This is one of the most informative and knowledgeable channel I've seen in a very long time. Not like a regular store that's tells you so much about a product and don't care what you buy and just wants you to purchase something. I appreciate the experience you share and bring to the table for everyone of all levels. Thank you
You are welcome. Thank you for watching and for the kind words. - Van
Well said. I back this!
I'm currently in the market for a new triumph street triple RS and i can't even begin to say how greatful i am for your videos. Safety is my #1 priority and cost is irrelevant. So knowing the proper gear to buy without accidentally buying something expensive TWICE is really a blessing. Thank you for sharing all of this experience and knowledge with us! Not all hero's wear capes haha
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Well explained, couldn’t have summed it up any better! When I was racing in the mid 90’s (competed at the Australian WSB, at Phillip Island in 96 and 97) I had a spare set of everything (bike included). However I lost (in if of the 3 day events 2 knee sliders on my left knee). A mate, who had a brand new set of leathers (he didn’t race) begged me to use his. I was great full, he was over the moon, as when I gave them back worn he was happy that other riders would then think he new how to ride quick! When he couldn’t, just by looking at both sliders... Memories! Thanks for posting this and I look forward to your next one! 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks for watching and for sharing that. - Van
This content is simply amazing! I’m still learning after many years of riding in quality gloves
Happy to hear you found it helpful and thank you for watching! - Van
wearing shop gloves under your riding gloves can help make winter manageable for the guys that can't afford a second pair
Cheap insulation for sure if you have the room. - Van
great video again! I ride an R3 in Australia so I watch most of your videos thanks mate
Appreciate you! - Van
Awesome video your talking about me , I went from no gloves to dirt bike gloves to short gloves to leather then finally last year went to full gauntlet gloves and will never look back.
Thanks for watching. - Van
Thanks man. Already bought gloves from you but solidifys the choice I made. STG Rocks
Appreciate your business and the kind words. - Van
For me protection is the most important, then comfort, then style etc.
I am with you there. - Van
I feel comfort is the same level as protection. Theres a reason you wear helmets that always fit just right, they can give you headaches if too tight and not protect right if too loose. gloves that are too tight may cut circulation or gloves that are too big may mess with your touch sensitivity and all of this can cause accidents. So to me they are hand to hand
@@buddybonbutt7510 agree, also you ain't gonna wear gear that isn't comfy and it won't do you any good sitting at home.
Racer - High Racer. Best protection. Best comfort. Best style. But only for nice weather conditions of course.
Wow very informative! I’m about to buy gloves now and couldn’t decide between short or gauntlet. This video helped me make my decision!
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Thanks for the great info sir! 👍🏻
If I didn't live in another country, I would be buying my gear from you.
Content like this needs to be supported!
Appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching! - Van
Great video STG thanks for the information and the insight. Yeah on the street I always carry a second pair of gloves. Just like in the morning it takes me like an hour to get to the dragon and I will wear my cheaper icon gloves or my waterproof icon gloves to get there, and then once I'm there I'll switch to my fresh non sweaty high end icon gloves. I like to 🦚 what can i say, name of the game is to be seen. Well yall have fun on the track and catch you next video
That is not a bad idea at all. Thanks for watching! - Van
Oh wow, i've never seen Held in an US based Video.. Nice :) I'm using the Evo-Thrux II for years now and its amazing.
Held makes some of the best gloves in the world for sure. - Van
Thank you. I bought summer ventilated gloves and now my hands are freezing in the winters.
If you plan to ride in all conditions you will need more than one pair of gloves to get that done comfortably. - Van
Put on a vest in the winter and now I’m cold
great video once again thanks from Australia
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Thank you for the tips, it was very helpful.
You are welcome and thanks for watching! - Van
Very informative and to the point...I personally have 5 pairs of gloves in my rotation, mostly short cuff since I ride mostly street, but all are leather, with palm sliders. When I was young and dumb, I gravitated to the mesh and light weight styles...but now that I'm older and have seen the results of crashes in low/no protection and weak/cheap material gloves, I put the protection factor first...same with rest of my gear (helmets, jackets, pants, and boots). Great content...keep of the good work.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience. - Van
Yep younger days no gloves. . Older now. PROTECTION. PROTECTION. PROTECTION
great video. Have multiple pairs for different riding conditions and on vaction.
