Review on 🧀 Kemimoto Waterproof Winter Motorcycle Gloves for Men - Hard Knuckle Protection & Touchscreen - Red, Medium Size by Jeremy Meyer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor fit and even low waterproofing, better not to wear gloves at all

I tried these gloves and knew from the start that they weren't worth keeping. First, let's talk about quality. The material feels flimsy and cheap, and the stitching is mostly single. They have a few "grip" areas on the rubber which are nice but don't really add anything. They are only applied to a few places in the palm of your hand. The tips of the thumb and first two fingers are covered in material to make them compatible with phones, but they're so large you can't easily click a single icon. On the back of the gloves are "plastic" pads for the knuckles. I say plastic but it's more rubber than protection. They are mostly decorative. The bracelet clasp is pretty cheap. With a 2x glove you think it will open further. It opens so wide you can barely put your hand through. Landing suffers from this problem. The thumb position is in the wrong place for easier access to the switches on my motorcycle without changing hand position. This problem is exacerbated as the length from palm to finger increases. The length of each is too short, so when you press the bar it pulls the tips of each finger inward and you feel the stitches just under your nails. Wind protection and water protection - complete nonsense. I did a light spray test with a gloved hand and no water pooled on the surface. I then tried to dip just my fingertips in the water and got soaked almost instantly. I then immediately held them in front of a fan and felt the wind right through them. I knew I was going to have problems after this test and on the bike they were even worse. In 50 degree weather at 35 mph they were no different than my perforated summer leather gloves. Not what you expect from winter gloves. These are cheap gloves and I wasn't expecting them to be Fox or Alpinestars but at least on par with decent winter gloves and they are disappointing in every way.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
