The Olympia gloves got me through my rider-training course and my collection of motorcycle gloves has grown ever since. For the past few years I have been using Rev’It!’s Monster gloves, and while they have served me fantastically, they are about ready for retirement. Rev’It! is going to have quite a few summer gloves debuting this spring that will prove to be excellent options for anyone looking for some new mitts.
For 2014, REV’IT! has updated versions of two of their staple gloves in the men’s lineup as well as introducing two all new offerings for warmer weather. The Bomber is an updated version of my beloved Monster gloves while the Dirt 2 replaces the Dirt. The Roadstar GTX and Vapor H20 are two all-new waterproof summer options for the rider that does not let a little rain stand between him and two wheels.

The REV'IT! Bomber Gloves set itself apart from the Monster with increased airflow, flexibility, and protection. Airflow is upgraded via extra perforation at the fingers and palms while simultaneously increasing protection with the addition of a palm slider. Stretch ridges were updated on all fingers but the pinky and elastic was added at the wrist to help the glove move more naturally. The Bomber is a short cuff glove with a combination goatskin and synthetic leather shell, TPU knuckles, and finger armor. This glove is my favorite all-arounder, as it fits perfectly with literally any bike in my garage.

The Dirt glove is another staple in Rev’It!’s lineup which is getting a facelift for 2014. With better impact protection, increased airflow and tactile sensation as well as a connective finger tip for use with touch screen electronics, the REV'IT! Dirt 2 Gloves are a no brainer for current fans of the Dirt glove. TPU hard-knuckles, PU rubber palm sliders and finger armor keep your hands safe from even the most aggressive dual-sport rides. Ventilation panels were increased at the fingers, thumb, and back of the hand to keep you cool in even the most extreme heat. Handle bar grip and feel is second to none with an air stretch mesh and goatskin outer shell with stretch panels in the fingers and upper hand as well as a grip patch on the palm. If you are looking to upgrade protection for your next adventure, and need a glove that can handle whatever might come your way, the Dirt 2 has you covered.

REV'IT! Vapor Gloves Review:
Motorcycle gloves have a special significance for me, as they were the first piece of gear I acquired when learning to ride. What my parents did not know as they gifted me those birthday gloves is that I had already signed paperwork on a brand new Triumph Bonneville T-100. I had made arrangements with Hermy’s Triumph up in Port Clinton, PA to store the bike for me until I completed my MSF course. Nine years later I still have that Bonneville and she has taken me on some of the best experiences of my life.
Anyone who rides a motorcycle, regardless of shape, size, and style, can appreciate the magic that comes with traveling on two wheels. Whether you are heading back and forth to the office or taking a coast-to-coast, 4-week romp, there is a bike out there for you. Rev’It! has done a fantastic job of creating offerings to suit any riding style or ability. Whether you have been riding for years, or you are just starting out on your two-wheeled journey, there is no substitute for proper safety gear. I would recommend starting with your gloves.
