Great fitting comfortable riding gloves!

My second pair of Racer gloves... love the first pair (Multitop Short). This Pitlane is nicely made and comfortable, EXCEPT the left little finger is not sewn with as much space as the right little finger. So on a 1400 mile trip, the lower knuckle on my left pinky got pretty sore. I think all will be well after a good stretching.

I bought a pair of waterproof winter Racer gloves 9 years ago and have been impressed by how comfortable they were and how well they wore. When I needed a new summer set of gloves I checked out the Racer selection. I chose the Pitlane gloves as they seemed to have the best protection. I frequently have to travel high speed motorway miles, so I wanted good protection. The gloves are very well made with zero issues on delivery. The gloves were a bit stiff at first, but broke in after a few hours use. They are as comfortable as my winter Racer gloves already. There is good airflow to both the finger and palm areas. Way better than my previous BMW summer gloves. I hadn't realized they had touch compatible finger tips which was an added bonus. So far I have worn them from 50F to 90F. At 50F you have to keep your fingers together to minimize airflow, but they were fine for a 30 minute trip. I would buy these again in a heartbeat, and have no problem recommending them to someone who wants comfortable, well made gloves.

Best gloves I've had. They fit exactly as measured, medium. Look great and provide good grip and feel on the controls. One thing, the pinky finger of the right hand glove had, what I thought was some excess material in the tip. Uncomfortable and distracting. When I finally had enough I dug it out. Was surprised to find a small dessicant bag probably placed there to minimize moisture damage. Gloves now much more comfortable. Highly recommended.

Received my Pitlane gloves 3 days ago and love them! I had never even heard of Racer Gloves until a few weeks ago when Ken Condon told us he was testing out gloves from Racer. Thought I would give it a shot as my new Motorcycle inspired me to replace my old gloves. I normally wear XL but saw they run a little small so I went w 2XL and they are a perfect fit. They do cost a bit more than most gloves but definitely worth it! Very well made and extremely comfortable.... I am a big fan and highly recommend them!

The most luxurious and comfortable summer gloves I own. The supple palms thoughtful stitching make these gloves the perfect warm weather companions.

My second pair of Racer gloves, these fit perfectly and are of excellent quality and design. Best fitting gloves I've ever had; I'm right between an M8 and Large, and was glad to have gone with Medium/M8. Designed to fit the natural shape of the hand in its relaxed postion, and non fatiguing, with protection where it's needed. Great Gloves.

Great gloves, super comfortable, great quality feel. I wish they had touch pads for phone use, but other than that they couldn't be better.

These gloves fit me very well. I purchased them specifically to wear during hot weather. We've been in the midst of a heatwave so I have been able to put them to the test. They have been comfortable and (relatively) cool. I would recommend them to anyone looking for something for hot weather riding. They look pretty cool too!

LOVE these Pit Lane gloves... 2nd pair and they have become by "go-to" for any bike I'm on.

I hate to say this but I’m not happy with these gloves. I measured my hand per the website instructions. That calculated as a large, which I ordered. Too small, so I ordered the x-large to do a comparison. Trying both on, I noticed very little difference in size between the large and x-large. But I kept the x-large because they seemed just incrementally bigger. Sent the large back, paying postage. Went for my first ride with the x-large and realize they’re really too small - I can fully extend my fingers and the finger webs don’t fit all the down into the webs of my fingers. Plus, some of the finger ends have weird stitching or fabric remnants that bind and irritate the ends of a few fingers. So, really it’s the sizing and construction I don’t like - I thought they were made in Europe, but nah it’s China - but I like the design and look.

Quality materials and fit. Quite comfortable after short break-in. Good protection. Good ventilation.

Michal A.

Very nice and comfortable. Looks safe; hope to never check this.

I’ve owned a couple pairs of the racer summer gloves and at this point they really work for me. They are cool lookin and comfortable and the air flow is good. My only complaint with this glove is that there is some stitching that’s already coming apart after only about 2 weeks of use. We shall see how long it is before it really becomes an issue but for a pair of gloves at this price point I’m slightly disappointed. Other than this issue I would love this glove.

The fit and comfort of this glove is second to none!!

Must Have Glove ok now I hate wearing gloves when riding my Ninja 1000 but you need them. I have a box full of gloves I don't wear because they are too stiff and I can't really feel the controls. I decided to go with the racer gloves and boy I have been missing out. I mean absolutely no break in needed with these. If you are looking for gloves look at these. No they aren't winter riding gloves but they are hands down the best gloves I have ever owned. And I have gloves that cost $400.

Size Chart

Helpful Tips - Please Read:

The size chart is a general guide and is not exact to every hand. The limiting factor is the larger measurement of either your palm or finger length.

For reference, the hand in the size chart measures, 9.5" palm width, 7.5" finger length and wears a large in all but 1-2 styles.

NOTE: If you are a man and have small hands, a women's size glove will not necessarily fit. A women's pattern is different.

If you are unsure of sizing, please send an email with your measurements and which glove you're interested in for a recommended size.

Step 1 Palm Measurement

Place your dominant hand lightly on a table and using a flexible measuring tape, measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point. The widest point of your palm is just below your index finger knuckle, to the mid-point between your pinky knuckle and wrist. (See photo 1)

Racer Gloves Size Step 1

Step 2 Finger Measurement

Measure from the tip of the middle finger to the base of the palm where it meets the wrist. (see photo 2)