If you can afford it that is the way to go for sure. - Van
Am I the only one that hears ashfault? Lol good stuff STG love the content
Call it whatever you like, that shit hurts! - Van
Its actually thE correct pronunciation
Hey Brian - A great video just like the boots one. I too have learned a lot over the years on what gear is good for me and what isn't and a lot of it was learned by trial and error, so yeah I wasted some money lol. Everybody's different in what gear is right for them and what isn't but this video and your other ones like this will at the very least minimize the amount of money wasted on gear that in the end doesn't work for you. Since dead or disabled men don't ride I'm big on safety so videos like these are much appreciated even for us seasoned riders, so great job. And BTW, what the hell were you doing in those held gloves, riding motorcycles or using them as a mitt for the barbeque grill? Both? LOL
The purpose of these videos is absolutely to help riders not waste money buying the wrong gear. Thanks for watching and the kind words. - Van
Another gr8 vid.
Appreciate you and thanks for watching! - Van
Amazing review 👍🔥
Thanks for watching! - Van
Van you need to put these videos on rhe different landing pages for gear.
When you select gloves, this pops up then all the different categories.
So it can help more people. When they're looking.
I like that idea, we will work on getting that done. - Van
Back 30 years ago, I used to have a pair of Fox Paws. They had a bunch of metal rivets on the palm.
So you could keep traveling Mach-3 and pass the guy over the finish line. Lol 😁👍🍻
LOL
Carbon fiber! Formula 1!!! Lol that's hilarious! My Held titans are awesome and 2 seasons in they're still in perfect condition.
Held makes a great glove for sure. - Van
Held are the best value gloves I've used racing.
Held makes a great glove for sure. - Van
Love the Racer gloves, they fit my short fingers well.
For sure Racer makes a great pair of gloves. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Yep, I just wish they made them in more colors.
Good video, Van. I have had five pairs of gloves from the same company in succession: Racer. I like the fit and the value. Good quality at a very good price. I go for a wrist glove as I don't do track days.
Once you find a pair or a brand that you like no reason not to stick with them. - Van
Any plans to review the new Held Titan RR gloves? Can't find any decent reviews and you guys always do such a great job.
Sorry we are no longer offering Held as they are not distributed here in the US at this time. - Van
We need to discuss thumb width on gloves, some manufacturers fit every fingers pretty well, some have very loose thumbs.
While there will always be some variance in the fit when comparing glove models and brands we have seen less of this over the last couple of years than we used to. End of the day we are all shaped a little differently and may not get the same fit from the same pair of gloves. If you know you have a hard time getting a good fitting pair best to go to a shop like ours that has a lot in stock and try some one. - Van
Which one is much better?
RST tractech Evo 4 or AlphineStar gp pro v3 in terms of protection?
Also are they similae in sizing?
Thanks!
Thank you
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
I have short summer gloves and full gauntlet winter gloves both with basic knuckle guards and palm sliders. I don't ride track now, but hope to pick up a class or two once 'Vid gets under control so no track gloves yet, just commuting and a little weekend traveling. Good advice on what to look for.
Thanks for watching. I think we are all ready for the Rona to be under control. - Van
Anyone that has been down will tell you the same thing. Get thick protective gloves and just adjust to them, I don’t feel comfortable riding now without good protection.
The goal here is to help some of the new riders avoid learning this lesson the hard way. Thanks for watching! - Van
Pretty helpful video. I am looking into replacing my Knox gloves which I really like but just can’t spend the normal $300+ right now; I am off bike for probably rest of year and sticking to track only from now on so certainly need something with palm sliders. Also on a side note, looks like your slimmed down so right on 👍🏻 (Also lost those lock down pounds myself)
Take a look at the RST TracTech EVO 4 CE Gloves. Here is a link to them on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/rst-tractech-evo-4-ce-gloves/ No better track glove value on the market today. - Van
Hands need full protection. I have owned 3 pairs alpinestars GP Pro air R3. As well as couple pairs SMX 1 short gloves. Alpinestars fit American hands and feet more appropriately vs Dainese or Spidi, imo. Good review.
