Racer Gloves USA High Speed Glove Review

I’m super picky about what goes on my hands when I ride and what protects me from 100+mph knuckle-drags across asphalt and dirt. I mean, shouldn’t everyone be? I dunno, I’m also one of those guys with baby soft hands, free of callouses, clean fingernails, and I wash my hands at least 15 times a day…WITH wholesale soap. Most people think I’m odd. Hell, even I think I’m odd. Anyhow…

clean everything hyperbole and a half

When I got the High Speed gloves a few months ago, Lee asked me to review them after I’d had a chance to try them out.

I warned him then and there: “Lee, I’m honest about my reviews. good, bad, ugly….I’ll write EXACTLY what I feel and think…and I’m REALLY picky about gloves…” He had a rather smug look on his face as I said that. I interpreted it as him being fairly confident that I’d write a positive review.

And rightly so.

These gloves, the Racer Gloves USA, High Speed model gloves, are hands down (*nyuk* no pun intended) the best glove I’ve EVER put on my paws! They’re incredibly comfortable. The palms are made from the supple hides of cuddley kangaroos. Little joey’s fuzzy little pocket-hide is soft, flexible, and strong… yet they don’t bunch in your palms when white-knuckling the bars in terror as I turn “hot-laps” at the track (that’s a common problem I find with a lot of high end race gloves. The palms bunching is a deal breaker for me, actually). They vent amazingly well without any feeling of compromise in safety. My fingers don’t feel like clammy sausages after doing 15 laps in a row in scorching 100 degree heat. The construction is very Jimmy Choo, in that I don’t feel cheated by spending high dollar on them, much like my size 13 heels. A++! ;)

And that knuckle armor…I feel like a bad ass Mad Max type wearing them. Haha!

I hope not to have to test their durability in a crash…It’s been 5 years since I hucked a street bike onto the ground…but I’m confident they’ll protect my precious shutter finger in case I do decide to pitch it away in a blaze of glory (yes, that did happen once before).

I highly recommend them as the last glove you’ll ever wear.

Ken Hill wears them and loves them…
