The Racer Guide 3 Glove is short cuff, ventilated glove worth considering adding to any gear closet. Perforated leather at the fingers and back of hand provides airflow, while armor and palm sliders deliver safety in spades.
A favorite among adventure, sportbike and touring riders, the Racer Guide gloves are even approved by professionals like the California Highway Patrol.
The Guide 3 gloves feature a palm built from a combination of goatskin and Clarino, highlighted by patented Knox SPS palm sliders for maximum slide-ability. See the video below for a pretty no-nonsense explanation of why this is important to consider.
The gloves also have TPR protectors on the fingers and across the knuckles. TPR stands for thermoplastic elastomer – fancy squishy rubber that’s flexible and protective, and the same used on Lee Parks Supermoto gloves.
FEATURES:
Note: Racer is an Austrian brand, so there’s a bit of Euro chic to the fit. If you’re between sizes, pick the larger size.