I meant SMX 2 not 1
I would agree the cut of the Alpinestars leans more to the American form than the other brands you mentioned. - Van
Thanks
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Joe Swanson really knows his gloves! Jokes aside great content thank you
No idea who that is. Thanks for watching! - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear i love that you don't, stay focussed. Seriously, great content, helping a lot of people scale up the protection
Bought a pair of mesh Taichi short cuff luv em for summer but got goat skin Fly Racing gauntlet for normal riding
If you can afford more than one pair that is the way to go for sure. - Van
This guy should do ASMR. His voice is amazing!
Perhaps I should be moonlighting? - Van
glad u hve shirt fit u
I wish you could put together a real sentence. - Van
Brian,I really like you watch. What kind is it and TY for your time.
That is an Invicta. They are cool and more importantly cheap. - Van
Great video dude!
Thank you for watching! - Van
Do I need to remove my watch while using GAUNTLET gloves? I need a new pair of WINTER gloves and all I had were short gloves. I don't really know how do you wear gauntlets, with/without watch, under/over the jacket. I ride only on the street, but I appreciate nice protection.
That is going to depend on how big the watch is and which model you are interested in. I would not count on being able to wear your watch with the gloves. - Van
Thanks for a very informative video! What is your take on CE level 2 protection gloves? Why is it so difficult to find level 2 protection short cuff gloves in any but small size?
I do not have the answer to this. The CE standards are European and not something that gets a ton of attention here in the US at this time. - Van
A couple years ago someone got me the Dianese Metal 6 (something or other) and I couldnt use them because the gauntlet wouldnt go over my Dianese Avro 4 jacket. Had to return them, I was sad.
You would think they could make their own gloves compatible with their jackets??? - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Tell me about it, those were like 400-500 dollar gloves. My point in telling that, maybe a video idea for you, is if possible maybe make some sort of guide to tell what jackets can accept gauntlet gloves.
All technical clothing, as we all know, improves with use because it adapts and adheres better to the shapes of our limbs, torso, shoulders, etc When I go to the tracks I often see motorcyclists using suits, gloves, boots with signs of falling and worn out only because only with them they are better to ride, fewer tight spots, more freedom of movement of the limbs. And having a comfortable suit, comfortable gloves and boots can radically change your riding skill. This I think is the reason why the safety and replacement of motorcycle clothing is neglected.
I would agree that the older it gets the more comfortable it becomes. This makes it harder to replace for sure. - Van
nice presentation
Thanks for watching! - Van
D30 knuckle protection...or carbon fiber knuckle protection? Which would you recommend? I've heard-tell that carbon fiber knuckle protectors splinter/shatter in a crash, and that d30 knuckle protection can be hit or miss, depending on the design or from whom one buys the gloves. Thoughts?
I think either one will get the job done. With the carbon there is padding behind the carbon to protect the knuckles. As for the carbon splintering I have never seen that happen in a crash. - Van
Hey Brian, I’ve seen you use the Shoei and also the Arai and also the Shark. May I ask which brand do you favor most?
To be fair there are a lot of great helmets out there. At this time the Shoei X-14 is the helmet of choice for both Max and I. We don't receive any compensation for this and ride in what I feel is best suited for us. - Van
pretty good video, on the waterproof textile gloves, there are many option now a days with palm slider made with super fabric, The palm are all leather with a textile back. In both goretex and other water proof membrane.
I have seen a couple of winter gloves that offer the sliders. Like I said in the video the winter / wet weather stuff is really not something we focus on. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear gear get better every year. New techs makes them more protective. I ride all year in all season as I commute on a bike to avoid traffic. I have been really impressed with newer wet weather and winter gloves. Five has a great protective winter heated glove in the HG1.
Soooo many different choices of gloves my god haha I’m a beginner and I’m just looking for some good gloves with palm sliders
We have a ton of RST gloves here and more on the way. These are the best value in the industry. Here is a link to our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/rst/
I ride rain and shine I have like 3 type of gloves lol. Invest your money on gloves it’s a life changer
If you ride in all conditions and want to enjoy your ride you will need multiple versions of each piece of gear you wear minus the helmet. - Van
I need a set of high end gloves that are phone compatible for canyon carver and commuter in good weather.
