With fall and winter around the corner an updated version of this would be great!

[@ColtonBlumhagen]

Time to remake this video. Literally all 4 gloves are discontinued on your site.

[@amandeeperz]

what this guy said Ryan

[@ryanbear1808]

And add temperature. As in this glove is good for 40 degrees at highway speeds up to an hour...

[@chrislatorre3875]

Please delete and update

[@calartian85]

Yeah, Ryan.

[@ThatMagaLife]

You're disappointing the people MR F-9

[@mmm4638]

WFX is my kinda glove. Super sport adventure rider. Rain shine. Cold hot show goes on. Winter riding high power bikes it's thrill out of this world. Music and 4twenty....23 years and never gets old.

[@rememberthis8795]

I rode my Zuma 125 to work the first day I got my motorcycle license. The problem was I did not think it would get down to 34 degrees. My fingers froze during my 3 mile ride at about 35 MPH. The next day I went to Extreme Power Sport in Columbus GA and picked up a pair of Joe Rocket gloves that look very much like the ones you have in the video. All I can say is… AWESOME product!!! Mine were a touch over $50 USD.

[@IBicbenI]

I've been using the Richa cold protect GTX gloves for 2 years now, great all weather gloves, from pouring rain to -10 C

[@mjnoob1391]

Fortnine, I own a sport bike and use it to commute just under 20 miles a day for my job. I'm trying to be a year-round rider, but lately its been windy and cold. It'll be high 30s when I leave the house, but wind chill makes it worse, and it'll get colder before the Spring, so I would appreciate a more current video. Some days when I get to work, my fingertips are way cold, and if I ever had to go more than about 10 miles, I'd worry. I'm considering heated grips myself, but wish for a flexible, protective - and mostly - warm glove.

[@TsvetanVR]

Heated grips while great for your palms, they can't really warm your fingers up. I'm still using mine. An updated winter gear video would be really appreciated.

[@shiftyshamsk]

I've used handle bar muffs in the past with great effect. The don't look as bad as they did once.

[@mikeinnh9179]

Still finding old vids I haven't seen... Your always entertaining, love your content. Keep up the good work!

[@shiftyshamsk]

If you are serious about riding any distance in comfort, dry and warm, then fit the latest handle bar muffs. I've used bar muffs in the past with great effect. The don't look as bad as the older style ones.

[@claudedouble007]

I use those Fox gloves for dirt bikes, my Harley and when doing landscape. Totally in love with them.

[@ZX9RDan]

Ryan!! You're in BC!! It rains in BC!! Come on man!! I need an update for this topic. I need some good waterproof gloves for a long trip!! I have some, but the liner is not attached to the shell. because it moves around within the shell, it causes some pretty serious fatigue.

[@TheWorrLord]

Is there an updated video for 2019; Canada isn’t getting much warmer.

[@jordan999fire]

He lives in Canada

[@edhog]

Greta told me that it’s getting hot up here - how dare you

[@sijonda]

With most modern adventure bikes having heated grips I hope we get a review of gloves that have thin insulation palms and finger tips but thicker on the back side of the hand and fingers. This video is almost 10 years old now.

[@craigwilliams3721]

The 5WFX1 glove has reflective fingers for riders who always cover their brake and clutch levers with the 2 fingers with reflective material. This is not a fluke thing, it's a careful, conscientious, conspicuous decision to help riders be more visible to the idiot cagers out there. No need to "give em the bird" if 4 fingers light up when hit with headlights. I think it's genius. Bravo.

[@hillie47]

3:48 It's not a weird feature. If you ride like I do, which is with index and middle finger on the brakes, those reflective bits make perfect sense. I also don't understand the argument that if you're a tourer who rids 8 hours a day, you don't need the armor... Nobody needs any armor ever, as long as they're on the bike. In that second or two that last an hour between being launched off the bike and impacting on the pavement (or worse...), you will be happy thinking of all the armor you're wearing.

[@baltsosser]

Maybe riding in cold is not a good thing for some people, but I ride 12 months of 12. Sometimes you get a 'surprise' weather condition and that means you need to break out some heated gear. Say it's raining and 50ish degrees. You might need to plug in depending on how it feels to you. Some are well suited to that but I have lived in the south too long to have that adaptation any more.

[@gavinearls2935]

need an update for sure on this one

[@ABikerDude]

Great Job and excellent video!

[@addusernamehere]

We still need these vids up on Rumble sometime, Ryan. It's even a canadian company, eh?

[@pittbulldawgz]

The reflective fingertips... I throw up old school hand signals during lane changes. When you stick them off in their headlights they are definitely seen and it makes you feel like a badass for some reason.

[@just-dl]

you're probably on to the official reason...but, for some reason, I like Ryan's explanation! :-)

[@Cptntasty]

I love this video, he says "Chassis" properly.

