I’m going to like this series!
I feel like you forgot to point out another advantage of the thin motorcross gloves, next to more feel they also provide less fatigue (when you use the clutch a lot). So I would recommend taking them with you as a backup (they take next to no space) and/or to switch out to when speeds go down because of off-road riding. I really prefer them for all but high way/speed work (and I’ve never encountered thorny bushes while off-roading 🥸).
Ride safe👍🏿
Great intel! Thanks for taking the time to put this out in the world! Cheers!
Really enjoying the gear videos. Keep them up!
Bought the MSR gloves based on this. Got them in yesterday, used them today for a 21f 20-minute commute. Overall impressed!
They do suffer from an amazingly common issue...massively over-long pinky almost the length of the next finger.
Two minor quibbles in addition:
Lining in the right glove is a lot less correctly shaped or attached meaning I have to put that one on first while I still have the dexterity in my left hand to work the pinky and pointer finger a bit to get it on.
With such a long (and awesome!) gaunlet, they almost need a pull on the back of the hand before the gautlet to get them on easier...particularly the second one.
For the price, assuming they hold up, best insulated gloves I have bought in 32 years of riding. Ignoring price, second best I have bought in 32 years of riding. After 20 minutes (behind handguards) at 20f speeds averaging 45mph only the last 5 minutes had the pinkies and tips of thumbs getting uncomfortable. Medium fits me perfect and I am usually on high end of Medium but large in "Italian" sized gloves.
Well done Dork!
Enjoyed my MSR and they saved my palms not long ago on a dirt road.
🏍️💨
Excellent video. Finding the right glove is always a challenge. I found this video very helpful. Thanks.
Currently shopping gloves. Your timing is impeccable!
Dam Ben that was a awesome video really enjoying the content 👊 aaaa thank you!
Great points. Agree on evening said.
What a great video very well done👍
Hey Ben, I think it’s time for another video in this series. It would be great if you would do one on footwear. I recently started adventure riding and prior to my first day out on the dirt I was under the impression that “adventure boots” were what I would want. I quickly realized that was not the optimal footwear choice and something more in line with a motocross boot offers way more stability on the pegs and protection for the leg. I imagine there are a lot of people that could benefit from a discussion on footwear.
Bang on the money Ben! Just like bikes there is no unicorn. For warm weather I like full one piece leather palm, flexible mesh back(it has to be very plush with no seams that will rub or sit under a finger),segmented armour on the back(knuckles etc), good wrist closure. Cool or cold weather adds water proofing and insulation to the needed list. Keep your hands on the bars and your feet on the pegs!
I like the HELD Sambia for summer season. Very sturdy and good ventilation.
Have been using a pair of the MSR’s all winter here in Utah down to about 10 degrees with no hand warmers and my hands have never been cold. They are an amazing value for the price. Also took a tumble into a very large puddle and even though the rest of me was soaked my hands stayed dry! 5 ⭐️ from me!
Im excited for the boots video!
Good series broski 🍻
Was looking for warm weather glove! Picked up the klim Baja s4 and I love them!
One of the most important things is durability!
Been looking at the MSRs after seeing this might have to pick up a pair ! great video........
I bought the MSR cold weather gloves in the fall. I have been very happy with them!
Thanks for the information. A lot of stuff I hadn't considered. Larry in Fort Worth.
You could say that the Racer brand fit like a glove. 😂
Racers are comfortable but I (and my one of my riding buddies) had the finger tip split at the seam. The good thing was I could sneak out my fingertip for the touch screen as they had no finger tip touch pads.
Yes, you could say that Ken's Moto Ventures, but then you would have to deal with being sent to that special place in hell for punsters. 😄
I've got two sets of gloves from Racer. I agree, they fit great. I've been pretty happy with them. I have the Guide and the FFH. Been using them for a good 10 years or so. Got the Guides first, they had a factory distributor a few miles from my house and they had a sale, so I got a smokin deal on them and could try them all on and get a great fit. It's time to replace the Guide gloves as they are wearing a bit much.
The FHH's I have are much newer. They're ok. I did a 2 week 4500 mile trip last year (almost no dirt) and I got drenched big time more than once. They did ok., They didn't fare that well in really cold riding, but most of the time they were fine. Basically, if you get rained on ALL day in Yellowstone and then go through a 13k foot pass at dusk when it's 33F, you're hands will be friggin cold, even with your grips on high. But that's a tough row to hoe for any glove. I'll buy more gloves from them. Good stuff.
Also speaking of using whatever glove is comfortable, I used a pair of Alpinestars SP8s for like 5 years with no issues.
@@clvrswine are you using Kevlar grips? That might be it
I went with the Reax Ridge WP gloves for my street riding here in CA. Waterproof, very comfortable, but no insulation. I also like MTB gloves for dirt!
