Royal Enfield Roadbound Ce Certified Riding Gloves Black S 20Cm with Knox and SPS Protection and Excellent Ventilation, Cycling, Polyester;Leather;Thermoplastic Polyurethane

I've had older RE gloves for years, and my long-standing complaint has been that their quality isn't up to the mark in the long run. My previous pair wore off in a year despite light use.These, unfortunately, came with a great deal of promises that they fall flat on. They're CE certified, have Knoxx protection, and all the other bells & whistles but... They just don't fit well enough.The thumb flexibility is so little that you cannot switch the indicator without taking your hand off the handle. You can't turn the ignition on without taking your palm off the accelerator.RE can't seem to get their act right. It is a shame as so many of us want them to fix some really simple things. The design is amazing, and the quality of materials is top notch too. Just get your basics right, will you?

The size guide is a little off, it suggested L but that was too small, exchanged it for XL which is a much better fit.Has good protection overall, the knuckle protection seems good and is comfortable compared to having hard knuckle protectors. The fingers are touch compatible as well. The SPS sliders on the write don't get in way as I had imagined, and I hope never to have to test them out in a crash.It's not well pre-curved so it took a week of wearing it to properly fit the hand. The ventilation is not good though, the mesh is very limited and over long ride or if it's sunny / hot your hands will get very sweaty. Also the velcro closing on the wrist is rather lose.

Tight on fingers hence uncomfortable, but decent quality.
