RST TracTech EVO 4 CE Glove Review | Sportbike Track Gear

[@Albertalorian]

25 years of riding, my absolute favorite gloves! Work amazing with my S1 1Pc Suit or Sabre Jacket. I've had all the long gloves except Icon, and these blow them all away for 1/2 the money.

[@madpirate1790]

I have a pair of these gloves and I'm very happy with my purchase. I've read other people's reviews on the gloves and some argue that they are not only a better value than other full gauntlets but they are just a better glove than some of the more expensive ones.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is the best race glove value we have period. That is why we order them 500 at a time. - Van

[@montoya197803]

Im late picking these up, but they just arrived today and they are better than I thought they would be. I got them because of this video and ordered them from STG as well. Shipping was very prompt and I couldnt be more impressed. All around a great decision. Thanks!

[@Nieumieralny]

They are amazing. I bought them last month and I'm really happy about it.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thanks for the feedback and enjoy your new gloves! - Van

[@dvera9726]

Do they fit well over the jacket?

[@Livinindamoment]

Bought 2 pairs of these gloves as you suggested one in black the other in white size XXL Very comfortable and inspires a great sense of security. Loves these gloves!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thanks for the order and enjoy the new gloves. - Van

[@jakewade688]

New rider here, just got the white version for my first, delighted to see they are what I thought they were when ordering

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Happy to hear you like them. My Son Max and I are both riding in these and love them. The best race glove value on the market for sure. - Van

[@jakewade688]

@@sportbiketrackgear cheers Van, actually didn’t realise they were a race glove, bought them based on the safety of them, no harm they are used on the track primarily

[@heth91]

Hey I would like to get the white ones as well but I have some questions! How the white held up over time? Did it become dirty or yellow fast? Thanks 🙏

[@heth91]

And do you sweat a lot in the summer or are they cold in the winter? Thanks 😉

[@Philth_E]

I was just thinking tonight on my ride home about upgrading gloves, i'm riding with the alpinestar SMX-2's currently. Own a pair of RST jeans, they are very well made.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is a great pair of gloves that sell at an amazing price. Sometimes I think the price scares people off because they don't believe they will be that good when they sell for just over $100. - Vaj

[@ratpackgaming5230]

Amazing gauntlets but more importantly someone get this man a monster!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I have moved on to the Bang's now. - Van

[@Ty-no8lj]

To potential buyers reading this....as of 6-24 they have a bit of stock. Already got minne in camo. STG is the moveeee!!!!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We have hundreds in stock now, selling fast. Hard to get let alone keep anything in stock these days. Thanks for the order and enjoy your gloves. - Van

thanks for the review I just bought a pair and love them

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback. - Van

[@cataclysmicdelta1828]

the gloves are definitely protective but everywhere I've seen, including their website, only lists the gloves as CE level 1-KP probably worth correcting in your site listing and the description here. The mixup probably came from them claiming level 2 knuckle protection which is likely true but the glove didn't pass full level 2, likely due to failing the CE level 2 seam burst test, the most common way otherwise safe gloves fail.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Appreciate the heads up, we will take a look at that. - Van

[@dungtienpham1028]

The lining of my shoes does not have kevlar printed on it. Do I have a fake?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you did not buy them from an authorized dealer it is possible you have a fake. If you did buy them from a proper dealer then it is likely RST made a running change and they are genuine. I have seen fake RST products like all of the other big brands. Odds are if you got these from some market place or bullshit website at a crazy low price they will be fake. - Van

[@stefangiurgila7807]

Just bought them got on offer for €90. They look great but only colour black was available for that price. RST is best for value. Cheap . Got full suit with gloves and boots for under 500 which is great. Going to treat me well for good few years untill I might upgrade my suit

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No better value than RST when it comes to riding gear. - Van

[@liamsnow7996]

Evening Would you recommend these Rst Tractech evo 4 gloves or spend a bit more and go for the alpinestars gp pro r3 gloves? Only use for the odd trackday and road riding. Best review videos on KZbin, top job 🤟🏻🤟🏻 Cheers

[@sportbiketrackgear]

My Son Max and I both ride/race in the RST TracTech EVO Gloves. I would never put my boy in anything I did not believe was top shelf. These are kick ass gloves. - Van

[@valentin1166]

Any idea why it's labeled as 2 KP but on the gloves label it says 1 KP? You can clearly see it if you pause the video at 4:03

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Made with both full-grain cowhide and kangaroo leather, the glove features a CE Level 2 Carbon Knuckle Protector for impact protection. This is from the RST direct site. - Van

[@Pangowin]

Will you be restocking these anytime soon? Loved my last pair and am struggling finding something else that fits so well over the suit.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

500 pair on the way that should be here any day now. - Van

[@Mr-E.]

