Summer gloves
Conclusion

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
The pre-requisite for a good summer gloves seem to rank comfort and ventilation right up there with price and protection, in fact I have seen many people complain about how stifling their gloves are in hotter weather (if you can remember what that is) - well not with these, they have comfort and ventilation in spades... I was genuinely impressed at how good these gloves felt on my daily rides, in summer especially they did exactly what they were supposed to. Highly recommended. |

The KBC Force RR helmet is a nice mid-priced helmet for those of you on a budget but looking for a well established and reputed brand, fit appears to be good and ventilation for warmer days is certainly up to the mark, the paint finish is of a good quality and if you are looking for unusual graphics you will find them within the range available. Road noise is quite high when the going gets good but earplugs are generally recommended when wearing a helmet anyway. In terms of safety it seems to hit the mark quite well, a double D-Ring strap is standard fitment and the visor seems to be secure, it is also worth mentioning that removal of the visor is a simple task. For the money the KBC is certainly worth a look in. |

Put simply, these are a fantastic boot when on your bike, the level of protection is incredible and the comfort is among the best I have ever tried. In terms of value I guess they are about on the money for the level of the boot but are paying a premium for the Alpinestars brand - nonetheless you get a high quality product in return for your investment and a boot you can rely on for a good number of years. The only blemish on these near perfect boots is the squeak caused by the ankle armour which I am afraid does get annoying if you are out in a crowded place - I do my shopping on the bike so walking round a supermarket in them is very embarrasing. The squeak however is just not a big enough gremlin to warrant the SMX-PLUS boots dropping any kudos in the review as they more than make up for it in every other area but they do lose a star as the problem could have been better thought out in the design. |

Ventilation wise these gloves are king, I have found no other glove that is as consistantly as airy and comfortable in hotter weather, this though is in my opinion where the gloves fall down. My set started fraying and bobbling within a week of use and not really particularly hard wear either, on the palm sections it became clear that with just a little bit of speed and a stretch of tarmac underneath them they would not hold up to an abrasion test that well. That said I have since noticed that Joe Rocket have redesigned these gloves entirely and they look to be of a more durable construction, if they offer a similar amount of comfort in the heat but increased levels of safety (and that includes peace of mind remember) I would be more than happy to give them a try. As for these gloves it appears they are discontinued and no longer available to buy anywhere which might just be a good thing. |
