Racer gloves are the best fitting gloves that I own. From YSR50's to ZX14's , my Racer gloves protect as they should.

This is my second pair of Racer high racer gloves. I really like the subtle changes from my first pair. Looking forward to many miles in the new pair.
Mike B.
This is my 4th pair of High Racers. This new pair feels much more already-broken-in than my previous pair, but I'm going to go through the break-in process anyway, with an initial application of beeswax and wearing them around the house throughout winter season and continuing to wear my 3rd pair at least until the fall season is over.
Totally satisfied with the new High Racers!
Salvatore R.
Love these gloves, this is my third set in many years and I'll keep coming back! They hold up really and they crash nicely too. Super comfy, not too thick but offer plenty of protection. Can tell they're built well. Never had a stitch come undone or any issues
Lance L.
Love these gloves. Break in is pretty quick. Great that the cuffs fit over the sleeves of my touring jacket. They fit teue to size, and are very well constructed. I will use them on an upcoming cross-country ride, looking forward to see how they perform.
Charley S.
Great quality gloves. My first long gloves after close to 60 years of short gloves only. I’m right at the max for XL across my palm and these are snug getting on and off. Finger length is perfect. Snug when riding but not too tight. I imagine they’d work in with more miles. I highly recommend these gloves.
Charley
Great fitting gloves. I am at the upper limit of XL for my palm but have short fingers. My middle finger is just shy of the glove finger and the palms are snug but I’m certain they will stretch as I continue to break them in. Quality it top notch.
David W.
I was looking to buy Dainese gloves but could not find a pair that fit. I had to return 3 different pairs. Someone recommended Racer Gloves, so I tried a pair. Quality of materials, design, and manufacture is superior to the Dainese gloves in the same or higher price range. And best of all, the fit is excellent and they are very comfortable. I'm a happy customer!
Darren S.
I surprise myself that I would spend this much money on a pair of gloves. They are probably above my level of riding but I thought, if they save me from some preventable pain, injury or loss of work after a spill, they will be worth it. Upon receiving them, I could tell these were well made and of high quality. My hand measurements were identical to the hand in the website sizing chart so I ordered a Large. I did think I had longer fingers than that hand but it turned out they fit perfect. At first, putting them on I thought, there won't be any break in period. But there is. I started by wearing them on a couple short rides to the store and I wore them while walking the dog around the neighborhood a couple times. Two more longer afternoon rides and they are pretty close to being fully broken in. I had some pinch spots that were not pleasant but were not unbearable. Those have gone away. They are great looking and I'm getting used to the "feel" of my hand grips and controls on my bike, with these thicker more protective gloves.
My only complaint is, the gauntlets could be a bit larger around. They 'just' fit around my jacket sleeve, able to attach the velcro strap by only a small bit. I'm afraid that after some age, and the velcro wears, it might not be enough to hold it secure.
My overall opinion is: These are high quality, professional grade investments in your safety.
Robert M.
On my third pair so that says it all. Comfortable right out of box and have great protection although I haven’t tested them yet and hopefully never have to. Only gloves I’ll ever buy.
Charles B.
My reasons chose the High Glove:
Instant comfort and fit
High (longest) Gauntlet
Real Carbon Fiber
Cooling elements
Silicone inside grip!
Form and function (safety) appointments
Look great
Easy on and off

