Rukka Virium Gore-Tex X-Trafit Gloves

I bought these for a few weeks of touring in Vietnam and Thailand during rainy season. I've tried a variety of other gloves in the past for these types of trips, and was never happy. These Rukkas were great and I'm completely satisfied. They kept my hands dry through countless rainstorms. I wore them in combination with a rain suit that kept water from running down my arms and into the cuffs. The weather was really hot but my hands were not burning up. These gloves are good for hot weather. (I've tried leather gloves before and they were uncomfortable in hot weather). The gloves get sweaty though after long days. I typically rode 7-10 hours a day. They are durable, with no stitching coming out so far. Seams are all still tight. They did well in a minor crash. I slid a short distance and the palm slider that was in contact with the ground protected my hand. My only complaint is that the lining sometimes pulls out with your fingers. And when I try to put my hand back in it takes some work to get the fingers in the lining to line up with the fingers in the outer glove.

Pros
waterproof
not hot
good protection in crash
comfortable

Cons
line pulls out when you take them off

I don't write many reviews. I think the truth is that people are compelled to write when either a product is awesome or awful.

Right out of the box, these gloves are awesome. Good looking, great protection across the knuckles, fingers, palm, and wrist. Nice design with the fingertips that can use a touch screen. Good and grippy on my bike grips. Good fit, albeit slightly small. They should break in to being the perfect size. My hand, measured around the knuckles is 8.25 in. I ordered the size 8. Wind and waterproof in a driving rain.

Highly recommended.

These gloves are fantastic! I love them. They are a wonderful 3-season vegan option. I'll be wearing them pretty much year round in Los Angeles, but I also have some Alpinestars Spartan gloves for hot weather riding.

The only downside was that I had to end up ordering these Rukka gloves from a different company in the UK. I ordered the black ones (which are shown in the photo as having some grey on the cuff), but RevZilla sent me the hi-hiz ones — twice! It was a little frustrating, but RevZilla handled it well. They didn't charge me for return shipping, and they refunded everything.

In the end, I actually found that they make these gloves in all black (without any grey on the cuff at all). So I got an even better color for my tastes. Best of luck to you in the game of color roulette for these gloves!

I was initially worried these were too small. But they broke in nicely after a day of riding.

They keep me dry, and relatively comfortable in hotter riding. They didn't keep the hands particularly warm in colder weather, but definitely dry.

The gauntlet is nice to go up over my jacket and flow wind over in colder weather. And it's small enough that I can open up the jacket and let air thru if it is warmer.

I miss these gloves. I left them on my moto trailer and they are now lost on the side of the road, with some hitch hiker now enjoying them without knowing, probably, what they are really for!

I have had these for about 5 months before I got caught in the rain. They are a little short on the fingers but not to the point of discomfort. Great fit and good protection. When I got caught in the rain (steady almost heavy rain) the inside of the gloves were soaked in under 15 minutes. My pair was not waterproof at all. Revzilla was excellent in dealing with my issue. Once they received my gloves they issued me a full credit. Now I need to find a good pair of waterproof gloves.

Only used once, I like the Look and feel is good, but the middle finger is too short for my hand. When gripping the handles after riding 30 minutes tips of both middle finger hurts.

I live in the Seattle area. These GoreTex gloves with a long cuff are perfect year around. There is no insulation. Thus in winter I add a thin liner and, along with handlebar heaters, they are comfortable. Great style. Recommend.