Thank you
I really appreciate what you do for us 🙏 I want to know if my dual sport can drive up icy roads like to big bear or mammoth mountain and if taking out air would help. You’re the beat man!
Great advice. A second or third pair is always in my pack. And to not get sucked into the marketing schemes. Some of the Mechanics or high dexterity work gloves are a good choice, but be aware many are similar to MX gloves. MX gloves are ok, but NONE of them last a season if your a daily rider.
Joe Rocket makes some good mid priced gear.
For cold wet riding I use IceArmor by Clam gloves. Made for ice fishing, pretty bulky but warm and 100% waterproof. The best part is you can take them off and on with wet hands without the liner getting messed up.
RACER seems to be the way to go. I will give them all a look. Thanks
Something i learned a longtime ago.... Gloves are dual sport. Buy a pair if road gloves and tuck them away put on a pair of dirt gloves when you move off pavement.
my sand 4 rev it gloves are my first choice for 3 season and gerbing heroes for winter riding
I started out with Bilt gloves as well, I still have them as a backup glove. It's difficult to find women's gloves that fit, returned the Rev'it gloves I bought due to the fingers being an inch longer than mine. Thankfully Revilla has a good return policy. I'm currently searing a pair of Sedici road gloves, and they work well with plenty of venting and protection.
It’s got. I’d like some white gloves 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Good reviews. It looked like you had a Revit glove on the table that you didn't mention. I have a pair and I like them but don't love them. They feel bomb proof but not as comfortable as others. Plus they are expensive
Yeah I like them a lot but the pull strap things broke so I struggle to recommend them
Great glove video, we were talking last night about new gloves for this season, BUT how come I never noticed your GPS before? What is it? Got a video on it?
I would have high fived 🙌 you for that joke !!
Dork.😎
Insulated leather mitts. Far warmer than gloves. I don't know why nobody else seems to wear them. Get Elk skin, and a little oversized. They will come on and off very easy. I've tried the touchscreen gloves and prefer removing the glove/mitt (touchscreen= too clumsy).
What brand do you recommend?
I agree with pretty much everything you said. That being said, while on pavement I actually use fingerless gloves because of my garmin screen doesn’t like any glove I’ve found with fingers. I also won’t buy a glove unless it’s pre-bent, which removes tons of hand fatigue.
All of my bilt gloves have tinted my hands😮😮!
Love my klim inversion gloves though…
🙏🙏
Can you use a stylus on a retractable zinger for your Garmin? Fingerless gloves sound horrifying in a crash.
@@omicrondec I would have to stop to use a stylus, so if I’m gonna stop I might as well take off my glove…
The 700 is glove friendly, but most of the “buttons” are to small for a touch with the size of a glove (at least mine). I use full finger gloves when on dirt, which is where (in my experience) gloves are needed most and I avoid cities and generally drive like an old man when in them.
Everything when on a motorcycle is a give and take issue, so I have resolved myself to just not get into accidents 😎😎
🙏🙏
Why aren't companies moving away from leather gloves. We did it with jackets. Pretty sure klim could make an amazing mesh stretch glove
Could you do a video comparing MSR Adv boots to the alpinestar corozal boots?
Great video. Is that a grom? My wife wants me to convert her z125 into an adventure bike. I'd love a video on how to do that. My son rides a KLX230 and I ride a KLR. We're interested in doing some moto-camping as a family. Thus far I've added a windshield, bark busters, a comfortable seat and some 70/30 tires to the z125. Wondering about crash protection , skid plates and the like.
NM :) Now I see all your Grom videos.
I’m in bad need of new gloves. I tried some from KLIM but they were too big, and I didn’t like the solid leather construction. They roasted my hands.
I need something that’s breathable but still has good knuckle protection.
exilent vid, additional tip for new riders: if your buying full leather gloves, dont order online, go to a shop and get a set that fits very snug, almost to small, cos the leather will soften up and streatch and you wear them in just like boots :) will be worth it. I personally use full leather sport bike gloves, one step below full racing gloves(those are way to stiff and hard for every day), with full pads both knuckle and palm, and those will have better wrist protection. Those are just my 2 cents, not a pro or anything, just wanted to add a little tip to a fine video
I have to try online. Went to all the stores near my city, and nothing fit well. (Medium size palm with Small finger length)
@@omicrondec here in Iceland we also have limited local options, I suggest going to website of the glove maker and see if thay have sizing charts, where you can mesure your hand and get a fit, I have done this once, from alpinestars, and the fit was not to bad, hope you have good luck finding something that fits you well, and you are happy with :)
Ben if you had to ride at hwy speeds (70) at 20°f what glove would you recommend !
Me likey. Good one Dork.