I race in the AHRMA Vintage Road Race Series. I have been using the Racer Gloves for years and recently replaced my last, well used pair with a new set.
Couldn't like them more! Perfect fit, comfortable right from the first use and the protection is fantastic.
Wouldn't want to race with anything else.
Bob B.
My 4th pair of racers and I love them all. Great product!
Troy L.
Best gloves I have used in 30+ years of riding, fit and feel is top notch with no break in time. Customer service is excellent. Will buy again!
Brian K.
Seem very high quality snug fit, haven't worn yet bet can't wait
Gary T.
3rd pair in 10 years and over 100,000 miles. Comfortable from the first day. Fit for me has been perfect. Highly recommend.
Lee M.
My gloves don't fit. It's unfortunate, since they're made really well and have protection in all the right places. Well ventilated, too. There just too restrictive for track use, tiring to wear, and limit my dexterity.
I measured my hands/fingers per the website and determined that I have just under 2XL length fingers with a Large palm. There weren't any options for custom fitted gloves so I split the difference and ordered XL, my logic being that too large of a palm could bunch up and cause a "stuck throttle" moment, which is the problem I've had a couple of times with my old Teknik gloves. With everything I read about how supple the Racer gloves are and seemingly everyone buying them able to break them in, I ordered a pair of High Racer gloves and eagerly awaited their arrival. Based on how they fit and the break in advice given, I had confidence I'd be able to break them in for a perfect fit.
I spent two months trying to break them in by wearing them on my daily commute. Still, the gloves are much too tight on my fingers for track use and the seams inside the ends of the fingers feel like they're going to pull my finger nails back. Maybe I would order a 2XL if I felt like risking another $250? Maybe the 2XL the palms would bunch up? I don't know and I don't want to waste another $250 to find out.

