as the material).
