We're at the Zig life duel love our classical style motorcycle gear and it
seems so does Royal Enfield they've got a huge selection of gloves jackets bags
pretty much the whole shebang for those who like their retro modern
motorcycles now whatever what with me right here is the new streetborn glove
from Royal Enfield and it's been designed for someone who thinks that
wearing a full length glove for daily use is a bit too cumbersome now this is a full
leather glove Royal Enfield say is that this in 100% percent genuine leather all
around and available in two colors this for more retro tan and of course this
all black but we think the tan one looks much better than this black one right
here if you look at the glove it looks fairly simple it doesn't have those
typical technical bits and the plastic arm uh that sticks out on the knuckles
on the fingers but it provide a fair amount of protection at the same
time if i speaking of protection is actually got a hard plastic predator on the
knuckle right here but it's actually under the leather so it feels like an
actually part of the glove and even your finger joints have these foam productors
on top so in case you happen to crash a note with a hand down it'll absorb
a bit of the impact but again those two are under the leather so the whole club
sort of looks pretty uniform now for scaphoid protection it's got an extra
patch of leather on the palm with a bit of foam underneath so in case you happen
to crash with your palm heading down it will absorb some of that impact if you
look between the index and the thumb you have this extra piece of leather but
that's not so much of protection that actually because this part of the glove
scenes a lot of abrasion on the controls of the motorcycle and the extra bit of
leather on the palm as well to give you a rough grip on that controls but in the
protection that's pretty much it yes it might be a full leather glove but
it is completely perforated whether it's on the palm or even on the top of the
leather so when you're riding even in the hot conditions there's a fair amount
of air going through and it's fairly comfortable to use even on hot days I
have had this glove for the last few months and we've had a few hot days
here in Pune and it's been pretty good in those conditions in terms of the fit
of course got a pretty large wrist enclosure with a pretty beefy piece of
velcro that holds the whole thing together on your wrist and it's also got
an elastic bit on the wrist to keep the wrist sort of narrow and it ensures that
in case of a crash if the glove catches it won't get pull of your hand easily so
and that books are really really well I will say one thing though that if you're
buying these gloves you might need to size down so normally I wear XL in
most gloves but in this one I went for the L size it was a little snug to
start with but because it's full leather it did open up nicely and now is just
the most common thing in the world so if you do want a pair of these I would
recommend going into a store and trying them out to see which size fits your
hands the best other than ordering them online honestly these are very very
comfortable and for daily use these work really really well but it's not all
sunshine and rainbows your because there are some things that are missing from
these gloves for example we think the protection for the scaphoid could have
been a little beefier at least thicker foam on the pump to have to absorb that
impact a lot better and speaking of more protection we wish
there was something more on the thumb measure because sometimes in a crash you
can end up holding your hand this way and thus no impact your thumb and it
helps you have some protection there and of course some more protection for the
pinky finger would have helped as well but honestly those are only real
complaints about these streetborn gloves which are priced at Rs is 3300 they
can be picked up either online on the Enfield website or we can walk into any RE
store across the country and pick up a pair of these honestly if you're looking
for a pair of gloves that work really well for daily use in the city and i
like that classic styling i don't think you can
than the pair of these Royal Enfield Streetborn gloves
