Motorcycle Glove Fit and Sizing Guide

Once you've determined you're price range, and what features you want in a glove, the most important thing is how the glove fits. During our glove shootout, Van and Jimmy were really able to see the importance of a proper fitting glove, and how a glove that doesn't fit well can negatively impact the performance of a glove. In this video we will show you how a glove is supposed to fit, and some of the ways to help determine if the glove is a proper fit. Once you get your gloves, before you take the tags off, put the gloves on and make sure they fit correctly. Test your feel with the gloves on, test how they feel the the handlebar in your hand.

STG is my reliable final word shop before deciding the purchase

What kind of gloves do you suggest for someone with very wide palms and comically short thumb/ other fingers? E.g. 19cm length (top of middle to wrist), and 22cm palm diameter? So far what's fit the best is REAX Superfly in Small. At least the palm and thumb fit well, but my other 4 fingers have almost an inch of pinch at the end. Thanks!

Thanks for the great info Van!
P.S. the new outro is sickkkk

[Firestorm]

The gloves feels nice. The thumb is to the end of the glove but the other fingers about 1/2 inch short of glove fingertips. Is that ok it go down another size?

The worst part about gloves Brian is that different companies use different sizes. A Joe Rocket large is too large for me, but a AS large fits me just right and my finger tips are right at the edge of the gloves. Where a JR gloves my fingers don't reach all the way to the tip and gets caught up underneath my brake levers which takes an extra second for me to move my fingers when I'm braking, ya... It's not the best thing. This almost forces me to buy retail from a bike shop and overpay cause I can physically check the glove size.

+Sportbike Track Gear but what if you have freakishly short fingers?

please direct me to the manufactures that make gloves with the shortest fingers. I just measured. My middle finger is 3 1/4" from webbing the tip (no nails). My thumb is 2 1/2" from webbing to tip. Please help. im interested in race gauntlets.

Small but it's good for us..Thank sir

The main problem is fingerless gloves. It's very hard to remove. People just look at me struggle to remove that gloves.

I have a pair of gloves that fit perfect through the finger length but the only issue is material bunching in the palm when gripping the handlebar, it causes the glove to pinch my skin the entire time. Is this a sign the glove is too large?

[konstantinos_iliadis]

Great and helpful video thanx, just one question. I tried an alpinestars glove, the fingers fitted all the way in, wrist was fine, but stretching the thumb was tight, it was stretching the inside of the glove too much, when opening my thumb, is that an issue? Will it affect reaching the front brake ?

[FourThreeSeven]

Hey Brian. Do you guys have a showroom? Im in Michigan and looking to get full leathers, boots and gloves. Would love to come try everything on at your location.

I can never find a glove that fits over my hand but then my fingers aren’t swimming in extra material. Are there brands that notoriously have shorter fingers? Or short sizing?

[AndyPutt]

Thankyou for your segment. I also check where the palm slider sits- on my palm or is it too low? ALso the knuckle protectors- are they actually over the knuckles or more over the back of the hand? If they answer is "yes" to either of those questions the gloves is too big. No point having a palm slider not on your palm or knuckle protectors not over you knuckles.

[riskysway]

My gloves are larger than neccessary, but i still find it very hard to use the turn signals. What can i do?

[DareThompson]

How can you tell if you need a smaller size?

[rambleonandon]

Okay hang on, should you be able to wiggle or twist the leather around the fingers,

[mircea]

hhh.. gloves are a nightmare to me.
My fingers' length is of a Large glove. But my fingers are narrower, so Large feels loose. So does the rest of the glove, it feels big.
So then I try out a Medium. My fingers are too long for a Medium, but the glove is fine in other aspects.
Tf do I do? Fining a pair is SO difficult, and I can't even be pretentious to what kind of glove it is, or the protection on it. I'm just praying it fits.

[Rajinish]

@Sportbike Track Gear. I am using Astar gp tech small size. The fitting is too tight but finger length is good. Medium size feel good at the palm but the finger is too long. I have short fingers, What do you suggest for me? What do you think about revit jerez? ( Revit spitfire medium size is perfect for me).
