New vs Used Motorcycle Gloves - Crash Tested

In this episode of Crash Test we put two identical motorcycle gloves to the test. The only difference in the gloves is that one has seen over 20,00KM of service. How much safety do will you loose over time? That's the questions we hope to answer.

Worth to note that i had a pair of Klim Induction gloves and after 10 months one of the gloves seem was ripped. Called Klim. They asked me to destroyed them and send them a picture to prove it, after which they send me a brand new pairs. Awesome customer service!

For maximum safety, buy new gloves after each ride.

The old glove curled in fire to give the big finger lol.. Nice comparison man!

[MacDaddyCZ]

5:03 old glove didn't go down without a fight. Literally formed a middle finger at u hahahaha

Your seam strength test is also measuring how far the leather stretches before breaking force is applied to the seams. The old glove is already prestretched so of course there will be fewer turns of the spreader to tear the seam. The new leather stretches considerably before tearing force reaches the seam. You need a pull strength gauge to test seam strength accurately. Nice effort, though.

Please test a 5-year old helmet vs. a new one! Sometimes, I feel like the helmet manufacturers are full of shit, but you never know!

Yay the Crash test weekly videos are back!

[lematou]

These test is pretty cool.

Will you make a test Old Helmet VS New Helmet.

Some people say they have a lifetime of 5 years.

[xwhels]

Try cheep leather jacket vs alpine star (or icon and dainese) mesh jacket

[lucaswolgast]

Very nice editing and love the speed ups
I prefer this over the old style

[jerkster]

It is now next week. I was promised cheap vs expensive test. Did retailers have you killed?

@fattymcgee123 I think one has to accept the fact that these tests could be flawed in just about every way, but that you just expect a certain amount of integrity and honesty from him. Also when you look at the results, its not really that surprising to me. And at the end of the day I don't really see him pushing one product onto his subs or another, or any fishy sales tactics, or at least I don't feel that way. So I find these vids entertaining and they answer a lot of questions like what it looks like when you blow torch certain things etc. But that being said, freeze a glove, put it on and you'll gain a few seconds on the heat test, use a dead battery on a bb gun and you won't penetrate as much, or even a potentiometer or adjustable bb speed, also apply only slight pressure when grinding and then use a lighter bowling ball on the drop test etc etc haha I think one could manipulate just about every one of these tests, but again, it doesn't matter because there isn't really an agenda behind it and its for entertainment in the first place, and to educate. I think the results line up perfectly, foam wears out, looses integrity, leather thins and looses strength over time, stitching becomes weaker and so on. All good, great video. I enjoyed.

dude, your vids are entertaining and informative! keep being you and bless you buddy!

Watch all your videos before I buy anything. Subscribed!

Nice video, definitely looking forward to seeing the helmet comparison. Bought my wife a cheap helmet I'd never heard of from craigslist only because she will RARELY ever go out on the bike with me. The one time I had her on it, she wouldn't let me leave the neighborhood and didn't want me to go over 20mph. So why spend a lot of money on a helmet that will almost NEVER get used... but then there is the fear of that one time I get her to take the bike on date night, and that happens to be the day things go wrong.

Can you please do "New vs Used Helmet" using the same brand and model?

[darkchildneverever]

This is useful but it just raises even more questions now like whether any used gear is worth buying without knowing how hard they've been abused.

[rohanb]

a fun comment-. Ryan you almost seem like a torture master with these tests you run with scissors and all 😁

[winston]

Cool, you're going to crash test the same R710 helmet I wear! Looking forward to it.

[barkerbrothers]

When it comes to testing abrasion strength, could you not place a metal plate inside the glove and time it to when you get the first spark? That way you don't have to keep turning the glove over and checking to see if it's worn through.
