Joe Rocket Supermoto Gloves

By Anonymous from Philadelphia on 07/07/2008

Pros: Streetable, totally possible to shove in a pocket when you go in a store. Look great, vent pretty well, feel sturdy.

Cons: For some reason there seems to be a big seam on the pinky finger, on the inside, and it often gets hung up on the ring finger when I am riding. It's not a big deal it's just a "why the heck would they put that much of a stitch right here?" type of thing.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Size large in every glove I wear, and these fit fine in the same size.

Comments: Great glove. Only covers from the wrist down (for reference), it's not intended to be a race-level protection glove, so if you want more look elsewhere. For a simple street glove that will cover... (Read the rest of this review)

Pros: This is my second pair of Joe Rocket gloves and as with the last time very comfortable and perfect length fingers. Nice shape and very soft leather so very comfortable when riding.

Cons: Wrists are very tight to get on but once on very comfortable.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: Fits perfect around hands. Very comfortable.

Pros: Good protection for a light all-weather glove. At least all-weather where I live.

Cons: Wish it had a bit more wrist protection and a way to close the knuckle ventilation, but that's just nit-picking.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Pros: They fit well, cost was not prohibitive and they seem to have all the protection where it needs to be. I would recommend them to anyone.

Cons: The only drawback I see to these gloves at all is that the fingers were about 1/4 inch to long. I have small hands for a guy and especially the pinky finger is jsut a little to long. Not enought to make me dislike them.

Sizing Info: Fits true to size

Additional Sizing Notes: The gloves fit a small bit snug out of the box but loosened up perfectly when worn a few hours. The vents work well for cooling the hands a bit. The stitching is comfortable and the closure feels good on the wrist. They feel great on which means I will wear them all the time and they look killer riding down the road.

Pros: For me these fit great, I like the materials used and the venting is just enough. The price is also, I feel, in the realm of the acceptable unlike some gloves which can cost a small fortune, especially as gloves are a wear item. The placement of protection is just right too, especially these short gloves still having a good sized wrist bone pad. My last comment is the construction is good with even spacing of the stitching. I've had gloves that tore with no actual contact with the ground while my previous Rocket gloves protected my hands great in a fall and were barely marked.

Cons: The styling is probably not to everyone's taste. I've seen other manufacturers gloves I like the design of more but that's not my primary reason for buying them. The typical Rocket racing gloves have the stitching on the fingers externally which is a great touch but these supermoto gloves have conventional internal stitching in the fingers - doesn't really bother me much but it would have been nice if they were external stitched as well.

Sizing Info: Other

Additional Sizing Notes: I bought size XL. Basically, if you know which brands fit your type of hand you stick with them, and Joe Rocket fits mine. I have fairly large hands but more importantly, long fingers. it's a tiny bit loose in the palm but you never want too tight a glove.