Referred by Gray Area KTM in Eugene, OR. These are the best “feel” race gloves I’ve ever worn. Right out of the box, wore them in evenings for a week or so before first track day with them at Ridge. Phenomenal feel and comfort.
Sam L.
The best gloves I've ever owned. Top quality leather, armored in all the right spots, and once I got the right size they fit perfectly. The only other thing I'd want is touchscreen capability, but these are meant to be track gloves so it's understandable why it's not here. Excellent support as well, easy to exchange for the right size. Racer is now my go-to for any future gloves as well.
Jason S.
I'm quite happy with my purchase. These are really well made.
Corey C.
I've been wearing Racer Gloves for 10 years and would not wear anything else.
Shalmarie W.
These are my second pair of the High Racers and I LOVE THEM! I got tens of thousands of miles on the first set and looking forward to getting many years out of these gloves. As a motorcycle instructor, having high level protection is of up most importance to me and these gloves provide that protection that I'm looking for. After protection, the next best thing about these gloves is that they feel really good right out of the bag! They are well worth the money! You can't put a price on having the best protection possible!
Victor K.
On my second pair of High Racer gloves now - love them - just the best. The fit is awesome. Wont ride in anything else!
Austin L.
Racer Gloves build confidence with their safety features and afford immediate dexterity. They felt broken in out of the bag, and after a few laps were molded to my hand. Far better than the the other big brands I've used.
Jon
Can't recommend these enough
These gloves are absolutely fantastic and you will not be let down by them.
I purchased them from STG about 6 years ago and have put about 30k miles on them. I've been through multiple thunderstorms and one small accident where I was rear ended and put my hand down on the ground when I fell.
I owned Knox Biomechs before and tried out similarly priced gloves from Dainese and Alpinestars when I was looking at these. The Racers were the most comfortable by far. Their claims about them fitting perfect out of the box and not needing to be broken in are 100% true.
Their protection is excellent: kangaroo palms, hard palm sliders, hard protection on the knuckles and wrist, and a joinder between the pinky and ring finger are all of the protection you would want to see in any glove.
They have held up phenomenally well. Their only "failure" is that the grip pad on the right index finger eventually came off about a year ago. This wasn't really an issue since there is still Kangaroo underneath it. Otherwise, all of the seams are solid and the velcro straps are still holding strong. Meanwhile, my Knox gloves started to come apart at the finger seams after about 3 years.
To me, there are two telltale signs that I have found the perfect gear. First, I don't think about it or notice it when I'm riding because it fits and functions perfectly. Two, I don't think about it when I'm not riding because I feel no need to upgrade to something new/shinier/flashier.
Christopher U.
American made, arrived from OR to FL in a week which is good via USPS, I ordered an XL per sizing and the fit is tight and offers great control. I find the pinky finger a tad too long but otherwise I recommend them.
Steven C.
This is my 5th pair of Racer Gloves. None better I have tried several different brands and always keep coming back to Racer. I have a pair of very high end gloves from another company that I have never worn. When they came in the mail I tried them on, and that was as far as they got never even wore them one time. So I have a 350.00 pair of gloves I have never worn or will wear. Told my buddy about Racer gloves now he has a pair and said he will nothing but Racer.
Michael J.
I have a very hard time finding gloves that work as my hands are slightly different sizes, left vs right. Usually the knuckle protectors fit perfect on one hand, but are slightly off on the other. This causes pressure points. And pain. I have returned gloves over and over, from $100 pairs to $300 pairs. Fit is a common issue for me.
These fit superbly. The padding between the knuckle gaurd nd my knuckles prevents the pressure hot spots. I can wear these all day at the track. Amen!
I even crashed twice last weekend racing in the rain. We were on minibikes at night in the rain. So not such a demanding purpose. But you cAn’t tell by looking at them. They look completely normal.
I ride at the track regularly, at least one day a week if things go my way. So i go through gloves once or twice a year. I am in Texas and 100+ degree days are common. Perforated gloves are a must. I also go out of my way to seek gloves that are not black to try and stay cool. The ventilation here is less than I would prefer, but better than most. Since most have zero perforation.
I will buy another pair of these again next time with no hesitation. It would be killer if Lee decides to step up the ventilation though. It is the only shortcoming I see.
David Nguyen
Best Gloves
Time for me to order another pair. I have gone through 2 pairs already and can't see myself using any other gloves except these. It's comfortable right out of the box with no brake in needed. These are the only gloves I use for both street riding as well as track days. Crash with my other two pairs and it held up great and was still able to use it until it got too old. Love these gloves...
Devian Gilbert
best gloves out there
I bought a pair at least 2yrs ago, and I wear them every day. I'm of the mind that I don't want to skimp on hand protection, so I wear them every time I'm on a bike, month long tour, on an adv bike, etc. I don't care. I know what its like to hit the pavement, I know what its like to end up slamming my fist or palm into the ground, all those typical impacts, and to various degrees over the years, gloves, or whatever ever it has been... somehow I've come to know what happens when you come off a bike even at 30mph.
These have been the best gloves yet. I'm now onto my 2nd pair in about 3yrs of everyday use, and I'll probably end up buying yet another pair when the time comes.
Keenan Moi
Time for another pair
2 years later, 10,000 miles, 6 trackdays, 4 crashes...and the gloves are still rocking. Not a single stitch out of place.
Fit & feel are the best in the biz. I've (literally) tried them all, and I always come back to my Racergloves
FRANK MANSFIELD
High racer glove
I use the specified Hand chart it was spot on great feeling gloves and feel controls plus Safety!
Awesome fit and finish and detail very nice material. You will not regret getting up pair!
Toke Nygaard
First glove
This was my first glove. I bought this randomly and find myself going back to this every time even though I’ve tried many other expensive gloves down the years. Dainese, Rev-it, Knox. Fits very well, not too bulky and you trust that it will do the job.
Sal Rizzo
Easily the best race gloves on the market
Been loving these gloves! Super comfy and really tough. Took a minute to break them in (patience!) but once they were, they've been perfect for a good 2 years now at least. I've *ahem* crash tested them a couple times, and they've held up very well (still riding them!). The gloves are comfy, have good grip, and the Racer support team is awesome. Enough said
Cam
Impressed!
Just ordered my high racer glove model in white , I have used my buddies for a few track days then realized I had basically stolen them lol , I have worn every brand and model out the with sponsership or ambassadorship and I think my new fav✊
Marcus Wallen
Reassurance straight out of the box
I have been searching for a pair of gloves that will give me safety, style, performance and the latest tech. I never heard of Racer before and was after a pair of Handroid Knox. But from visiting a motorbike store and speaking to Sports Bike Sport UK, I was recommended to look at Racer. I am so pleased I was told to do this and as soon as I put the gloves on I smiled.
They feel great and will give me the confidence that if the worse happens and I fall off, they will give me the best protection. Great price and you cant put a price on your personal protection but I am very pleased I bought these gloves. They look awesome on also if you are also wanting to think about the aesthetics.

High Racer Gloves
Good workmanship. Snug fit for me but fine after break in. I don't notice them while riding which is the best thing one can say. This is my second pair so I know they last years,
Ryno
Best glove Ive owned
Ive been riding for almost 20yrs, and I used to work for a brand that made reading gear. This is hands down the best glove Ive ever worn. The fit is perfect, the leather is incredibly supple, and the kangaroo palm is awesome! I definitely recommend this glove. Great value for the price too!

