Boosted Media Gloves & Boots! - Abruzzi Racewear Review

[@leahleah1993]

Hey man went to buy some of these and the links no longer work

[@craigalexp]

Shipping may be further for us but we also tend to get ripped off in general. Manufacturers believe all Australians are wealthy.

[@RacingSimSupport]

I’ve been considering these too. I tried on a few earlier this week and ended up going back to a pair of Diadoras from like 20 years ago. They were my dads and I’ve had them forever. Two days ago I found an old photo of Senna wearing the same ones

[@raysir1]

Jose now is your chance to do a review of your own now that you've received your Gloves and Boots.

[@danielguerrero4121]

Ford? not Holden?

[@MrMurph1981]

How does the sizing come up. Would a Uk10 be a 45?

[@Ronitrades]

how long did they take to arrive? i’ve ordered mine over 6 weeks ago and there not sending me no updates on it

[@RacingRef]

With the racing shoes, how much gap do you have from the big toe to the end of the boot?? Should they be very snug?

[@P3t3rek]

Is it better with short gloves or long gloves from Abruzzi?

[@simonwall23]

Thanks for the review! Bought a set of boots, can't wait to get them!

[@ProSimRacing]

Congratulations buddy, well done. I wish you all the best in this endeavor.

[@eekvos]

Should've printed "Will Ford" the other way around so that it's not upside down on the video. :) Looks great though, really like it and might just go down that route.

[@jackcollins2058]

I just got my abruzzi boots as well saw your mockups and new I would see this video

[@jonferraez]

The links for the boots and the gloves no longer work. Can they be fixed?

[@boostedmedia]

Unfortunately not. We’ve been waiting on the doc resolve issues with the product quality for 2 years now. We’ll update when the issues are fixed

[@YayDanMan]

Do they look cool? Yes Do I want some? Yes Should it be a high priority? Hmm they’re cheaper than others bits of sim gear that I want...

[@boostedmedia]

Haha sounds like my kinda logic. Will make a dent in the other stuff you’re saving for though. ;)

[@YayDanMan]

Boosted Media I probably should fund more meaningful improvements like pedals first since I’m on a G29 these days with the load cell “simulate” rubber insert in the brake

[@craigalexp]

@@YayDanMan I'm still using a G25 I've had since they were first released lol

[@YayDanMan]

Smeg Heeaad in some respects I'd rather a G27 over my G29 because the factory calibration on a G29/920 brake is non-linear because of the insert so if I remove the insert because I don't like it I'm left with a non-linear brake input that sends max signal before max travel is reached

[@FelixKims]

Great branding, feels like a real racing driver. Tbh I had issues with the Alpine Stars pedal cam, it was kinda dark for me to see the pedal inputs, it's waaaaay better now, thanks.

[@boostedmedia]

I need to turn down the brightness and contrast for the next video. Lol. Was like starting at the surface of the sun!

[@NicholasGeorgePrior]

Just getting around to watching this video. But is Abruzzi AU dead now?

[@buztyrhymes0815]

If you ever get a second pair of boots you should definitely ask for your name being printed the other way around on the straps, so it is readable in the pedal-cam! :) (hope you didn't mention this yourself in the video, just scrubbed quickly through at work and will watch later :) )

[@boostedmedia]

Haha that didn't even occur to me TBH. Good call!

[@buztyrhymes0815]

If you ever go karting in them or anything else it might look a bit odd but if they're simulator-only it would be a nice touch. kinda like sponsor stickers on the f1-cars halo for the onboard-cam. :)

[@Bob-Jenkins]

Good idea. I didn't even notice, but I'm kinda strange when it comes to reading. I've recently had a heap of free time so I decided to start reading using a mirror and I've always been able to read upside down. I know none of this is relevant but I'd bet it'd confuse me if he did have them upside down because I'd automatically try to compensate. Like when in traffic and someone has advertising on their bonnet designed so it's readable in your mirrors, that always trips me up for a second.

[@omroldmanracing6053]

Good stuff will!! Thanks for the inspiration and testing.

[@timgarcia259]

Random question, but does it get hot in your sim room? I race in my bedroom which has a window but even then the heat from all my gear tends to warm up the room. It's worse in VR. Do you have this problem?

[@boostedmedia]

About 32C

[@neilb6029]

I learnt that picking the best room in the house is vital for summer months, the room which my sim rig is in has the afternoon sun on both outer walls. This plus the small room with all the gear does make for being the hottest room in the house. I'll be moving soon so not bothered at the moment but in the new house I will pick a sim room more wisely.

[@mark64tanner]

look good. I build, fix and setup guitars as another hobby. Would love to see some more on what you got hanging behind you ;) Constantly amazes me the number of IT or ex IT folks that are musicians especially in the coding and Systems Architecture field. Take care mate.

