Top 10 summer motorcycle gloves 2020

In this video review, Chris talks through our top 10 summer motorcycle gloves for 2020. Now, as far as gloves are concerned, there are three basic typologies. Winter gloves will have a membrane and an insulating liner of some description. There’s another category that we call Summer Waterproof gloves. These will have a membrane, but no thermal properties. You could wear a glove like this through most of a British summer but, on the hottest days, they might become a little sweaty; and you wouldn’t wear a glove like this if you were crossing the Sahara. The final category, and it’s very much the subject of this review, is what we would call a proper, summer glove: no thermal, no membrane. Gloves like this represent the ultimate in breathability for wearing in the hottest conditions. The downside? No good in the rain. And a bit chilly on a colder day. In this review, we’ve looked at our favourite pure summer gloves. Bear in mind that we don’t do all brands, and we don’t cater for all riding styles. If you spend all your time off road, we don’t have a huge amount to offer. Ditto if you ride a cruiser and want some of those gloves that leave the fingers exposed. But if most of your time is spent on the black stuff, and if comfort, functionality and safety are important considerations, I reckon we should have something to offer you. So grab a cup of tea and a biscuit, Take a seat, and listen to what the Chap in the Cap has to say.

What a legend

[@markmurphy1995]

Thanks Chris. Didn’t know where to start in buying a summer glove and you have answered all my questions! Also very impressive how you can talk so enthusiastically about gloves for half an hour! 😁👍🏻

[@derrickcarrington2378]

As always, super informative and honest review. I learned a lot, and thought I knew all there was to know about gloves.

[@danthechippie4439]

Great detailed and honest review Chris, well done

[@DavidAdiv]

Great review, thank you 🙏

[@SIMONB1]

I was going to ask for a round up of summer vented glove, but you beat me to it, great video again, wish you were a bit nearer to me, long way from the lake district

[@vfarias]

Awesome review.

[@richedwards4651]

Chris a very timely review as I'm in need of new summer gloves, thanks😊

[@fabienpics]

THANK S FOR THIS REVIEW... REALY GOOD INFO 👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦

[@judeoko]

I've had 3 pairs of the halvarsons supreme gloves. They are the gloves I put on without even thinking. What I mean I've a tub with over 20 pairs in some I've paid upto £180 for, some alot more stylish but, I always seem to have on the supreme gloves. Buy small as they wear in stretch and fit beautiful. The branding is a bit gory at first so use a sharpie and then perfect.

[@martinfoster5163]

I’m a fan of Knox Orsa gloves. I wear them in south Vietnam daily where it’s 32C and high humidity I got the white ones. No complaints at all. The only thing I’d add is double leather on the little finger out facing area.

[@Motolegends]

Sorry, not a big fan of Knox. ML

[@HassanAli-jq2mj]

Hi

[@aka_pierre]

@@Motolegends I was looking at the Orsas as well. Is there a problem with them?

[@Fourwedge]

I wish you had one of these videos for 2023 gloves. Not very many of these are available anymore

[@mojoriden]

perfect timing for a glove review and quality as ever. Wish you were in the US! btw Klim is pronounce "climb".

[@gpzfan5272]

mojoriden don’t go there 😂

[@jimjimbobable]

So Klim is pronounced the same as: slime, time, lime, fine, and climb; not like: slim, Jim, Tim, thin. Makes sense...

[@adam346]

surprised you didn't have Five gloves in here anywhere.

[@michaeltyler1834]

I'll tell you this, I've worked in deerskin gloves for over 15 years and I've never seen one punctured, rotted, or worn through, and I'm handling razor sharp reamers and things used for drilling through subterranean rock. A motorcycle crash isn't going to wear through 2oz of deerskin... thats just a fact. Only if the tank catches fire and god forbid the bike blows, at that point hand abrasion is the least of your problems. This leads me to a good point. If you really need to ride but don't have the money or time for Moto gloves, or you're waiting for your gloves to come in, head out to your local Co-Op/Feed Store/Tractor Supply and grab a tight fitting pair of deerskin or boarskin gloves. Not ideal, but waaaaay better than nothing, and in reality they'll more than survive a few meetings with the asphalt!

[@Fee.1]

Is it true kangaroo skin is even better than goat skin? Or it depends on the garment? For what is each better ?

[@sephyhot]

Is there a condensed version? I’m in US in FL and want to know best summer waterproof gloves that aren’t 100 or more

[@Motolegends]

Chris doesn't do condensed versions.

[@colmhaughey7001]

Is s tried an array of summer gloves as I live in an extremely hot county > Laos I’ve found the KNOX Orsa OR3 perfect for my needs...!!!

[@Motolegends]

It's a robust and well built glove but I certainly wouldn't consider it to be as lightweight and breathable as some of the gloves in the review. ML

[@ianjames3078]

Yes, well vented and easy to get on and off in 40C of SE Asia. Have done thousands of Km out there in my Orsas and a UK brand!

[@colmhaughey7001]

Really I’m surprised Cheers...!!!

[@robertmatetich2898]

Is there any data on the temperatures generated during sliding on asphalt, and how well various synthetics stand up to them?

[@Motolegends]

There are no comparison tests and it is a very complicated subject. Too many variables. ML

[@ianjames3078]

No Knox gloves? Shame not to have a UK brand. I’ve had my leather, vented Orsas for a few years and they’ve been fantastic. Really easy to get on and off even in 40C heat of SE Asia when on biking holidays.

[@Motolegends]

Sorry, not a big fan of Knox. ML

[@lakest7573]

Please don't take offence as I love your videos,but instead of sticking the gloves on your hands,could we see close ups of these items. Many thanks,looking forward to visiting the shop this year, as soon as the lockdown is lifted.

[@Motolegends]

This comes up a fair amount but my view is that if you want a close up of the gloves you can do that on the website. Our reviews are about us giving our opinion. Look forward to seeing you when we reopen. ML

[@Fee.1]

Surely plastic is better than super fabric for sliders no?

[@uberwhitey]

Do you ship to the US?

[@Motolegends]

Yes.

[@Vjekoslav-vf3hr]

You should zoom each one of gloves. This is not one man radio show. This is video recording. People wants to see. You do the same problem with all your videos. 96% of you and cap and 4% of product close up. Make it at least 60% of close up and 40% time of you

[@Motolegends]

We're not trying to do what everyone else does. If you want to get a close up of the product go to the website. Our reviews are about us giving our opinions. That's the focus; not the detail of the glove. ML

[@edwardholland9474]

It's pronounced "climb" like climbing a mountain.

[@ginoasci2876]

36 minutes ??????????? jesus christ

[@stephenhamer1702]

Could you mention where these products are made. I am trying to avoid buying anything made in China.

[@SamiNami]

All made in China

[@muzz3564]

Klim is a quality product but massively overpriced which puts me off as there are plenty of quality products out there....

[@Motolegends]

Given the technology and the complexity of some of Klim's gear, I don't think it is all overpriced. I think some of the gloves are a wee bit steep but we still sell them as fast as we can get hold of them. And we get great feedback on them. ML
