Review on ๐Ÿงค Indie Ridge Powersports Motorcycle Gloves: Lightweight Carbon Fiber Racing Gloves for Mobile Touch Screen (Size Large) by Carson Zoberman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic quality at a great price.

I've recently returned to motorsport after many years without motorcycling, so I needed gloves for warmer weather. I bought another pair first and they quickly ripped while I was wearing them. Not wanting to just swap them out for another pair, I went looking again and found these Indie Ridge gloves. They looked amazing, the price was reasonable and the reviews were good. I usually wear oversized gloves but I used their sizing chart and my measurements were too small for a size XL. Which was good because it was one of the few sizes they stocked. They arrived in very high quality packaging. The gloves came in a cotton mini-bag inside a thick, translucent plastic sleeve. Very good. As soon as I took them out of my small bag, I immediately noticed the care that went into the design and construction. They looked like very expensive gloves. Yet again. Very impressive. I put them on and they fit perfectly, so from that perspective, although I usually take large, their sizing chart was accurate. So I decided to go for a walk with them. I first tried using them on my iPhone Xr to set my destination using the Maps app. Since I was wearing a helmet, I first had to enter a passcode to open my phone as FaceID wasn't working. It took me a few shots, but I couldn't believe how well the touchscreen worked when I was wearing gloves. The gloves worked very well with the phone. My trip was great. The gloves let in just the right amount of air. It wasn't hot - about 140 degrees - but my hands weren't freezing. Later that day it was 80 degrees and they weren't heating up. Exactly the weight I was looking for. One issue I had with my previous short-lived gloves was that for some reason I had trouble engaging the clutch properly. It was like the fingers on the glove were too short or something because nothing was working properly. With these gloves my fingers can be stretched properly and shifting and braking are smoother and more natural. It's like not wearing gloves at all. I rode 130 miles in them that day - no complaints or problems. Today I put 70 more on them and they are still amazing. These are fantastic gloves. I can't guarantee durability as I only received them 1 day ago, but they seem to be very well made and really worth every penny. Feel free to buy them. And use their size chart and measurement instructions. Be safe and enjoy the ride. I know your hands will be comfortable when they're on you.