Crash protection
Design offers great protection and after my last 2 crashes I can attest to that! Not to mention outstanding comfort :D

Best gloves ever worn
WOW!!! I am a 56 year old rider with 200,000 + miles of sport-touring the roads of Northern California. This past Christmas, I was gifted a pair of High Racer gloves from a couple with whom I ride whenever possible. I have never worn better gloves in my entire life. The safety features instill confidence, and so much has been written about them that there is nothing I can add that most people don't already know, or surmise. I want to tip my hat to Racer for that, of course. However, two other areas i would like to comment on stand out and MUST be hailed as well: comfort and warmth.
Kangaroo skin takes no time at all to break in, and provided one's hand size is a good match, the fit (in my case large) is extraordinary and they wear like your first summer slow dance with a lovely California woman in an raw silk dress. The fit and smooth comfort of these gloves immediately impart the very Zen experience of feeling "one with" them. I felt no pinch, no bind, and no compromise of blood circulation whatsoever. I'm still shocked about that! The choice of materials could not be better - AND - the "married" ring & little finger at once provide added protection to both fingers, while barely being noticeable in terms of dexterity. WOW.
Not only do these gloves provide legendary protection and extraordinary comfort, they block wind and keepre your hands warm like no other glove I've ever worn (and they are too numerous to list here). I tested them on two night rides in the "Gold Country" foothills with temperatures in the low to mid 30 (F) range. I ride a BMW r1150rt and I have never felt like the heated grips were worth much, UNTIL I paired them up with the "High Racer" gauntlet gloves - NOW I find the combination so good as to be almost beyond description. Again, the gloves don't bind or pinch, they screen the wind blast perfectly, and they pair up with heated grips like nothing I've ever worn. WOW!!!
I have no hesitation at all in saying you won't find better gloves, anywhere. They stand out, because they ARE outstanding. CHEERS!!!
Ron ahlstedt
Great gloves
I've owned many brands of gloves from companies you would recognize. The High Racer glove is by far the most protective and comfortable gloves I've ever owned. The fit is great my thumbs on many other gloves are jammed and tight. Which is no good on long 8 to 12 hour rides. Now my new Racers gloves I've only wore once yesterday on a eight hour ride through the mountains of N.C. and N.Ga. My thumbs felt great as did the rest of my fingers and hands. I'm a GoldWing rider that tours much wearing full riding leather and an Helite air vest. I believe in protective gear. I wish I would have discovered Racer gloves sooner.
MadtownMaxx
Very Nice
Great gloves! I've got about 2000 miles on them; commuting, weekend blasts and one long (1600 mi.) trip. Fit; per size chart (my hand = 9.25" circumference, 7.5" long.) = Large - initially snug but perfect upon 400 miles of break-in. Proportions (finger length, width) are the best I've experienced.
Superior to my Held Airstreams these replaced; more protection, better fit, better initial quality, thicker leather yet similar 'feel' on controls. Less ventilation but still decent. More similar yet still superior to Held EVO Thrux I tried.
I removed the silicone gripper pads on left finger tips to make these touch screen friendly. Yes, I'm probably under-utilizing these gloves intended purpose as my track days are behind me but they work well for more mundane cycling and why not have this level of protection given the comfort is still so high. Ride: BMW K1300S
Cheers,