Alpinestars GP Plus R V2 Gloves
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/alpinestars-gp-plus-r-v2-gloves/
These gloves have the touch screen material on the index finger. - Van
Sure do wish there would be more brand/model info mentioned. Trying my damnest to decide which to get but most videos focus on words like this one, that one, those ones, these ones
We did that because the models change all the time. Our goal was to help riders choose the features and benefits that would best suit them without focusing a models that will be changed every year or two. If you need some help choosing a pair of gloves shoot the team an email on orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and they will get you sorted out. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Thank you. I understand but please keep in mind that while certain gloves change, the older ones are still available for sale...sometimes for years.
Hi there I'm a sidecar passenger and need a glove with good protection but needs to have all the fingers free and not connected also need to be able to move alot in them
Any recommendations regards Taylor
There are a ton of excellent options for sure. If you find a pair you like but they have the fingers bridged remember you can cut that to separate the fingers without causing any damage to the glove. - Van
I need gloves with a button snap on. Velcro is a no go
Velcro adjusters and safety strap are pretty much the industry standard for sport riding and racing gloves. - Van
I purchased a glove with lot of padding on in the palm but i hated it. It wont allow me to grip the handle bars properly. My hand feels like its being forced open and its going to slip if i go over a bump. If force squeeze then the knuckle things dig in. This is only an issue on the throttle side. They fit snug . So im wondering if they are to small. Or do you recommend a comfortable glove that’s good for weathers 55 degrees and up.
I would never ride in a glove that restricts movement in any way. If you want a nice pair of gloves at a great price check out the RST gloves on our site. Here is a link: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/rst/?_bc_fsnf=1&Product%5B%5D=Gauntlet+Gloves&Product%5B%5D=Short+Cuff+Glove
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks alot :)
Hey Van. I've already got a set of track gloves but am looking for a set of decent warm weather street gloves right now. I'm looking at the Cortech Sonic-Flo Airs on your site. Look like a decent combo of protection & comfort but not many reviews yet. Would they be my best bet @
IMO this is an excellent glove for the money. Put another brand name on them and they would be closer to $100. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Awesome! That's great to hear. Thanks for getting back to me so quick so i can get my order in asap
@@sportbiketrackgear Hey Van, seriously... Just got the gloves & u were totally right! I can't believe these are
I live 5 miles from your shop. I really wanted to get some alpinestars smx-6 v2 vented boots from you guys but you have completely closed your shop to customers. So not knowing how long returns would take if the size wasn't right I just ended up buying them off Amazon.
Per the Governor anyone who can work at home had to be given that opportunity. Our showroom in less than 1% of our business. Hope to have it open soon. - Van
Thats a nice shirt
Thank you. We are working on producing these to sell now. Should be here in a few weeks. - Van
Wassup man I'm a new rider and I'm looking for a boot but I also want it to be for street which one would you recommend
Too many options to list here. Shoot the team an email at orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and they will get you sorted out. - Van
What was the first RST glove you showed with the slider? I see RST evo R gloves on the site but not the evo 4 gloves. Is there a big difference? I was thinking about getting the evo 4 suit and thought about getting matching evo 4 gloves but are the R better?
We are waiting on a huge shipment from RST right now. Will have the new gloves and hundreds of suits. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear would you recommend that the evo 4 gloves are a worthwhile upgrade cower the evo r gloves?
Right.
Thanks for watching. - Van
What gloves do you recommend for riding a Moped in the city? Londoner here btw :D
Any reasonable short glove from most any brand will get the job done. - Van
Hey brian, how short are the gp pro r3 cuff compared to the gp pro r2?
I do not have a pair of the R2 here anymore to compare. From memory I feel like they are pretty much the same length. - Van
any advice to someone who needs track gloves but has shorter fingers. have tried rst tractech 3 and alpine stars gp pro v2 but the tips of the fingers extend out way to much and is super uncomfortable. even trying a small same thing just tight around the palm. thanks!
