Gloves are over of those things that you will find you need multiple pairs of depending on the weather. Everything from hot weather mesh short cuff to waterproof gauntlets.

Just stick with a reputable brand, get ones that are comfortable and not too tight, and fits the type of riding you do.

I've always had great luck with Alpinestars, Klim, and Scorpion.

OdinMFG! Been riding daily for well over a decade and they are pretty much the only gloves I buy anymore. They are out of Canada and are made by bikers, for bikers. They have a lot of motorcycle centric features that are hard to beat. Flip up index and thumb for non gimmick touch screen use, and magnets in the wrists so your gloves stick together and to your tank.

I think those are all good choices. What will matter the most between them is the fit. I have some super expensive Dainese gloves that I hate because just fit a little bit too tight. A size up would have been too loose. In retrospect, I should have bought a different model

I don't want to give advice on specific gloves, but all big known brand should be fine. Few points I'm personally looking at:

• Most important (for any gear), make sure it is CE certified. Else you are only protected by the power of marketing.
• I'm more on the safe side, so I also look for knuckle protection and solid protection for the bottom side of the palm opposite of thumb.
• Test them for comfort and size. A long trip can become a pain with ill fitting gloves.
• One pair vented for summer and another waterproof with 2 layers for colder/wetter days.

Go full leather with good palm and knuckle protection

I have a pair of Knox gloves that are bulletproof. Love them.

Dianese has never done me wrong. Their Steel Pro gloves lasted me over 15k miles before kicking it in a crash. Saved my hands, though.

Great, sturdy pair of gloves. Expensive, but super well constructed. Took a little to break in, though.

I've also had some Revit gloves that were nice lightweight, warm weather gloves, but they didn't last that long. Only maybe 5k miles before the leather started to disintegrate at the thumb seam.

Odin Mfg. Make quality gear (not found on Revzilla or Cyclegear), or Icon Hypersport (my personal favorites, that keep getting STOLEN).

Held phantoms and BMW GS gloves. Both have lasted me for a long time and I commute and tour with them. Maybe causal but both of them are made with roo Leather

I just got Revit Ritmo. I’ve only use them once so far but they seem good. Pretty good dexterity and feel and they have sliders. Also decent ventilation.

Alpinestars SP8 air. I have had four pairs of gloves, they are easily my favourite as long as it isn’t wet and cold out

I got these from Alpinstars x Honda and I absolutely love them, they’re not exactly like the ones you showed but they’re very lightweight and made for summer, I like the extra carbon reinforced knuckles. So I guess yours should be fine, but they just look like they wouldn’t be very protective to my eyes

It is a offroad glove. You have a pavement slide and most of the glove will just melt. You will want a glove with some leather on the top and the sides of the glove.

Personally would not get them, knuckle protection seems limited and theres no palm slider. If I were you I would look into Five gloves.

For the street? Absolutely not, might as well drape a wet napkin over your hand for protection

Decent but I find that the Velcro dies quickly on the alpinestars gloves. I get around 15-18k miles out of gloves from them which is pretty decent for the price.

They are a bit warm without the little vents the higher dollar versions have. Good or bad depends on your climate.

Soak them in hot water and do a few rides with them wet and they will curl up a bit more naturally.

Can’t go wrong with Alpinestars gloves and most types will run a similar size.

They start at the SP series, their “budget” choice that offers decent protection at a nicer pricepoint.

Above that you’ll find the GP Plus as started above - definitely a step up in protection.

One step further would be the GP PRO which is their professional level gear that trades some comfort features for even more safety technology and is “top of the line” for most applications.

Absolute top shelf is SUPERTECH which is built especially for motorsport athletes and whilst it is a great glove, I’d rarely suggest it for “normal folks like us”

Hope this helps!

The current generation a* smx air gloves suck! I went with it cause they were like 70 $. Threads are starting to come undone after a month of riding.

I’m not sure on ur budget, but If u got about $200 to spare , I’d recommend the Alpinestars GP plus R v3 Gloves. They have some cool colorways and they’re a great glove

I have the SMX-2 in the white and yellow. They’re firstly comfortable gloves. Have enough movement so you can grip the clutch and brake lever. Those are my go to’s. Had em for about 2 years now and still work great.

so far every glove i bought online didnt fit me right and i only realised this, after getting a pair at a store.

Dont order gear online, if you cant send it back for free.

Take this knowlege and learn from my mistakes.

I have the first pair as well, got them at my local cycle gear. The fit is a bit snug, and the next size up was way too big, but they work well enough in the 110°F weather.

Those gloves are great until they get chewed up by a mastiff.

Alpine runs small in my opinion. I wear large and should have bought extra Large

Try m all. Gloves are so personal they're almost impossible to buy from a picture.

I've owned a couple pair of those alpine gloves. Definitely my favorite for daily riding.

Held, Racer, Knox, PLUS gloves.

Alpinestar, TCX boots.

Dainese. Hands down. The price reflects the quality. Your skin is worth saving.

Boots- Gaerne, Sidi

Gloves- Held, Dainese, Rukka

Came here to say dainese

Also Held gloves. Most of their gloves made with kangaroo leather, very tough, great protection. Not cheap, their niche is to make great products at prices reasonable for the quality. Very consistent sizing.

M1 Moto Gloves.

Look up what Torc has to offer. I have a pair of their hawthorns and love them.

Knox Orsa or 3. They ....fit like a glove. Pun intended. They are fabulous. A bit heavier on the wallet but so worth it.

I picked up some Knox Urbane Pro gloves recently and I’m totally sold! Lots of safety features, comfortable, affordable, tough, understated. Big recommendation from me!

Don't buy random gloves that a random guy in the internet recommends, it's a very slim chance you have exactly the same shape hands (hand width, finger length etc.). Go to a store to try them out and get the ones that fit your hands.

When it is over 85°F — Camelbak.  Hydrating while riding is a huge help.   Fill with ice, then water/etc…stays cold for 4-5 hour ride.

I throw it over an Alpinestars Bionic Jacket and a motocross jersey, good airflow.

SMX Plus V2 Boots, beefy race protection all over yet more comfortable than any footwear I own, they also look really sleek and don't have over the top branding like other Alpinestars products.

Cherry on the cake, I got a killer deal on them, 40% off RRP, couldn't say no to that lol.

Any particular kind? I'm a fan of my wool neck gaiter as well.

We have pretty mild summers here. But even with the vents open, I don’t like riding it when it’s more than 90F outside. I have a separate set of mesh gear for that, but the suit is fine for everything I ride in underneath that temp.

Custom earplugs!! Hands down the best purchase I’ve made. Not cheap but worth every penny.

Aerostich Roadcrafter suit. Comfortable, large vents, full of padding and pockets, repairable, and very quick to get on.
