Question 1

Do the Tom Sykes Kawasaki 2015 Gloves run true to size?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they generally fit true to size with a snug race profile. They are designed with a pre-curved palm and fingers for fit. Expect a closer fit than casual touring gloves. If you prefer a roomier feel, size up one size. Measure across the knuckles and compare to our size chart. Leather will relax slightly after a few rides. Check the product photos for fit examples pictured on a rider. Contact us if you want personalized sizing advice before purchase. Returns for exchange are available when a different size is needed.

Question 2

What protection features do these racing gloves include?

Accepted Answer

They feature leather construction with TPU sliders and rubber knuckle protection. Full-grain leather offers abrasion resistance at impact sites. Palm, thumb and finger TPU sliders sit on poly-foam backing. That layout reduces friction during a slide without overstating guarantees. Integrated flexible knuckles add coverage while remaining low profile. Wrist Velcro closures help keep gloves secure in aggressive riding. All seams use high strength nylon safety stitching for durability. These features suit riders seeking a performance oriented glove. They do not promise injury prevention or crash-proof guarantees. Use them with sensible riding techniques and proper armor layers.

Question 3

Are these Kawasaki gloves suitable for track days or street riding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, these gloves are built for both track days and street riding. Their pre-curved fit and TPU sliders favor aggressive control. Rubber knuckle protector has air intakes to manage heat. Palm and finger padding adds comfort during long braking efforts. Velcro wrist closures keep gloves in place under load. They are lighter than touring gauntlets but offer focused protection. For dedicated track racing, consider more specialized race gauntlets. For street riders who want sport performance, these are a solid pick. They match well with a leather suit or textile jacket. Always pair with other appropriate protective gear for safe riding.

Question 4

How does ventilation work in these leather motorcycle gloves?

Accepted Answer

Ventilation comes from rubber knuckle intakes and an exhaust port. These ducts allow airflow over the knuckles while riding. Small airflow reduces heat buildup without compromising protection. Leather construction limits breathability compared to mesh gloves. Expect moderate cooling on warm days and some heat on hot days. Pre-curved fingers and perforated liners help wick sweat away. They suit riders who want sport feel with controlled ventilation. For extreme heat, consider gloves with full mesh panels instead. Regularly dry them after rides to keep leather in good condition. Good ventilation extends comfort but does not replace responsible riding practices.

Question 5

How should I clean and maintain the leather gloves to last?

Accepted Answer

Clean them with a damp cloth and use leather cleaner sparingly. Avoid soaking gloves or machine washing to protect leather fibers. Gently remove dirt and let them air dry away from direct heat. Apply a light leather conditioner occasionally to prevent dryness and cracking. Do not over-condition; excess product can reduce grip on the palm. Store them flat or on a glove form to keep shape. Check Velcro and stitching regularly for wear and repair needs. If heavy damage occurs, professional leather repair is the best option. Following these steps will help maintain fit and function over time.