The best advice I have is for you to go to a store and try on several pairs. All of the brands have very similar fit when you compare them to each other. There is a little variance but not a ton. Odds are if your fingers are short you will end up having to put up with some additional length. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks for the help Van! Will have to wait a month for that since were back in lockdown and nothing is open! wish me luck haha
Would cut resistant / Tactical gloves work for riding gloves?
I have no real experience with gloves like that so I can't say for sure. - Van
I drive a Honda Supercub 50cc. Is it ok to buy and wear motorcycle gloves? Or not needed.
If you think you could fall off and injure yourself you should 100% be wearing gear to prevent that. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thank you so much for the reply ❤️👌😅
What gloves from alpinestars has the palm sliders
The majority of the current Astars sport gloves offer the palm sliders now. Several long and short models. - Van
why i can't see dainese gear in the
Sportbike Track Gear store?!!!
We stopped offering Dainese a few years back. Their service after the sale for the customer is poor and working with them as a dealer is very difficult. - Van
The Alpinestars GPPro v3 gloves have some of the most ridiculous pinky and ring finger lengths I’ve ever seen. They clearly cut the hand template from someone with a deformity.
Look at the Supertechs or most other AStars gloves and the hand template is fine. The last two digits are just so abnormally long on the v3.
Also the finger tip plastic bits love to catch on levers. Doubt they would have any real world use. They only serve to bulk up the thickness of the fingers.
Here is an example of why we need choices. Max and I both like the R3 gloves and I am not a fan of the Supertech glove. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I didn’t buy the supertechs because of your video! Btw totally agree about the palm. All 3 times I’ve gone down the sliders always have been scuffed.
Which makes me more upset about the fingers of the gp being for goblins :)
Brian, I want a glove that makes me faster. Can you help me?
Shit I want a glove that will make me faster than Max Van! Sorry man it doesn't work that way. - Van
What are those rst street gloves called?
RST TracTech EVO Short Gloves
www.sportbiketrackgear.com/rst-tractech-evo-short-gloves/
you have to understand you are not going to slide very far on the street before you hit something whether its the curb or a tree or a lamp post or another vehicle so slide protection is not as essential as riding on the track where you can easily slide over 100meter in a crash. Feel of the controls is also not as essential as track riding as you dont normally go to max braking or max lean on the street. Comfort and impact protection from bugs or rocks at speed is more important for street riding. Durability is also more important for street riding. Track gloves sacrificed a lot of durability for feel by making the palm and finger with much thinner materials.
As someone who crashed on the road at 50mph, I sustained Bennett’s fracture. I will never buy a pair of gloves for riding hard that does not have scaphoid sliders.
Almost all of the race gauntlets are thicker than the street gloves and offer more impact protection. If protection is your number one concern you should be wearing a race gauntlet glove. - Van
Thanks for sharing that and I hope you have healed up completely. - Van
Wrist protection?
Palm sliders are critical if protection is important to you. While they do not provide any bracing they do help to reduce energy transfer which can save a wrist. - Van
Go pro r3 vs. racer high racer vs handroid…. HELP?!??! 🤯
The Racer will provide the most feel of those listed while still offering plenty of protection. As you would expect the GP Pro R3 is a nice glove (Max has raced in them plenty). The Handroid provides some additional protection but you do sacrifice some feel. - Van
Have you fallen out with Dainese?
We have not sold Dainese for the last handful of years. There were too many issues with service after the sale when our customers had a problem and they were difficult to work with as a dealer. Most dealers do not like working with Dainese. - Van
Founded
Thanks for watching! - Van
TWO diff pair...lol...ive got five my friend lol...
I have a whole gear bag full too. For sure you need more than one pair of gloves if you can afford them. - Van
i like carbon fiber from formula 1 too!!!! hahahaha
High end for sure. - Van
Stale potato chip crunchy gloves. Hahaha. Ya, you better get a new pair.
Those have been on the shelf for a long time now. - Van
For me Style is the most important, then Comfort, then Protection... etc.
There are a lot of different styles to choose from right now that is for sure. - Van
I need a pair of gloves that feel good on my peter.
Good luck with your peter. - Van
