Sizing Information
These gloves are consistent with the major American based brands we carry such as FirstGear, Tour Master, etc, so hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you are between sizes, I’d advise choosing the smaller.
If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.
Our Two Cents
I’ll give these Latitude XT gloves high marks for their oh-so-plushy interior, and also for the softness of the insulation material. They’ll be a good choice for everyday use in winter, and when you expect to get them wet. On the scale of most warm to non-insulated, I’d give these about a 6.
While I said these would be good for the everyday rider, keep in mind that this is a “price point” glove and so the quality is on the lower end of the scale. The build quality and materials seem pretty good, but the “cut” of the gloves is kind of loose and not something I’d call “sport”. They are just OK in that department. The impact protection for motorcycling is near zero. The shell materials (textile and leather) will give some slide protection, but the knuckle armor is very insignificant and there is no armor in the palm.
Like I said, a pretty nice glove for everyday use for somebody on a budget, but don’t expect a really nice glove at this MSRP level. :: Paul, 12-14-15
