REV'IT! Jerez Gloves

Awesome Race Glove

I just got my set of Jerez gloves this week my hands are in-between a small ad a medium in short cuff gloves but I always wear a size small in Race gauntlet Gloves because I believe that Racing Gear needs be as snug as possible for optimum protection and in the case of Race Gauntlet Gloves a Race snug fit is vital for the best feel on the Bars and controls the REV'IT Jerez race gloves in a Small are a perfect fit with perfect finger length unlike some other makes I have used before I have shorter fingers on my Right hand then on my Left Hand, they are also some of the most comfortable Race gauntlet gloves I have ever worn with very little breakin required if you are looking for Pro level Race gauntlet gloves that are worn at MotoGP level the REV'IT Jerez Race Glove are some of the best bang for your buck out there and I will now be looking into buyin more REV'IT Race Gear in the future.

MotoGP protection

I ordered these gloves because I was very happy with the fit and quality of the REV’IT Kelvin’s I bought for my winter gloves. I have a wide palm and (relatively) short fingers which makes buying gloves tough as most pairs that fit the palm leave lots of room in the end of the fingers. For example if I buy A-Stars XL they are the right length but too tight in the palm and the 2XL’s leave too much space at the end of the fingers. For this reason I love these gloves. They were tight at first (meaning they fit but I could feel the armor digging in uncomfortably in places) but I spent a few evenings wearing them while watching TV and making fists to break them in (maybe 3-4 hours) and they were mostly broken in by the first ride. The pinky armor took a bit longer to break in but after logging about 6 hours on the bike they seem to be broken in as well.

They do have a tight throat, surely to help keep them on in case of a bit of palm surfing on the asphalt, and the cuffs are a bit small (as the REV’IT’s are known for) but they make it around my jacket cuffs (even if it is a bit close). On the bike they have great feel and I have noticed no pressure points or “hot spots”. The build quality seems very good but that’s based on me as a consumer – I know nothing about glove manufacturing but they seem very well made. And the fact that Randy de Puniet wears this glove racing MotoGP adds a bit of a comfort level as to the build quality.

The lizard likes....

I disagree with the reviewer who suggests these gloves require a long break in period. They don't. Or at least, not for me. Wore them around the house for a couple of hours, wet the fingertips, dried with a hairdryer on high. They now fit....wait for it...like a glove. I demand perfect fitting gear, and these do just that. The reason for the wetting/drying is that my fingers are a little shorter than a "normal person", and I don't ride unless I can roll a cigarette with my gloves on. As for the rest, these gloves look dope, are well crafted, and have solid protection. Highly recommended...

BUY IT

Looks and feels awesome! Get a size bigger tho, i measured as a medium and returned it, the LG fits perfect. Cant go wrong, i wear it on the street.

Very Snug Fit Requires Significant Break In

My hands are a nomal size 9 and that's the size I bought. (I'm 6 ft and about 180 lbs at present) This glove is an extremely snug fit needing significant break in time.

The primary purposes of a race glove are protection and control feel so the snug fit shouldn't be a surprise- a glove that can move around on ones fingers detracts from precise feel. And racers aren't generally porkers!

Specific comments about the fit are
1) Tight finger sizing. If you have fat fingers you may not get them into the glove that would be your size by normal measurment.
3) Tight wrist entry. Yes, this glove has a strap at the wrist but the opening is so small that unless you have a normal or small fist again you will not be able to get your hand into the glove that is the proper size by normal measurement.

Examples of a break in issues- the hard protectors over the knuckles are so snug initially that it hurts to simply curl ones had onto the controls. So plan to flex and stretch these a bunch before you commit to a ride with them. I have not yet been able to comfortably wear these for more than about 100 miles because they aren't fully broken in yet though they've been flexed several hundred times and worn for 5 hours. I put them on and take another pair with me to change out when they become uncomfortable. I expect another few hundred hand flexes and maybe 500 more bike miles before these are comfortable and YES they are my correct size. Its the snug fit that is the issue here.

The large, stiff cuff is very flexible in relation to the hand portion of the glove and does not in any way hamper movement. Its a nice design. However, its clearly made to go over a race suit( duh!) and is only barely adjustble enough to close over a typical textile summer jacket sleeve (eg the Rev'It Turbine that I also use).

The external seam and tight finger fit delivers the promised control feel and the fingers and back are reasonably well vented.
Itsnot hot enough yet in NC to tell how these will feel in our hot humid summers but I expect they will be typical for a vented leather glove. In short, tolerable but there would be cooler choices for very hot weather.

Depite being a race glove, these still leave the point of the major wrist bone unprotected against pavement impact though the thick cuff nearby might offer some protection in a less than direct hit.

Summary- This is a well made, very snug fitting race glove with some nice design features. It needs significant breakin. It could be improved with some better design of protection features and additional venting. I gave it 3/5 because I believe most users will not enjoy the process of breaking in this glove. Don't even thin about it if your fhand is even slightly pudgy.

REV'IT Jerez Gloves

I've bought 6 pairs of gloves in past 2 years all high-end. The only 2 that fit perfect is REV'IT. The workmanship is excellent. I have long fingers and like to use 2 fingers on controls, these fit and have looks to kill for! Excellent!

Buy these gloves. You will be glad you did.

These gloves are worth the money. They fit great (very little break in) and the protection seems first-rate. (I have not crash tested them.)

They look good, and the black is subtle. If you want more show with your go get white or white/red. Gloves are easy to put on and take off, and the gauntlets are adjustable to the point that they will fit over my large-cuff leather jacket without issue.

My only issues were with fitment, but that's my hands being oddly shaped, not the glove. I have a size XL palm measurement, but short fingers. Price was very fair for a glove of this quality, and protection is good, so I gave it 5 stars.

If I had to do it over again I'd buy two pairs to check fit, then send one back. It's a minor hassle to carry the balance on your cc but it's worth it. Note that the glove will stretch a little as you break it in, so keep that in mind when you're choosing a size.

The best glove on the market

I measured my hand as a size Large. But the sales representative suggested that I order a size XL which I did and it was perfect!

Two sizes....

Do you mean two sizes too small? The gloves seem to run small imo.

Jerez Gloves

Amazing Gove!
Former Racer now riding track days I used this glove for the first time a few weeks ago...since the first double weekend of riding the glove has broken in perfectly.
Most comfortable glove in break in and overall feeling/ lever and grips I have worn...When it comes to your safety in riding a motorcycle I buy the best I can afford as to replace my skin costs allot more. To save a few dollars on the protection of the body part that usually hits the ground first in my opinion is not an option.
I dont care about name brand...unless its the best...I want quality and craftsmanship and a company who stands behind the product like revIT!
With 27 years of riding experience they say there are two kinds of riders...
those that have fallen and those that will.
I want to ride again . RevIT Leathers ( I wear the amazing TT full piece suit and protection equipment is thus far the best I have ever worn dollar for dollar.
