How to choose the size

In this section you can familiarize yourself with equipment size tables.

For your convenience, not only European but also American sizes are presented, since many brands represented by us (for example Alpinestars) use several measurement systems.

To correctly determine the correct size:

  • Select the appropriate table based on your parameters and the equipment you are looking for.
  • Find out what measurements you need to take. In order to perform them correctly, refer to the image in the table, which shows how to correctly measure certain parameters.
  • Compare your data with the size table. If your parameters are between two sizes, consider the type of equipment you choose: if you choose a leather motorcycle jacket, remember that genuine leather tends to wear out; If you choose a travel model, check for additional linings that can make the fit tighter.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to take into account the fact that the fit of any motorcycle equipment may vary depending on the manufacturer, type of equipment and even model range. With the same parameters, two different motorcycle overalls can fit completely differently due to a basic difference in the pattern. Therefore, if possible, we advise you to always try on equipment before purchasing.

Types of motorcycle gloves

Motorcycle gloves come in leather, textile and combination types.

Leather motorcycle gloves are made of durable leather that is resistant to abrasion and tearing, which is the highest level of safety.

Textile ones are comfortable and versatile. Made from special durable textiles. They can be either very light for hot weather or have a warm lining and a waterproof membrane.

Combined motorcycle gloves have the best characteristics of leather and textile gloves. Genuine leather inserts ensure the strength and durability of the gloves, and textile inserts provide excellent ventilation.

1. Sports

Typically made of leather due to its resistance to abrasion, they have many plastic protection elements in the most vulnerable areas. They protect your wrists, palms and knuckles with protective inserts.

Often on such signets the ring finger and little finger are sewn together for greater reliability.

Hand safety in such gloves is excellent, but the lack of comfort is a drawback.

Tourist

They are made from leather, textiles or a combination of these materials.

These gloves have elongated, but at the same time compact in diameter cuffs, which, if necessary, can be tucked into the jacket sleeve. Such models are comfortable in any weather thanks to a waterproof, breathable membrane such as Gore-Tex, Drystar or similar.

Some models have a removable warm lining, which expands the temperature range of their use from cool spring and autumn to hot mid-summer.

Motocross and enduro

Gloves for multi-day competitions must be ergonomic and comfortable. They are often made from suede and other materials.

They are intended more for ease of management. Such models do not protect against damage.

Enduro gloves are made of leather or thick fabric. Equipped with plastic knuckle guards.

There are elements of motorcycle equipment that are quite complex in design. For example, turtles or motorcycle boots. It is advisable to try on such protection before purchasing, especially if the choice fell on a new model.

Motorcycle gloves are usually easy to choose by simply measuring your hand size.

To determine the size of the glove, you need to take a centimeter and measure the width of your palm, as shown in the picture:

Then we simply check the table.

Motorcycle helmet sizes:

To determine the size of a motorcycle helmet, you need to measure your head circumference. It is necessary to measure the girth along the widest part of the head parallel to the eyebrows. For a more accurate result, it is better to take measurements several times. Remember that helmet fit varies not only from manufacturer to manufacturer, but also from model to model: as with motorcycle gear, fit depends on the shell of the helmet and its interior. When choosing a helmet, keep in mind that you should not experience discomfort (unpleasant pressure on the temples, forehead or back of the head), however, a tight fit in the cheek area is the norm, since this part of the helmet is one of the fixing parts and tends to sag over time.

What should you consider before purchasing?

Seasonality and climatic properties

First of all, decide for what season you need motorcycle protection. Summer motorcycle gloves are usually leather and thin, not moisture-resistant, and most often they do not have a lining. Sometimes there are textile ones with inserts, but they are less safe than those made of leather.

Winter models are made of material that does not allow moisture and cold to pass through. They are longer than summer accessories, so they keep your hands warm and protect from the wind.

There are also rain motorcycle gloves made of thin plastic that prevent your hands from getting wet. Driving a bike in such equipment is not very convenient, since your hands constantly slip off the gas handle.

Level of protection and driving style

Motorcycle gloves should be chosen taking into account the type of riding, because each motorcycling discipline has its own characteristics and requires certain equipment:

  • motorcycle protection for the track will not provide adequate safety in motocross or enduro and vice versa;
  • sports gloves will prevent injury to your wrist, provide mobility and save you from fractures;
  • gloves for city driving and cross-country gloves do not provide serious protection against injuries; they are made of cheaper materials.


Usually leather and thin summer motorcycle gloves

Comfort

When purchasing, make sure that you are comfortable riding the “iron horse” in the equipment: nothing hinders your movement, your fingers bend freely, and the internal seams do not interfere. The gloves should fit your hand and not be tight, otherwise it will be difficult to control the motorcycle. If you are unaccustomed to it, difficulties may arise when manipulating your hands, but they will disappear over time.

Safety

Please note the presence of protective elements that will ensure your safety. Motorcycle gloves should not rub off on the asphalt or tear during the first wash. Thanks to a combination of various materials and protective inserts, they are able to absorb shock and also protect hands from stones flying from under the wheels, wind and cold. There are usually durable pads in the palm and knuckle areas, and carbon fiber plates in areas prone to damage.

Surface adhesion

The inside of the glove must be in reliable contact with the clutch and brake levers and not slip in any weather conditions. Losing your hand's grip on the controls of your motorcycle can end very badly.


Gloves should not be tight

Material

In choosing the material, the master is the master. Some people prefer leather motorcycle gloves, others buy exclusively textiles. Textile motorcycle gloves are attractive due to their variety of material combinations and ease of use in the summer months. Leather motorcycle gloves make your hands more protected, but textile gloves are lighter and breathe better. The level of leather wear is much lower, such equipment will last for more than one season. However, you need to take care of this material carefully; when washing, be sure to read the operating instructions.

Icon motorcycle gloves are in demand; they are lightweight, highly breathable and provide reliable protection.

Price

The key factor when choosing equipment is often its cost. The price of motorcycle gloves varies from several hundred rubles for a Chinese product to several thousand for a brand. Cheap gloves made of synthetics will not bring any benefit, so it is better to fork out and give preference to an expensive model made of high-tech material with the maximum level of protection.

Pants and shorts:

Size charts are approximate. Each motorcycle equipment manufacturer produces clothing according to its own patterns, and the table values ​​differ, sometimes quite significantly.

To choose the right size, our consultant will help you, who will contact you immediately after placing your order. All you need to do is take your measurements and report your height/weight.

All our managers have professional experience in this field and will be happy to help you with your choice!

Stand straight, arms at your sides, feet 6 inches (15 cm) apart. Your overall posture can affect the fit of your pants on your lower body. To ensure accurate measurements, maintain an even posture while taking measurements.
