Brandon is like the golden retriever of the RevZilla cast.
Lol is that a compliment?
He is my least fave reviewer. Sounds kinda beta male
@@grumpysquid 🤡
@@grumpysquid The pseudoscience of beta and alpha males is the male equivalent of women and astrology. Get over yourself.
@@froot2912 so am I not allowed to have a different opinion?
Gauntlet time,all the time for me. Extreme hot extreme cold all the same. The extra protections just put my mind at ease, i intend to have use of my hand and fingers for as long as posible.
Love the versus series!!! Please do more comparisons
Gonna love this series!
Love this series!
Looking forward to more from this series.
No question here in Arizona, short cuff ventilated gloves Mar-Sep, gauntlet gloved Oct-Feb depending on day or evening riding.
Def some solid info. I got a pair of gauntlet gloves and most of the time I'm riding in hot weather. And I wear a watch on my left wrist I often find myself not wanting to bother with the hassle of fighting to get the gloves over my jacket, and watch. I'm on an ebike so my speeds aren't terribly high, but I don't like that I'm ignoring protection for convenience. Might have to get some short cuff gloves.
Hasn't thought of wrist bone protection, only wrist abrasion. Thanks!
Great gear type comparo.
Excellent video
I normally start my day’s ride in NC with my Rev’it leather or goretex gauntlets depending on cold the weather is, and carry a pair of perforated leather/mesh shorties with me when the weather is going to be anywhere above 75*F
Protection is most important. Gauntlet 100%. Hot out? That's why manufacturers make perforated riding gear. I ride in 100F+ temps and have 0 issues.
Thankyou guys for supporting Doodle! Gauntleted gloves are what I want if I crash. For the rest of my riding I prefer the shorties. Any gloves are better than none in most situations.
As usual a good and matter-of-fact video. One comment on commuting to work especially overseas (#Holland - The Netherlands) where we do have hot summers from time-to-time 😁... I personally use a pair of Fusion 2 GTX (Gore-Tex) from Rev-It👌🏾. The best IMHO for an almost continuous onslaught of wind & rain 🙄.
Even to the shop long gloves is always better. I always sacrifice comfort over protection no matter how hot the weather
I feel like you should probably have at least 2 pair of riding gloves.. but that's just my opinion and personal option. I have a short set for most occasions, and then a gauntlet set that is for the rain/cold weather days of riding. It helps a ton since I ride a bike without a faring or shield.
I felt like he was talking to me for the second question. I live in Arizona, 80% of my riding is to work and back, and I only park it for the 8 weeks of "winter" we get
I gave up on the idea of "all weather", all seem bunk. Similarly to jackets, I ended up with 3 pairs of gloves (winter, a waterproof mid-temp and a mesh). Sometimes I carry multiple pairs with me to accommodate for changes. Mandatory warning: take a little time to adjust if you are changing gears.
I have both short and gauntlet I alternate between both of them…… I have alpinestars amd sedici gloves
I use shorties for touring or when the temp is triple digits. Other than that, its gauntlets.
Great topic! I’ve always felt the gauntlet glove was best to cover your sleeve in cold/wet weather. But I do see there is a belief in the short cuff winter glove which goes inside your sleeve on the basis that water runs down the sleeve & over the glove, not into it- but I just can’t see that being comfortable on a cold,wet ride ⛈
These are good thoughts. I've just gotten short cuffed waterproof gloves for rainy conditions and will soon know whether the belief is true or not. I do know that with gauntlet gloves I have experienced rainwater running down my sleeves and into my gloves (the reason we called ape hanger bars "self-draining", their one good point).
Mr. Bird- Whatever works for you is best. I find the rainwater is most troublesome during stops in traffic; some riders have been known to cross their hands up over their chests during stops to keep the water from running down their sleeves into the gloves. If your bars are high maybe their is no problem.
Sorry, maybe THERE is no problem.
Or get gauntleted gloves that can fit inside your sleeve (also requires a jacket to allow you to do so)
I swear by Rev’it gloves. My Dirt 3s have been my most durable pair so far! I also have the Knox Handroid Mk3 and Alpinestars GPX, but they’ve deteriorated much sooner than expected.
What has been your experience with the touch screen capabilities of it? I'm on my second pair and I'm thinking about returning it. I've returned the first pair because it just wouldn't work on my devices. This second one worked out of the box (although far from being very precise) but now a mere 700km (~450 mi) later it's already not working anymore. I just can't believe I'm that unlucky, it's gotta be a bad quality material they use.
@@Blinkubus to be honest the touchscreen material isn’t perfect on my pair either. It works - barely - but is not very precise.
Name taken from the versus battles?!?
Thanks for the info. How about leather vs textiles?
Leather is always more protective, but you have to weigh that against how much mobility you need and if you ride in very hot/humid or rainy weather. Heat stroke is no joke and heat exhaustion will have you sluggish to respond and making poor decisions.
@@bleh8310 exactly I have had friends die from it. That is why the we need lane sharing for the same reason.
But Brandon, what should we do with the throttle?
Why twist it my dear.
What gloves are those at 1:42?
Revit or alpinestars for short gloves
I'd add Dainese Mig 2's. Excellent short gloves.
"Question 0: Do you need to wear any gloves at all?" I thing this need to be explained to many riders.
Easy way to answer that question is to ask if they'd be cool holding a running belt sander against their bare hand. If they seem disturbed by that then they should have their answer.
@@bleh8310 sounds like a great idea to put in a shop next to gloves stand. "You still thing you don't need gloves - try it out!"
I literally just bought some track-ish gauntlet gloves for their protection for the street and can confirm that comfort is no wheres as good as my shorties. I can’t do it. I gotta send em back :( they are so nice but the gauntlet gets in the way with the jacket cuff and its stiff with extra protection. They take way longer to put on/off and with the fingers being a little thicker i feel the levers less. Shortie gloves? Snug, thin, beautiful! Just maybe not as safe :( thank you for confirming my decision (seriously, just got them today). Shortiiiiiiiies!
First off: One pair of gloves is likely not going to do it for you. Two different type of gloves is probably a minimum.
Instead of waterproof gloves, you could also consider just getting a pair of over-gloves (Dainese among others carry that type) to cover your favorite gloves in a downpour so you don't have to carry a pair of bulky extras.
If it ain’t ICON I don’t want it! 😤
For touring and knowing the weather, on europe, in the summer, i take 2 pairs. One summer short cuff glove and a waterproof glove for when it rains. You would not, want a goretex gloves on summer just because you want to take just one glove on the ride. That's stupid. Modular is better.
I was actually thinking of this just a couple of days ago 😳 Are you mind readers? 😳 Did you put a chip in my arm when I got covid vaccin? 😳
I was thinking the same thing ,how did they know 😅
Good idea and information but please move away from those static-y transitions
Gauntlet. Even with a T-shirt they look badass. Plus the wind and rain.
If you ride in a t-shirt you signal "stupid squid" no matter what other "badass" stuff you wear.
@@nickthequick Not sure what country you live in, but if you don't wear a t-shirt in summer you're considered a Pssy. Squids know how to ride. Squid callers are just afraid.
@@ironmaiden5658 you need to watch some @DanDanTheFireman kid. I suggest you look him up here on RUclips. PS: Squid: "The urban dictionary defines a as someone who over-estimates his abilities while riding a bike, and is over-confident of his abilities despite lacking any relevant skills."
@@nickthequick The urban dictionary was invented after I started riding kiddo. Don't believe everything you read. (except this.. You can believe this. )
@@ironmaiden5658 So now you're telling us you are an adult? That makes everything you said even worse, because now we know you are an adult with the mind of an adolescent 😁