I recently bought Five Sport City Gloves, great value for about $100 USD, but on sale for about $80 USD. Full leather palm, palm slide protection, knuckle protection, and comfortable too. They are vented, so not the best choice for winter riding
I bought klim gtx badlands gloves can we use it fot winters.
1:27 - 1:29 - 1:31 ... did that SUV and car(s) actually pull over a little for you on your bike? Wow! People say that Canada is friendly, here where I live people would use the whole road and expect you to go into the ditch, because, well - you have the "dirt bike" (they also don't know that there's other types of bikes around here other than Harleys)
It must be warm to go out when it snows
I have several pair of gloves from big name mfgs, all say they are touch screen compatible. Not one of them is even a little usable on touch screens. I have never owned a pair of gloves that works for beans on screens.
So hard to buy gloves online without trying them on, seems they all fit different even if same size so kinda stuck with what the local shops carry :(
comment comment comment
It's easy if it is going to be cold or Hot all day ...hard when you have drastic temp changes during the day....
That's why it's so nice that gloves are small enough to take multiple pairs
What is your hand size please?
I know it is unrelated, could you spend a sec to chat about the Brozz?
I’m planning on getting one as my first bike but I am unsure if it is legit. I called and requested someone to ask some questions too, when I got through to someone they couldn’t answer anything. I asked to talk to Jeff and they hung up. I called back and requested to talk to him and they said that he would call me. After 5 hours I called and asked to be transferred to him Directly. He answered and said the bike ships in 10 days to the PNW area, did yours get to you that fast? The only payment option available is through PayPal. I don’t have an PayPal account so it offered to accept credit card, but if it was to do this it looked like it would auto create an account (not something that I want). Is this what you did or do you think there is a way around this? Also, to get plates on it would I take it to the local DMV or is there somewhere else to get that done? Thank you so much if you take the time to help me. If not, it’s all good. You’re an awesome dude either way. Stay excellent!
I don’t need gloves because I never fall down 🤥
Weird. This won't play on my IPad but no problem on android phone.
Workin now.
I've gotta say, i don't understand this thing that you gotta have special gear to ride adv bikes or street bikes and so on..
I ride a t7 with a street jacket (lindstrands rexbo jacket) and motorcycle jeans. It works just fine and i can go anywhere all the people with adv clothing goes. I just don't understand what the hysteria is about. 🤔
You don't need anything special. Several examples of just motorcycle gloves in this video.
There are those who want to know what works best for ADV, though. This video is for them.
Wear what your comfortable with I guess but there is specific gear for different types of riding for a reason. Riding jeans are not water resistant or waterproof and a long day splashing through water crossings in jeans would get very uncomfortable and if doing multi-day rides they would not be dry the next morning.
I certainly would not wear my sport bike shoes off road. Yes the have plenty of foot and ankle protection in the event of a low side but would not protect against rocks, logs etc and offer no shin protection.
Jackets pretty much follow the same track as pants. My street jacket is designed for highway speed slides. Is CE level 2 certified on the shoulders, elbows and back. It’s a great jacket when there is plenty of airflow (even with all the vents open and liners removed) but at slow trail speeds it would feel overly stiff, heavy and hot. It would not provide the level of mobility I need for navigating trails.
So just like there are different bikes for different rides there also are different clothes.
Again, wear what you want if your comfortable but at least try to understand the purpose of different gear before passing judgment.
@@michiganmoto7687
I never judged, i just think it's getting out of hand with all this gear talk and stuff. I see your point when it comes to water resistent gear, but other then that i think people waste to much time thinking about how they look when they ride. That's all.
Ride safe.👍🏻
Are all of the summer gloves you recommended touch screen compatible?
@@Motoventuresadv i dont use the screen while riding. But don't you think the street bike riders also want to use the touch screen? So it's just gloves, not specific adv gloves. Right?
I think mc gear is mc gear.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Freeway slide? no thanks.... if that happens to me the last thing I am worried about is my gloves.... death is the first ting I am worried about. How many here are taking freeway slides?
Your hands should not be hitting the ground... Roll into your elbow/shoulder protection. If you break your scafoid bone, you will be sorry for the rest of you life. Half the bone can die.
The scaphoid bone is at greater risk of dying??
The scaphoid bine snaps across it self and the blood supply cones in one side abd Uturns and goes back out the same side. The break goes across the blood vessels and that part of the bones dies ( necrosis. I put die because more peoiple are likely to know what that means , relative to necrose). Very common in cyclists and motorcyclists from putting their hand down to stop their fall.
Hi can you do a video on your camera & microphone set up please? There are so many choices that do not work.
Great review of options in gloves. High altitudes can be cold in the morning and then your hot later. Two pair is key. My issue seems to be fit. The sizing among manufacturers is seems difficult to predict. Makes it chancy to order online. Especially a sale. @jrdepew