[@zenrider_9622]

My personal experience just this past November I did a 16 hour ride in rain from 47 degrees to 34 degrees and 2 hours of 2 inch snow in 30 degrees. heated grips,waterproof gloves that keep your hands totally dry. If you can't get good heated grips then most definitely heated gloves.

[@zenrider_9622]

Also side note, if you have the proper rain/winter gear, it really isn't that bad to ride in...except ice...screw ice...be very very cautious on ice.

[@jacobp.3228]

The two fingers are most likely reflective for when you are using your clutch or brake levers.

[@AverageR0]

Great video! I was actually looking for something decent to wear in winter but none of the ones I've tried seem to work and I cannot find any solid advice anywhere else. Keep up the good work! Subscribed!

[@DDIAZ-we4dz]

i feel like joe rocket always packs a bunch a nice features into their gear.

[@alecstahl2387]

Excellent video and great advice. Thanks a lot and keep it up!

[@M4NA5]

Please make a new one, ~RF9.

[@Bikeadelic]

I am that 1% winter sport bike guy 😂🤷‍♂️

[@renatorezende6536]

if you are the 1st I'm the 2nd hahaha

[@basilbinu8361]

okay am 3rd😂

[@2twolow]

I get some weird satisfaction when I see a cager wondering how im riding in 30 degrees.

[@Bikeadelic]

@@2twolow i cringe at words like cager

[@ccarson380]

With picked tires..😂👍

[@handlemonium]

Guess what? The Five WFX Skin WP is now a on clearance at Iron Pony Motorsports/MotoStealz for *30 bucks* including tax and shipping! It's the women's model, but I ordered two pairs of the "XL" size which fits my medium-large hands pretty well.

[@moghx2]

When is the updated version coming?

[@tienofthesouth]

I am definitely going to get the Five WFX1, just so I can stick up my middle finger at drivers in the dark.

[@johnwgibson24]

Motorcycle glove make the best Skiing gloves and the price is right.

[@masao377]

PLEASE UPDATE RYAN! Montreal is getting cold! :(

[@patrickwhitaker933]

outstanding video thank you

[@OverGiraffe-zl1qs]

"A tactical glove is not a warm glove and a warm glove is not a tactical glove." That's unacceptable to me. Every one of the gloves in this review looks too big and clunky, except the Polar Paw, which is not available in 2022. Ryan, you need to do updates!

[@BudFox559]

I have that Balistic 7.0. it's a great glove. Mine says Street & steel but it looks exactly the same, so it probably is

[@osgnuru]

Sold! I ride a lot in the cold and rain. I am going to use this advice for my next purchase. Thank you.

[@neokeese5704]

What do you think of the Firstgear Outrider gloves? Do you give them a passing grade?

[@ragnvaldvold3802]

Your room is awesome #goals

[@brianwgDK]

LOL its a studio set

[@zyonsdream]

None of these gloves work in actual winter... Get a GORE-TEX winter glove with a leather shell. Add a battery heated glove liner for warmth. My coldest ride is -10 F. These gloves might be okay in the 40 F range. Oh. And a glove is only waterproof if the glove goes under the jacket sleeve. Otherwise you’re just funneling water into the glove. A longer gauntlet on a winter glove that you want to use in the rain is not a good idea.

[@professionalcomplainerandf3006]

zyonsdream best comment ever and so true

[@mykheaton]

Daft question, gloves under or over the jacket sleeve when it's raining?

[@alexanderkrsic550]

I am taking a shot rn I think it’s gonna be a big ass log dropping out

[@jstraub78]

The back of the Joe Rocket Ballistic Gloves look like a smiley face....lol

[@jimmya4217]

I'm yet to find any wet weather gear that's water proof after an hour.

[@znismo1]

Which would you recommend for 45 degree weather going 80mph for 60 minutes? Does not need to be waterproof.

[@HadronWolf]

In the UK these are all weather gloves lol

[@michaelsteven1090]

All the winter gloves suck..I’ve never found one that actually works below 50 degrees

[@UVjoint]

I like how the video starts out by jumping to a conclusion. Why stop there? Follow up the heated gloves comment with more personal biases.

[@yutehube4468]

3:51 this made me subscribe hahahaha

[@pacibaco]

Rukka and Held are the proven choices ... make sure they are GoreTex or proprietary waterproof materials

[@caposolomon8745]

Why can't I find any glove you where talking about?

[@kushpaladin300]

damn shame the first one is discontinued. all the winter gloves on Revzilla are $150 or more......

