2024-2025 Race Gauntlet Glove Shootout

It has been a while since our last Motorcycle Race Glove Shootout for sure. Our goal with projects like this one is to help you choose the right pair of gloves the first time. Everything we share in this video has been learned over decades of riding. From racing in the MotoAmerica SuperSport Class to riding on the street we have the experience and knowledge it takes to help you make the most of your next ride.

I bought the RST gloves from you guys and have absolutely loved them. Been down on them a couple times and for the price the durability seems to be unmatched. For me they had quite a bit of break in but I tend to be right in the middle of two sizes and they were probably a little on the tight side for me. But after a while of wearing them they have felt absolutely amazing and would highly recommend them as a budget option.

What’s up Brian! Just want say your son Max seems awesome and good luck to him. My 17 year old is getting in bikes because I’ve been riding sport bikes since I was 14.
I know this message doesn’t apply to the video, just want to say thank you for having everything I have purchased and helped save my life when someone T-boned me. My Arai helmet and Alpinestars jacket, oants, and boots with all the armor saved my life. 9 broken bones, yeah it’s sucked being on the trauma helicopters. But without the riding gear and armor you all sell and provide, all the EMS said the gear saved my life. I just want to thank you 🙏

Bought three pairs of Racer gloves, and can't imagine wearing anything else. Brian Van does a great job explaining every glove in a video, including fit. I've bought so many gloves online that didn't fit because I had no idea they fit larger or smaller. Brian tells you exactly how Racer gloves fit, and so far, his explanations have been super accurate. Happy to give STG my business because of the honesty and accuracy of Brian's descriptions.

Motorcycle racing is not for the faint of heart. It’s very important to have the best gear you can get when on track. As someone who still enjoys track days, I really appreciate these types of reviews. Will keep buying from you whenever possible.

The fit of alpinestars gloves have longer fingers compared to like 15 years ago, so I had to change brands. I moved to FIVE gloves and the fit and feel is amazing.

Have 2 pairs of RST's from you guys, absolutely love them!

[MrNathon]

I got my RST gloves today. I love them. Thank you guys! To me, they feel nearly broken in. They feel so good.
I was using a pair of Sedici Chicane Gloves. They are nearly the same price, but feel like cheap trash compared to the RST.

I’m using always RST and most of my friends also… because they are soft the feedback it’s excellent and they protect very well and I’m over a 15 low side a year 🤣 have bought a lot of pairs from you guys thanks Van for the video

[grandtaino]

I'm surprised the Knox handroid are not here. I remember it used to be one of your top gloves when I bought my first set over 10 years ago, and I love the level of protection and simplicity of the boa system.

I am getting back into motorcycles again I remember having Alpinestar motocross gear in the 80s with the old logo that looked like a coiled circle LOL man time flies

I’m impressed by the level of detail and experience on the right key elements that you need to know to choose the right glove. This video info is above F9 channel 👍🏻

Hey, Brian….. we appreciate improving video quality but just wanted to offer a tip that would massively improve lighting. Your side lights are too small and therefore the light is too harsh on the sides of your face while leaving your front in shadow. Move the side lights as close as possible or get bigger ones…. or add diffusion. You could even dial the power down a little if possible. That would be a big help. Also, if you add a beauty dish light overhead on a boom ….centered and a bit in front of you….. you will get a massive improvement in lighting. EVERYTHING will look better. You…. the products you’re showing…. colors…. just everything. Just a few tips from a photographer who knows a bit about lighting. 👍🏻

Racer and Heroic gloves fit me perfectly with fingertips that are not too long like most gloves off the shelf.

Van, great video as always. I purchased the RST gloves from you guys and as many of my previous comments about RST products, I absolutely love them. These are such a no brainer. I could have probably gone down a size to a medium but after 2 years break in they still feel great. These gloves also have Kevlar inside. I encourage everyone to see the full breakdown Van does of these gloves. They are his #1 best seller for a reason. The quality and value make these a great purchase. I know I always rant and rave about RST products but there are certain purchases that I've made where I am extremely satisfied.

As a side note. I'm the guy that values quality for a great price and don't mind opening the budget if the quality is worth it and I'm really big on customer service. I shop at Costco for everything for this same reason. And if I can't get it there chances are I probably just won't get it. But I digress . I have absolutely no buyers remorse when it comes to RST gloves, Evo 4 leather and Boots. I travel to work and each time I put on my gear and take it off, I'm always grateful that I purchased these. I'm actually looking to purchased the RST backpack because I need something bike oriented for my daily commutes and what I currently have just isn't suffice and for $40 bucks you just can't beat the quality associated with RST. Plus Costco had a regular puma backpack for $40 which makes the RST a no brainer.

As for service, Van has been doing this for a very long time ladies and gentlemen. Nothing against your local Cycle gear because I like some of the guys in there. But STG is family owned and they beat everyone else's price on everything and once you apply your rewards to your purchase, it becomes and even better deal. Van and Max's videos on products are 2nd to no one along with their shop videos. I've learned how to install my cans, chain maintenance, fender kits. It definitely takes the guess work out of it and they make things easier. I can't say enough about these guys.

All in all, great video. Van, I am such a happy and satisfied customer and really appreciate you guys. The STG stickers are on my gixxer 750 and my dresser and thats saying a lot. Keep up the great work bro.

What he said 👇🏼 Five gloves are probably the best on the market, the top spec are pricey but for a reason.Luv your vids and value your opinion over 99% of other people.Keep the great vids comin !!!👌🏼🏁

I’ve had two pairs of RS Tai Chi racing gloves from you. Excellent quality, Knox palm sliders and lots of well thought out design touches.

I switched to Tai Chi after two pairs of Five gloves that were French prices and Chinese manufacture, the seams on the wrist Velcro strap came apart after only a couple of months. Not what you need if emptying the piggy bank for a pair of gloves

[nesbittracing]

I picked up a set of the RST's and love them, the first rain race of the year they bleed a little ink and turned my hands purple for a few days 😂 but otherwise have been fantastic!

[clipofthedayyup]

Just in time for me. I saved to watch later. Thanks Brian!

[strlinesquid]

I’ve had the middle finger on my Astars gp pro r3 restitched 4 times in the 1 year I’ve had them. Twice by Astars and twice by the leather repair lady that is at the races (currently needs a 5th restitch). They took awhile to break in but I’ve really liked the way they feel after (except when my bare finger is sticking out of them)

[motontion]

Brian, I really trust your reviews and appreciate you doing them. I have lost faith in a-stars, my opinion is they charge what they charge based on name. I have been slowly going to rst, from boots to gloves. Seems to me to be better quality and better pricing. I'm probably getting an RST suit from you here soon.

Thanks, keep them coming.