In regards to the size chart on your website, is the palm measurement done across the knuckles or across the palm near where the thumb inserts? I see that some glove brands want measurements across the knuckle, others want it below the knuckles and across the palm so I wasn't sure.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You would need to measure across the palm not the knuckles. We find these gloves to run true to size. - Van

[@jimbo21ist]

I bought a pair , before watching this video. Love them. But I still wandering about the little flap on the thumb joint.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

That flap is just there for a little extra protection for the thumb. This is an excellent pair of gloves. - Van

[@1980Aioria]

They look amazing, are they suitable for winter time riding?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

These are a non-insulated, full gauntlet race glove that can be used on the street or the race track. RST does offer a waterproof version similar to this glove that has some insulation. Here is a link to them on our site: RST S-1 CE Waterproof Gloves www.sportbiketrackgear.com/rst-s-1-ce-waterproof-gloves/

[@TheSpanishVulture]

Great review as always. I usually rate RST stuff pretty highly here in the UK. I'm guessing not but do these work with a smartphone touch screen?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

These do not offer a touch screen feature. Great pair of race gloves that sell for a really fair price. - Van

[@ernestonoir5796]

I see you carry a lot of RST, do you plan to get the womans one piece race suite in eventually?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We do not have any plans to bring that in at this time. Women's gear does not sell very well which makes it hard to justify investing in the inventory. - Van

[@musicjnky1982]

Damn, I guess I could pick up 3 of these instead of those Dainese gloves.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Without compromising safety or feel. - Van

[@esprokr99]

Are these more American or Euro fit? I fall somewhere between a medium and large depending on the gloves I buy (my A-star GP pro pro r2 are large, but my smx2 are medium). I love when gloves fit great but struggle with Dainese and their long fingers and tight palms and have to order up a size. Looking forward to picking up a pair of these.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

IMO all of the RST gear offers more of an American fit than Euro. - Van

[@nawtn]

I'm interested in these gloves. Are they easy to get on and off? My alpinestars I have difficulty when the weather is hot. I rented dainese gloves this weekend and it was a world of difference.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would say these are easy to get on and back off. I rode in a pair for a couple seasons and love them. - Van

[@Dare_To_Imagine]

Hi Van! How is the fit of this gloves? I have "skinny" hands and usually i can find the right fit only with Alpinestars gloves size M. Other brands usually have larger fingers and if they are ok in lenght, the fingers are too "loose". Are these RST similar to Alpinestars or they have more an "american fit"? In this case, do you have any suggestion for a brand that fits ok on skinny hands? Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would say they are close with the Astars being thinner if there is a difference. - Van

[@Comrade_Chloe]

Have you seen any issues with these being used for daily riding? I’m somewhat concerned about the durability of the kangaroo palm long term, but I know not all gloves are the same.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I have had the same pair for over three seasons of track riding now and they still look great. IMO these will hold up great. - Van

[@wrathofdiablo]

If i wear a XL in alpinestars will these be the same size ? Thanks!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I wear the same size in these I do in the Alpinestars gloves. Order the same size, you should be good to go. - Van

[@landonfolken03]

Do you know when you may have some more large in black back in stock?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Huge shipment of RST is in customs now. Should be here sometime next week. - Van

The size of a-star sp8-v3 gloves which I wear is L . What size do you recommend for RST TracTech EVO 4?

[@victorserrano9872]

Why are you switching? I cant decide to buy between those and these

[@flynntrager9949]

Hey, do you think these are overkill for street use? Would they still be a good buy if budget permits or am i better off going with less protection for cheaper with more ventilation etc? Thanks

[@budmiller7436]

My current gloves are Cortech in XL but I suspect they run small because my hands are not particularly big. Should I order L or XL?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I feel like most of the Cortech gloves run pretty true to size. If you still need help please reach out to the team on [e-mail] or call 888.784.4327. They will get you sorted out. - Van

[@andyyee90]

How do these gloves compare to RS Taichi NXT055?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This is our number one selling glove for a reason. IMO it stacks up very well against gloves that sell for 2-3 time as much. - Van

[@Ty-no8lj]

Yo order 500 more. That camo is tooooooo nice.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We have 500 pair on the way now. Supply chain issues have slowed this down but we expect to see them soon. - Van

[@neccccro9848]

Warning, the gloves as such are not CE certified 2. RST doesn’t directly claim that the RST Tractech Evo 4 gloves are CE-certified as Level 2-KP, but, rather, that the knuckle armor is CE Level 2; this is mentioned in vague language, which can easily lead to consumers to believe that the RST Tractech Evo 4 gloves are CE Level 2-KP certified when they’re not. The gloves are CE 1 only.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

These gloves are bar none the best value in a road race glove we offer today. You can compare their performance and protection to gloves that sell for more than twice the price. You may ask how we know this to be the truth? The answer is because we have been using them ourselves for several seasons. This would include long term use without crashing and crashing while racing. Warning: Don't get lost in the useless details. - Van

[@neccccro9848]

@@sportbiketrackgear I'm not saying they are bad, I have them myself and they fit great :) just wanted to point out that for some the manufacturer's description may be misleading and they might mistakenly believe that the gloves are CE 2.

These are made in Pakistan. RST has employees on staff at the factories they use. Over the years we have seen Pakistan emerge as one of the best places to produce motorcycle gear. - Van
