The “Track Day” Experience: What to look for in motorcycle Race Gloves?
So you are ready to hit the track and want to know what to look for in high quality motorcycle race gloves? Yes, I said race gloves! When you take your bike to a track, you are in the big leagues and that requires “professional grade” equipment such as Komodo Gear.
You will need a glove that offers higher levels of protection than an everyday street riding glove. Racing safety guidelines mandate that all race gloves have Kevlar components.
Here is a list of things to look for in high quality motorcycle race gloves
- High quality Leather ( the highest quality race gloves have Kangaroo Leather palms)
- Carbon fiber technology on knuckle, wrist, top of fingers.
- Reinforcements for impact against abrasion
- Good ventilation
- Padding and impact shock protection
- Kevlar padding and overlays with reinforced stitching
Another good suggestion is to make sure the motorcycle race glove is made with C.E. rated components. “C.E. certified” means the product has been tested to do what it said it would do.