John
The best!
What a great glove! The quality is top notch and I have no concerns about wear or craftsmanship issues. I waited several months to review these gloves to see how they would hold up. They are the most comfortable and flexible motorcycle gloves I own by far and they were like that out of the box! They seem super safe and the various protectors seem optimized to absorb impacts. Also, the rubber grips works with my touchscreen which is awesome!
Gawain
High Racer Gloves
These are good...very, very good. I've owned a lot of gloves over the last few decades and many pairs which were designed specifically for the racetrack. Protection has changed a lot over the years, and the High Racer seems to reflect the latest thinking in that regard.
The gloves have all the features you'd expect from a top-quality race mitt, with the extra abrasion protection, webbed outer fingers, outside seam for great feel, and a large opening for the gauntlet area to accomodate the ever-thicker race suits.
The Knox palm protection was different than anything I'd encountered to date. At first, I was pressing the outer protector into my palm, which was uncomfortable, but I quickly learned that by repositioning my wrist just a bit, that "bump" gave me more leverage on the handlebar. If you are accustomed to a glove with a soft, flexible palm protector, you'll want to make this adaptation, but then, that's the evolution of a great race glove.
They break in pretty quickly, have enough finger length to accommodate most hands, and give reasonable comfort for street rides. I will say that these days, if one is looking for an all-day glove, don't buy a race glove; they are purpose-built for maximum protection and shorter stints on the bike. The trade-off is in comfort over the long haul. But if you want the maximum protection available, this glove comes in at a price point and quality level that is outstanding.

My Favorite Riding Gloves
After Klim's Induction gloves fell apart after three months, I was in the market for a comfortable, warm-weather, bomb-proof glove. The High Racer was on my radar after Roel's (mytickettoride.com) recommendation. Since I'm local, I setup an appointment with Lee and he helped me find the right fit (2XL).
It's been a year and the gloves have been amazing. They feel like a second skin; allow me to feel the controls; and, surround my hands/wrists in unobtrusive armor. Whether riding upright on the KTM 950 Adventure or laid back on the Victory Vision Tour, the High Racers make my hands feel at-home on the controls.
NOTE: I wear silk glove liners and rotate them often.
Dennis Parrish
Big hands - big gloves - FINALLY
I've been riding and racing bikes for over 50 years, and am still roadracing. I'm not little at 6'4" and I've been wearing gloves for decades that only felt good after a long while of 'breaking in' - also known as stretching. The problem is that it strains the glove's stitching and they never lasted long. I bought the 3XL gloves and couldn't be happier. They fit, they're comfortable, and after a season of racing they're still like new. I bought another set to use as street gloves during the summer. These gloves are fantastic! Buy a pair - you won't be sorry.
Shreyas Kousik
Forgot They're On
I've been riding with these gloves for two days now. It took about an hour of putting them on, taking them off, and flexing them for them to break in. Now they fit, well, like a glove. It's certainly a little harder to feel the controls through the leather, compared to my textile Joe Rocket gloves, but I'm pretty sure I won't lose a finger in these if I go down.
Viet Tran
Supremely Comfortable
I recently moved to NYC from California and grabbed a bike to explore the northeast. I'd done a fairbit of racing and tracking out West and knew when it was time to buy a new pair of glove I'd checkout Lee's gloves at Racer Gloves USA. I gave him a ring and he suggested the High Racer Gloves, I then did a quick measurement and ordered a pair. They arrived super fast, right in time for the weekend, and I figured I needed a few hours of "break in" to get the leather nice and supple, but I was shocked at how immediately soft and supple the gloves were! They're supremely comfortable right from the start. Stitching looks to be solid. Armor is also confidence inspiring. The one big standout compared to my previous racing gloves (Held Phantoms) was the lack of firm wrist support as the High Racer opts for an ulna reinforced armor instead of the fully stiff wrist support the Phantoms had. I don't think it'd be an issue, but more of a difference in design. I've done a few weeks worth of riding with them and they're definitely the most comfortable gloves I've had a chance to try. Next step is to test them at the track!
Steven Kane
Awesome Glove
Like every Racer glove that I've had on my hand ( 4 pair owned ) these fit fantastic. My last pair of track gloves were the Sucuro's that I loved but I had a hi speed lo side that wore down the palm sliders. Great thing was my hands never even got warm. Back in my racing days I would have been out for a long period waiting for the skin to heal. The Hi Racer has more protection and even better feel at the controls then the Sucuro's which were a great glove in their own right. I don't think I'll ever need to look further than Racer glove's for hand protection in all my riding arenas.
DaveA
Worth the investment
Ever since my favorite race gloves became unavailable several years ago, I've been on the hunt for a worthy replacement. I've tried several top tier gloves, and I either had fit issues or the protection wasn't up to snuff, or both. These, on the other hand, are keepers. Very comfortable, solid protection, and very good build quality.
Doug Snyder
Best gloves I've ever seen!
I was shopping for race gloves, having fallen off (both street and track) and broken wrists. I know first hand (!) that I DO put my hand out, despite what my higher brain is screaming at my lizard brain. So I need gloves with lots of palm protection, and some rigidity, padding there to keep the pain and numbness at bay while riding. I don't race anymore, though may someday, but I've seen enough on the street to know I can go down anytime. I called RacerGloves to get an idea of which model would suit me, and spoke to a gentleman there, but forget his name. He too had fallen and broken wrist, but still races, because he's a man. Anyway, we had a nice conversation, and he assured me that the race gloves all have good palm protection, and that I should try the High Racers first, being least expensive. I ordered that day, and they arrived 2 days later.
The gloves give an instant appearance of quality: theres some heft too them, and examining the intricate stitching, the number of pieces of leather and plastic, it's amazing that the gloves cost as little as they do. The proaction in the heel of the palm gives some rigidity there, so it spreads out the weight on my hands as I ride, which is exactly what I wanted. I've never had a crash where I flopped around so much that I used the knuckle protectors, or at least I never wore them through. But EVERY pair of gloves I've crashed in has had the palms ripped up. With the sliders on the High Racers, I'm confident that my palm, in the event of a crash, will slide, rather than bind on the asphalt and tear. Nice. They fit my hands near perfectly. I have sort of stumpy thumbs, so that's a little long, but all gloves fit me that way. They're super comfy, and I'm much more comfortable riding now, knowing that if I do go down, and stupid lizard brain takes over, I won't (likely) be having discussions with hand surgeons about how little use I'll have of various digits. Great stuff. Cool people who know what they're about. Buy, ride, relax.

