1. Just right.
I’m somewhat new to the Racer brand, coming from Alpinestars and Furygan. My short/wide hands make finding appropriately sized gloves difficult, but the Racer XL sizing seems to be spot-on for my bear paws.
I purchased a pair of the High Racers for track use, and loved them so much they became my primary street gloves as well. The protection and fit were top notch, but the joined pinky and bulky armored areas were a bit excessive for sport touring on my S1000XR.
Then I found the Multi-Top 2 gloves. Nearly identical aesthetics, with slightly less bulky armor, a bit more insulation with a waterproof layer, and a separate pinky. These gloves still have the substantial and well-built feel of the High Racers with a bit more dexterity and ease of use. They were exactly what I was looking for. The fit and finish are excellent.
On a side note, the communication and service offered by STG were great. These folks know how to keep a customer in the loop and do the right thing. Thanks!
