Racer High Speed Gloves

Overall a very nice pair of well made and protective gloves. size appears true to the size chart. I bought size large which according to the size chart is good for a hand that measures 7.5 inches from finger tip to wrist. My hands measure 7.6”, so I knew going in the gloves might be a touch short in the fingers. Middle, index and thumb Fingers are indeed a touch short for my hands. For reference my middle finger measures 3.4375 inches from base to tip (ring finger side) and 3.625 inches from base to tip (index finger side). My thumbs measure 2.5 inches long and the gloves are also a touch short in the thumbs. The pinkie finger in the gloves has extra room which does not bother me. Internal seams on the top side of the fingers get caught up in my fingernails. This would probably not be noticeable except that my fingers are a bit long for the gloves. External seams would have eliminated this issue, though they don’t look as nice. I have taken one 90 mile ride in cool dry weather and all issues related to finger length are already improved. I suspect they will fit quite well after a few hundred miles. Five stars For protection, materials, and construction. Minus one star as these are only CE level 1 which is disappointing considering the price, and armor. These have Knox palm sliders on both medial and lateral aspects of the palm which is excellent. The lateral slider is an “L” shape which contacts the throttle. It’s not particularly obtrusive, but for street use, consider moving one glove down Racer’s lineup to the High Racer which has a rectangular lateral palm slider that has less chance of contacting the throttle. Overall I am happy with the purchase, and with the service from STG.

Wore these one track day and a few times around town. Stitching has completely come undone exposing my finger. Emailed the company and they told me they would sew it back. Not exactly the answer I expected for the one year warranty and price. Learned my lesson and I do not trust these now. I will definitely just buy another brand and move on.

Dollar for dollar, this is the best glove made.

I tried on the local assortment and could not find anything that I liked. Ordered these dead on my measurements and they are dead on. Super happy with my purchase and the best gloves I have ever had.

My last gloves are the BMW RR and Alpine GP Pro R3 XL. The R3 didn't last very long, ripped on the palm with normal use. the RR are great, very thin just bit small since it was gift. The HighSpeed is XL and might be slight big, measuring 9.25"C and 8.5"L. MY issue with gloves are that the seam ends up right between the finger nails. Quality is great. The wrist strap can come out of ring which was not case on others, will re-review in few weeks

Love these gloves! The fit from the size chart seems right on. These gloves are extremely comfortable and the leather is very soft. The grip and dexterity with these is also very good. These are my new favorites by a long shot. Thanks STG

Great gloves. First pair didn't fit right and had to return but process was painless with STG. For measurement I used flexible dressmaker tape to measure finger length. When first pair didn't fit went back and measured again. As I was checking size noticed that picture showed a tape measure for finger length. Using that instead of flexible tape changed length by a 1/4 inch smaller and next size down from what I originally ordered. Small detail but made a difference in my case.

Everything I expected for the price. The size chart put me between a medium and a large. I went with large. Snug like I hoped. The leather will stretch to fit. The armor is in the right places. I hope I never need to test it. I was in a 70 mph accident in 2019 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I walked away because of my protective gear. I these gloves are would have reduced the injuries my knuckles suffered. Great product!!!
