- As promised, here's my comparison of the Scorpion SGS Mk II gloves and the REV'IT! RSR 4's. I then talk about some of the alternatives I considered.
I had a specific max price I was trying to stay under, while looking for features more common to gloves beyond that price point, so keep that in mind. By $200 or so your options expand significantly, by $350 you have a variety of race ready gloves to fit almost any hand. I wanted $150 and under, along with other requirements.
Gloves and our helmet liners are the bits of gear that see the most direct skin contact and sweat. They also have a huge influence on the enjoyment of our rides. I have five pairs now, if you include my super light pair and my winter pair. Even before I picked the RSR's as my fifth, I made a point of swapping which pair got worn, particularly if on the same day. That lets them dry out completely and recover a bit. Adding the RSR 4's lets me ramp up the protection on days when it's not super hot and gives me one more pair for the rotation. This is helpful when the humidity is higher and I end up making multiple rides in one day.

You always get what you pay for. You already know my brand of preference. lol.
I wish my sedici glove would fall apart. I have had them for 26,000 miles and I want to get new gloves but its hard fo justify when you have fully functional gloves. Ive even tried out other gloves near its price point and none of them feel as good so I've returned them. Im looking to get the Alpinestar gloves you mentioned as soon as mine do die and im hoping jumping up to that price point I will find a glove I like.
“It’a a production”…LOL
The gloves may fit better after a few hours of riding, but yeah, they are thick!
Unfortunately, you can't ride in them and then return them with Revzilla. I wore them around the place a fair bit and sat on the bike a few times, but the parts that bugged me were not improving. They did soften up slightly though. But putting them on with anything but perfectly dry hands was always a tug, tug, wiggle, tug production. If I could keep both I would, but if I was gonna spend $250 on gloves I'd have bought an entirely different pair. lol
@@Remymoto , wowsa, yeah for $250, one would hope they fit and work great!
@@rays9033 Well, that was the combined cost of the two I tried. My budget was $150. So if I'd kept both... If it wasn't for the TPU slider at the palm there are tons of great options, but that's something I really wanted to add. Most brands consider that more of a track or high end sport riding feature. It limits the options and raises the price point.
@@Remymoto I spent $299 on my shorties in a large and they usually take around a couple of thousand miles to really feel perfect. Initially really correct fit gloves should feel too small when brand new.
changing the subject a bit. are you still not running your faring on the 300r
Correct, it will go back on when the temps drop. Right now I want all the airflow I can get.
@@Remymoto thanks for the reply
The heat from the sun doesnt transfer from your gloves to your skin. Clothing is an insulator. Your hands get hot because you keeps your body heat in which is 98.6 degrees my dude.
Yes and no. The sun absolutely does warm things up, that’s why we don’t live on an ice ball. If you live up north it may not do much, down here? Very noticeable.
@@Remymoto There's a difference though. We don't live on an ice ball because the sun light is absorbed by plants and stuff and then the energy is released as heat. But with clothing yes you heat the surface for sure like you expect. But the heat isn't transfer to the other side that touches your skin because it's fabrics and learher are an insulator like the fiberglass in your home that keeps the cold in your house when you run your AC or the heat in your house when you run the heater. Only very thin fabrics like silk is thin enough to transfer heat that is absorbed to your skin. So pretty much black and white will heat the surface differently but they both will leave you feeling the same temperature on the inside especially in the summer. You will be hot no matter what color.
@@trsskater I'm not sure where you live, but here you can absolutely feel the difference. Not immediately, it takes time for the material to warm up or cool down. But unless something has VERY low thermal mass, you absolutely get heat transfer after a few minutes in the south Texas sun during the summer. Leather likewise will heat up from the sun and transfer that inward. Insulation slows the transfer. Low thermal mass materials hold less of the heat, but leather gloves and leather and polymer boots warm up pretty fast here.
You even said it yourself, "plants and stuff" well that stuff is everything that gets exposed to the sun. Some things hold more heat than others, but with very few exceptions, everything is effected.
@@Remymoto When you wear a blanket it also takes some time to warm you up to. Do you wear black in the winter to stay warm? The sun light still has much power but it doesn't warm you up. You actually wear thicker clothes for more insulation because your body is hot and in the summer you wear thinner clothes for less insulation so your body heat can be released. Otherwise a white long sleeve shirt would keep you cool because it's blocking all the sun from getting to skin. You have probably seen people in the middle eastern desserts wearing black as well. For them they need the sun to not touch their skin because the dry air and sun makes their body hotter. Also releasing heat and transferring heat is 2 different things. Like flame retardant items absorb and release heat but they don't transfer it to the other side which is also because they are very good at insulation. Metal is an example of the exact opposite. It's does the same heats up and release heat but it also transfers it to the other side. Insulators don't transfer heat as where conductors do even though both absorb and release heat to the same side that heat was absorbed. If an insulator transfers heat to the other side then it's because it was heated beyond it's thermal capacity and color doesn't make a difference because the material is what determines it's thermal capacity. In Texas your ambient temperatures get so high the air is just hot in general so you'll be hot not matter what you wear again color makes no difference there. But believe it or not for motorcycle gear black is cooler because black so emites its heat faster than white does so it cools off faster especially with air flow like when you are moving. But in general the clothing that will keep you the coolest is the one that allowes you to sweat because that's how your body stay cool, well besides going back inside to wear the AC is. Haha. There has been a study on this because of people that live in deserts that wear black. If you care to see I can drop the link.
This is the dumbest thing I've read in my life.
