SPEED AND STRENGTH TWIST OF FATE 3.0

White, Black; S-XXL

$149.95

FISTS OF FURY

This pre-curved roadrace-style leather glove is lined with DuPont Kevlar across the back of the hand and fingers. A molded plastic palm slider and gauntlet wrist guard, plus beefy knuckle and finger armor, enhance protection, as well as style. I liked the ceramic-treated Pittards leather palm, but fit varied considerably between the left and right gloves.

SEDICI RAPIDO

Black, Red/Black, Blue/Black, Gunmetal/Black; S-XXXL cyclegear.com

$99.99

TRACK DAY DELIGHT

The Rapido has features usually reserved for far more expensive premium racing gloves. Keprotec-lined full-grain leather construction combined with molded palm/wrist sliders delivers track-worthy protection. Initial fit was good, but the knuckle cap chafed the top of my hand. The gauntlet is adjustable and fits best under, not over, a jacket sleeve.

COMFORT FIRST

Likewise pre-curved, this extremely soft and supple glove shuns popular robo-look armor plating in favor of exceptional comfort and feel for the controls of a motorcycle. The goatskin palm with a Pittards leather insert delivers golf-glove-like sensitivity, while cowhide covers the back of hand and knuckle guard. Perforated fingers and wrist let digits breathe.