[@boostedmedia]

Haha yep for sure. IT brained people are very often also musically talented. I might put together a video on the guitars soon I think. A few people have been asking.

[@mark64tanner]

@@boostedmedia Sim Racing, Music, Tech, Family and Friends, What more could you ask for Take care mate. ✌

[@willsutton54]

I should use gloves more often as I get calluses and I get more feel out of bare feet. When I remember I put on my bike gloves ( the summer version and not the heavy winter ones ) but its getting the buttons and keyboard strokes correct.....I sometimes wear just plain cotton gloves to stop the mouse and other controllers getting "greasy". I dont like order boots online because getting the right fit can be a pain.....basicially 8 1/2 or 9 and no idea about 44/45/46/ ( assume its metric )

[@davidrandall5075]

Love your channel will....might have to get myself a set of these bad boys...keep up the great work mate 👌👌👌

[@randomcallsign]

Looks nice

[@SeanyAU]

I love the sim racing community; everyone seems to know each other!

[@randomcallsign]

@@SeanyAU the community is small

[@SeanyAU]

@@randomcallsign the community is growing*

[@RamjetX]

Sizing.... how does sizing compare with Australia sizing standards? Y'know how Small in Australia would be an XXL in Japan.... that kind of thing...

[@RamjetX]

Never mind... I found their sizing chart....it's self explanatory

[@SeanyAU]

Recently discovered your channel and i've actually been thinking about getting some gloves thanks to you. My hands are massive tho so i'm not too sure how i'd go with that Keep up the great work man; home the family is well :-)

[@boostedmedia]

Should be fine mate. I have girly hands but my fingers are long and I'm a small size on their chart. Check out the chart on their site :)

[@SeanyAU]

@@boostedmedia Haha yeah my hand almost covers my G29 so it's a bit hard to drive 😂 Yep i went straight over to the website and i'm currently trying to find a ruler thingy

[@boostedmedia]

@@SeanyAU if you go to the final product image its the size chart :)

[@SeanyAU]

@@boostedmedia Cheers! Mine are exactly 10" and i'm 19 so hopefully they don't grow any more!

[@boostedmedia]

@@SeanyAU Well at least the ladies will be impressed. You know what they say about big hands :P

[@LordandGodofYouTube]

These look perfect for sim racing, I just ordered a set of the gloves.

[@silviutudorescu8114]

For sure i will get those gloves, i already brought a Boosted Media hoody, Boosted Media all the way my friend! You win to get more exposure, and you should!

[@boostedmedia]

Thanks so much for the support :)

[@oliverkold4866]

You should check out some Trak racer stands they are original from australia. I think heard it somewhere

[@nickg4135]

bought mine months ago and love them. i gained 2 seconds in f1 2019 hokenheimring because i could brake harder

[@freak5837]

Would have been good if you got a discount code to share with your subscribers ;)

[@RollingAddiction]

Waited about 6 weeks to get mine, they fell apart straight away, the inside layer, even the bottom rubber has worn a big dint and left black marks and rubber bits all over my pedals. They've been stringing me out so far for a further two months now with sending replacments that apparently where nearly ready 8 weeks ago. Very unhappy with this experience. I don't recommend. They certainly need to lift their game from a business point of view .

[@boostedmedia]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Hopefully they sort it out for you soon.

[@brodeur212]

have you got yours

[@rolandofuentes6444]

I "drive" with thin socks and no gloves...maybe Im to primitive...hahaha.. for me, I use special wear is when I practice downhill (shoes, gloves, helmet, knee protrction, etc).. there it really matters (in comparision)

[@barrymanon9459]

I bought these gloves and found them like wearing a wet suit over your hand. Way too thick and very stiff. You can barely feel the buttons and rotary knobs. Quite disappointed as I can’t wear them and had my name custom printed etc. So back to using my Sparco Land race gloves.

[@RamjetX]

Go Australia! ..... said the pom with a geordie accent.

[@mastodonseven]

sell sell sell!

[@MyIronman8]

well your links are dead

[@Takataz]

I like the gloves but the boots look cheap for that price range.

[@JoelSmithR1]

What if you buy some and they don't fit? Rip? Lol

[@boostedmedia]

No reason that should happen. Theres size charts.

[@JoelSmithR1]

@@boostedmedia I haven't had the best of luck with size charts in the past..

[@jordan8538]

$70 with shipping for Sim gloves.. No thanks, that's highway robbery. There's no way anyone should consider getting these as you can get bmx/mountain bike gloves which are just as good for $30-40.

[@sebastienwoods3152]

Yeah but normally shipping is a lot cheaper and they have better grip, they have specially designed fingers and are lighter so that you can gain as much advantage as you can in racing because they're not just for sim racing you can use them in real life.