I love this glove. Very comfortable and great protection during a crash--I found that out the hard way unfortunately.
Bob Harvey
Fantastic Gloves
Fit true to size, love the palm sliders for protection. I also purchased the R-Safe gloves 2 months earlier, and compared them (one on each hand). The R-Safe does not have the small vent holes along the fingers - and I actually could feel the cool air as I rode today in the hand that had the High Racer Gloves, but not the R-Safe (which I will keep for colder winter temps).
I am at the larger end of medium, both gloves have perfect finger length. The Racer gloves fit well in every way. The R-Safe is also a medium, yet fits a bit tighter.
Lee mentioned that the High Racer Gloves have a bit of a different cut than the R-Safe, not as snug.
Mike Bacon
Brand new user - gloves were great!
My new High Racer gloves were broken in earlier this week at Yamaha Champions Riding School in Southeast Arizona. I'd ordered & bought them the week before, and after receiving them I put them on and made a fist a few times. Because my right thumb is enlarged at the base, thanks to arthritis, the right-hand glove takes longer to put on and remove. And the left glove's wrist closure takes a bit longer to close, because it binds in one place on it's guide. Small issues. But after two long days' use on an R6, they fit very well and feel comfortable. Grip is very good and, while protection is very important to me, that has yet to be tested and I hope things stay that way! I'm hoping that these XL High Racers will last two seasons. 5 stars!
Ralph Hudson
Great gloves
I have been road racing vintage bikes. This is my third pair in about 5 years. I hate to admit it, but I have had tested the quality through several get-offs and have never had any hand injuries or abrasions. I find the flexibility to be very good, easy to ride with.
I highly recommend Racer Gloves!

Perfect Fit Awesome Gloves !!!!
Love the gloves, one of the best fitting gloves I've ever worn, and fully functional in case IT happens !!! Thanks !!!

Awesome fit, incredible comfort!!
I have crashed and can say these gloves are without a dought the best gloves I have ever worn and I think over the years I have tried them all. If you race or do track days you need to spoil yourself and own these gloves. I wanted anew set so this time I bought 2 sets!!!

Sharp, sturdy racing gloves
Racer gloves are soft and comfortable but don't let that fool you, the durability is incredible and hold up very well and last longer than any other glove I have used. I never have had pinched issues or hand injuries with the attached finger design. Great product... will buy again and again.

These gloves are fantastic. The build quality is top notch and they fit perfectly. Would recommend to anyone who wants a quality set of gloves.

