Shift Racing Women’s RPM Glovewritten by -- February 24th, 2009Filed under: Essential Stuff,Gear | Comments (2) |
Hi everyone. Today, I’m reviewing the RPM glove sponsored to us by the good folks at Shift Racing. These are short cuff-style gloves made from both leather and textile.

What I like about the RPM glove is that it is specifically fit for women – no more baggy fingers, no more unfilled fingertips, and no more loosey goosey fitted gloves. How is this accomplished? Well, the gloves are cut for more slender hands and the sidewalls of the fingers are pre-curved and made of Lycra (a stretchy fabric in case you don’t know) that accommodates every nook and cranny. This all translates to well-fitted gloves.

Additionally, these gloves are pretty darn comfortable because they’re well padded in areas most needed such as the bottom of your palm. They’re made of lightweight material with vents so you won’t be stuck with sweaty hands. The top of the hand features a nifty accordion stretch panel to allow for flexibility so that your hands don’t feel constrained to a certain position. These gloves also offer knuckle protection and additional padding for fingertip protection.
All in all, these are a great pair of gloves to have at a reasonable price. They’d be great for warmer days but you might want to consider a different pair for colder days.
All righty…until next time, ride safely.
