REV'IT! RSR 2 Gloves

I've owned this pair of gloves since the beginning of April 4/9/15. I have used them 5 times. The palm stitching ripped on my latest ride. Total hours the gloves have been in use is about 10. I'm highly disappointed in this particular build quality from RevIt. I've owned gloves from them before and they're still in better condition after 4 years of use. For these to wear that easily after 10hrs of usage is pretty terrible. This is the first bad product experience I've ever given. I will attempt to exchange these for a different choice in that price range if they'll allow me. (Philly Location)

These are seriously everything I want in a glove and nothing more. You have the full gauntlet in a light glove with a hard palm slider and hard knuckle protection. The leather is a decent quality and the price is decent for what you get.

Unfortunately, the price doesn't reflect the quality. On my first pair, my left hand index finger had all of the stitching fall apart after 1 week of commuting to work. I returned them to my local REV'IT! dealer and got a warranty replacement pair. After riding with those for a month, doing normal commutes and some ADV riding, the stitching on my right hand index finger gave out. This is pretty unacceptable and makes me wonder how these gloves would actually hold up to a crash.

Also, one feature it could really use is a squeegee for your visor, as I used that all of the time on my $80 Icon gloves that still have not fallen apart after 15,000 miles of use. Airflow could be slightly better too, but for the most part it's ok.

Really disappointed with these gloves because my expectations were high. This isn't the only REV'IT! gear that has fallen apart on me with normal use...

The gloves looked fantastic and felt even better. Perfect fit, excellent leather. When I put them on the seams on the left glove immediately split open in between the thumb and the index and on the pinkie (see the photos).

Looked around the Internet and found out that quite a few people complained about stitching quality. Out of interest tried contacting REV'IT just to get their comments. See their answer on the screenshot. Compare it with how some other manufacturers care about their customers.

The RSR2's are my favorite gloves of all time. First of all the Blk/Fluo Yellow color not only look great, but the color is quite visible. The kid next door was cutting grass and I started flashing the gloves. As he approached I asked him how visible they were. He said "he spotted them all the way from the end of the yard with ease". That's about 5 car lengths. I find this to be an advantage because I am used to using hand signals. My other bike was not equipped with turn signals so I am trying to get the feel of push button signals. The gloves are well thought out. Allow me to start with the top of the fingers. Small padded protection, nice leather with stretch panels. Extra pinky layers. Top of knuckles has carbon cover. Hard, very protective and comfortable to boot. Stretch panel behind knuckle guard. Padded Velcro wrist enclosure ulna protection. Underneath Velcro micro adjustment. Hard Palm slider and padded scaphoid protection. Double layer palm. These gloves are the most comfortable race gloves I have ever owned. While they might be a stretch for track use, they are a great street glove. The air flow is good for an all leather glove. I find the hard slider very important because I went down wearing studded palm gloves and my natural reaction to put my palm down while they slide along the pavement. They worked and the hard slider of the RSR2's should work even better if called upon. My last gloves saved my hand and fingers and the RSR2's are a more advanced design and should perform even better.

I picked up the these because my previous experience with Rev'It fit and feel. I choose this model because the RSR2 is one of very few gloves in this price range to offer: Full gauntlet, palm slider, a velcro wrist strap and good air flow. I've been very pleased with them so far and they are breaking in nicely. Keep in mind that this new RSR2 is closer to US sizing, so step down one size from what you may have worn in an older Rev'It glove to maintain the same feel.

I really like the gloves, but I will start by saying Rev It's sizes are all over the place. I have a pair of Fly 2 gloves in XL. These gloves are just barely big enough. I kept them since they are single layer leather, I can stretch them out. They fit great now. I ordered a pair of Striker 2's and the XL was absolutely massive so I returned those. The XL RSR 2's had a good fit everywhere but one place- the left thumb. The first pair I got had 3/4 of an inch of extra leather on the end of the left thumb. If it had been the right I may have just dealt with it but because it was on my turn signal hand, no way. Ordered a second pair and these are good, but still just a bit bigger than I would like. But I know I would never fit into a large. Rev It needs to get it's sizing and QC under control. It's all over the place. Should be expected with Chinese manufacturing I guess. I love Rev It gloves tho, so if you're able to, order two pairs and return the one that doesn't fit. These gloves are absolutely great for the money. Just below track level protection for a very fair price. The gauntlet is small enough to wear inside or out of your jacket. I really dig these.

Bought these after my alpine stars wore out. These were right in my price point and I have to say I may never go back to another brand. The finish and quality are great, the fit is a little snug but leather stretches, look great in white, have great feel and protection without feeling bulky, maybe not a track glove but great for daily riding and commuting.

It took just a day or two to to transition from my previous cortex gloves (cheap $30 ones) to a thinker and sturdier glove. These gloves seem to allow my hand to have better circulation so they rarely fall asleep anymore.

I've be n riding with them in 45-55 F* temps. For the most part it stops the windchill on the upper portion of your hand. The Palm end of my hand was definitely a lot colder. 1 - due to the different material. 2 - has air ventilation. With this being said, I'm able to commute 2 hours back and forth in this weather without my hands turning into icicles.

I wish I could review this product in higher temps (winter just doesn't want to lift..), but I'd assume they'd work perfectly fine with the air vents on the palm end of your hand to keep it cooled.

All in all, the gloves work great! Worth the investment. Great protection, comfort and airflow.

Bought the Rev'it Chevron 2 gloves last summer and loved them except for the cheesy half gauntlet. I was lucky they have an upgraded model with a great full gauntlet. The RSR 2 gloves are near identical and have all the same protective features as the Chevron 2 plus a very nice, 2-strap gauntlet that looks good and fastens easily. They tend to run a tad tight, but a little conditioner cream (inside and out) and a couple of rides and they broke in fine. The little finger required some Neatsfoot oil (not compound) to stretch as it was quite tight. Materials are quality and armor very good. The jury is still out on seam quality... stitching is fine so far. Hard to combine protection and durability ratings so went with how the Chevrons have lasted..no issues. Protection seems top notch. Comfort is very good, but not great.
Price wise, these are a big jump up from the Chevron 2, but in my estimation worth it for the far better gauntlet.

These gloves feel really nice. However, everything nice about them is eclipsed by the fact that it feels like putting my pinky in a vice grip. None of the other fingers fit tightly, just the pinky. I get that this finger needs more protection, but put it on the outside. I cant even bend my hand around the handlebars because of this.