High Racer Glove
I ordered the High Racer glove after a friend on a motorcycle forum gave them a glowing review. I was impressed with this glove the moment I put them on my hands. The fit could not have been better if I had them custom made and the design and construction of the gloves is excellent. These gloves feel nearly broken in right out of the package. I really like the carbon fiber knuckle protection and the kangaroo palms allow for very good feel of the controls. In the past I have always worn Held gloves which are also a very good product, but these Racer gloves are definitely my new favorite, and well worth the money spent.
Jon
Great Quality
Lee was very helpful with my questions over the phone and had them shipped out the same day. The glove itself fits great and is extremely comfortable. Worth the investment.

Amazing fit and finish, with supple feel right out of the package. Can't believe I've been riding around with less protection.

Best gloves I have ever owned
I was looking for gloves that were more comfortable than my Alpinestars GP Tech's while offereing similar protection. These Racer gloves fit that bill to a T. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Fantastic Gloves! Hard to find Workmanship this good at any price
Had a great experience with Lee Block. I just stepped out of what I thought were a nice pair of Alpine Star Gloves. Boy was I wrong! Next to my Sidi Vortice Boots these Racer Golves are hands down the best piece of protective equipment that I own. Excellent fit, minimal break-in period and well made all around. Wishing I had bought a pair years ago. Lee Block and Racer Gloves have me as a life-long customer.

Best fitting gloves out of the package I've ever bought.
Really high quality, excellent customer service, a product I'm now not sure I can ride without.

My favorite gloves that I go to first.
I love these gloves. The fit true, they are comfortable and I don't worry about them when riding. They just seem part of me. I will not buy non-racer gloves in the future. They have me as a brand loyalist until they aren't around anymore.
Great gear!

Really Good Gloves!
I'm kinda picky about gloves but heard some good things about Racer and decided to give them a try. I was looking for gloves that offered good protection and comfort that I could wear on the street and track. I followed their sizing charts and the fit was perfect. After a short break-in they feel great. These are my new favorite gloves.

Like a Second Skin - Outstanding Gloves!
Great gloves. Exceptional feel and superior protection. Very good airflow for those warm days. Love the kangaroo leather. These gloves are top of the food chain.

Awesome Street / Track gloves
After using my "FOX" mountain bike gloves for years on the street I decided i needed more protection. After talking to Lee he recommended the High Racer. Initially they were a little stiff but after a couple street rides they feel great. I went ahead and tossed out my old gloves and will be wearing these gloves for now on!

Comfort, Protection, and Style
I've never been excited to put on a pair of gloves until I got a pair of these.
These gloves feel like they were made specifically for my hands. That means a lot coming from me because I have long fingers and average sized palms. The fact that these gloves come in a wide array of sizes is a solid indicator that Racer cares about making quality products for the average rider, not just the sponsored pros.
The gloves have protection in all the places you'd want it. Knucles, palms, wrists and fingers all have slider protection. Having recently crashed in a different brand of gloves and watching them decintegrate. I knew that my new Racer gloves would last me a long time as soon as I put them on. Quality material (leather and hardparts), quality fabrication (stitching and fitment).
I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

You Must Buy A Pair....RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
The fit and comfort of these gloves are the greatest features. Don't be fooled by your first impression. The first time I put them on they were a little tight and stiff, but having used Racer Gloves in the passed, I knew they needed time to brake in. Once these glove are broken in it feels like they have molded to my hand. The safety features are also second to none. The High Racer Gloves have the best feel, great fit, superior safety features and they look amazing when holding a first place trophy.

Best sport/track glove, bar none
This is my second pair of Racer High Ends. My first pair lasted 8yrs with both street and track use. These are the most comfortable, well made and best designed gloves I've ever used...I'm a very satisfied customer!