[@johndibiase882]

I have looked every where for those Joe Rockets and none i have found look like yours

[@Karsonius]

They've been discontinued, video is nearly 2 years old so that may be the case for some time now

[@jarimartikainen5507]

The Joe Rocket is the clove I have and it definitely wasn't waterproof! Well, maybe it was and water off my jacket ran down in to my clove. But definitely comfortable clove and I wear them pretty much no matter what I ride! Anyway, gotta keep looking.. You guys wouldn't have recommendations for dot snow tire? ;)

[@malp6280]

ok! I'm not a biker "yet!!" however.. I'm just pondering why there isn't a hand guard to deflect the cold air from hitting your hands from the get go.. mix that with the heated hand grips you surely should be fine???

[@MrChocalatestarfish]

Mal P there’s plenty of them they’re called handguards most motocross ones work, you can also get big mittens that go over the bar ends but they look ridiculous

[@jh383zx]

If you ride dual sport you can get guards cause the help against trees and damage to levers when you inevitably drop your bike

[@lorddanielson2453]

Are those Joe Rocket's only in the Canadian market?? They have Ballistic 7.0's at all the stores in the USA but they are completely different!!!

[@loudubbs22]

I agree what I'm seeing online is not whats on this video.

[@jstokes4688]

is there any way whatsoever i can get those Five wfx 1s shipped to the states?

[@FortNine]

At the moment we can't make it happen. And I'm not too familiar with US dealers, but it seems like most of the big players don't carry WFX1s. Sorry about that! ~RyanF9

[@stephaniebaird3931]

talking about 'the best' but you put the five brand glove but not the alpinestar WP gore tex glove? its 50$ less and has goretex with relatively same features.....

[@nspinicelli]

Anyone have thoughts on the Scorpion EXO Tempest gloves?

[@damienjinxmisa]

I have those Joe Rocket gloves. I live in Vancouver so I see lots of rain. First off try to get those gloves on with any kind of moisture on your hands. Second those gel pads hurt the palms of my hands. My ride to work can be 30 min to 1hr and my hands are so sore after wearing these gloves it ridiculous. They do keep my hands dry though so......

[@just-dl]

maybe the gloves are just bit (half-size?) too small? I had some gloves that I loved, but, it had a seam that just killed me, because it was just a little small. I'm between sizes, so finding gloves that fit is a pain in the....knuckle. Hopefully, you've got a solution by now....I see this an older comment.

[@JamesWhiting96]

Is there such thing as a 4 season glove?

[@connorsmith713]

no not really. its either gonna be too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. maybe try a mid weight glove and just accept that your hands are gonna be hot in the summer then toss some heated grips on to stay warm in the winter. But overall you're way better suited just buying two pairs of gloves.

[@jamesperrin5691]

sports, cuzer, adventure are just marketing terms. I ride lots of different bikes so should I get all these gloves? No thats nonsensical and a waste of money.

[@jwar238]

the fx1 also works for the prudent year round rider who likes to be over armoured

[@dubsidebeats3399]

The smell of damp from my gloves after it rains is disgusting

[@jamescole2725]

I guess im a weird one😂

[@ricardojornada]

whats the point of any glove that is not touch screen...

[@ktadema]

"If it's so cold that I need to plug myself in to an electrical socket, maybe I shouldn't be out anyway" And maybe you shouldn't be making videos about cold-weather motorcycle gloves if you believe that.

[@robertfinnegan5607]

Meow, meow, meow

[@Matt-xe5dc]

i think that u missed the point.... if its so cold that you need a heater to not freeze then u shouldn't be riding, but if you dont need the heater then you should be fine...

[@baltsosser]

50 degrees and a cold rain might suggest you need heated gear. 50 is not too cold to ride, and rain, well. meh, rain happens. Why let something so common stop you from riding?

[@KevinModz65]

Why are there so many assholes today that can’t get by a video without inserting their opinion? There is a difference between cold weather, and beyond cold where electrical equipment will be needed. I appreciate the video

[@swerveo7313]

Kevin Wilkerson why shouldn’t he insert his opinion? That’s what the comment section of KZbin is for you fucking imbecile. Oops sorry let my opinion slip ;)

[@labusasmr5835]

Just wondering what makes you a motorcycle expert and why we should listen to your advice?

[@dmxlowride]

Did he say he's a motorcycle expert? At the beginning of the video he said these are his "favourite gloves for wet and cold weather" so his side of the coin.. Take it or leave it.

[@MrRamman04]

Start your own videos if you got better advice, you probably prefer latex gloves anyway, eh Doc can you check again to be sure

[@gwot]

wow people are negative eh. He's from FortNine, in case you don't know, it's a online motorcycle gear store, so he has access to a lot of gear, he may not be able to ride in them all but first impressions, test fitting, and in person inspection of the gear is better than looking at pictures online. This is his take and opinion, take it with a grain of salt and move on.

[@alecstahl2387]

He drives motorcycles? He has very reasonable advice? That makes it for me.