Very surprised!
I recently purchased a set of the High Racer gloves in white and was very pleasantly surprised by how easily the gloves broke in and the feel they provided during my last race weekend.
In 2010, I returned to motorcycling and the dealer sold me a set of name brand gloves (A-stars). When that set was destroyed in a race incident, I purchased another set of these gloves. I immediately began having hand/wrist issues which I attributed to a past injury so rode in this condition for an entire season. This set of gloves developed a hole at the end of the index finger so it was time for a new set.
Last October, I had met the owner of Racer Gloves at a motorcycle show and had tried on all the gloves. I had taken his card with the glove model and size on the back. Since I needed a new set, I contacted Racer and in no time at all, they were being delivered to my house.
With 2 track days instructing and 1 race weekend running 5 classes, I was very surprised on how easily the gloves broke in and how well the fit settled in after these events.
With the safety features built in and the Kangaroo skin, this glove is fantastic! And to top all of this off, the hand/wrist numbness I used to get is gone! Thinking about getting another set of Racer gloves for my commuting purposes now!

Great gloves!
This is my second pair of Racers. I have a pair of Racer Acqua gloves (waterproof) and needed a cooler pair for warm weather riding. The Racer High gloves fit great and are very comfortable right from the start; they need very little break. Good venting, and excellent protective carbon at stress points. And they look great too.
I have large hands with short fingers. So many manufacturers gloves are either too tight, or the fingers are too long. These fit perfectly.
I will be buying more in the future.

Best gloves I've owned to date
These gloves are an impressive piece of kit!
They are obviously well designed and made of quality materials. The palms of the gloves are reasonably thin, without feeling skimpy. This means that they transmit feedback from the bars very well.
The armor is robust, without being intrusive. Some other gloves I've owned clearly offered a lot of protection, but they never "moved" the way I wanted them too. Unlike these other brands, the Racer gloves close easily and naturally around the grips of the bike without much effort. This seemingly small reduction in effort yields big advantages during a long session in an endurance race or during training. My hands and arms are less tired, making it much easier to last the day.
All in all I'm very impressed and will be ordering another pair of Racer gloves in the future!

Best ever bike gloves
Absolutely the best protection, great comfort (you do have to wear them a few times to break them in). They look great and professional.

Just Arrived- So Far So Good-Very comfortable, soon to fit perfectly
Right out of the package- I had a sense that these High Racer Gloves were well made and included all of the right details I was looking for and some nice features I had not noticed from the web site.
I'm looking forward to a quick break-in, and a glove that stays together where it counts. If there is any care to preserving the gloves from hand sweat which burns out the leather- please let me know .

Actually Four & Half stars
These gloves are very protective and comfortable to wear. An early version was a little off. Gave the High Racers a second try and found them to be as good as gloves can be, a match for Held gloves. Been riding sport bikes since 1963, these are by far the best gloves in my experience.

Glovinista rates Racer the Best so far!
I'm kind of a glove freak that likes to try the top brands from some of the top providers.... Dainese, A-Stars, Held, Rukka, Klim and Rev'It. I was favoring Dainese Scalpel and full metal RS as well as Rev'It's Jerez and Phantom GTX gloves until I purchased my Racer...High Racer Glove at La Ducati Days in La Honda. Normally I wear a size LARGE, but Lee Recommended the X-Large. The gloves feel awesome and so smooth and flexible without feeling whimpy. These gloves are extremely well made and so functional to boot! Digits, Knuckles and back or hand and ulna area of wrist are well protected and with virtually NO break-in period. I road home with them on from La Honda for their first 230 miles trip on my BMW-HP4 Competition and they felt perfect the first day. I highly recommend RACER gloves if you want excellent protection and a perfect and comfortable fit.

Great Fit
I normally have problems with fingers being to long but these gloves are the best I have had for fit and the Mediums fit true to size as they said.
Workmanship is very good.
I will by another pair when I need them.

High Racer Gloves
It does need a little breaking in, with the right glove not as comfortable as the left. Both fit snuggly and conform to the hand after three to four rides. This is a good pair of gloves very near the Held level for fit and protection.

Very high quality and comfort!
I've owned a pair of the High-End gloves for around seven years, and put over 50,000 miles on them.
I got the High Racer glove model last week, and they fit so good without break-in required. The quality of construction and fit is just excellent.
I'm a very happy and loyal customer!

Crash tested and approved !
These gloves fit perfect right from new. They are extremely soft with the Kangaroo hide palm and the leather didn't require to be worked in at all.
They are ventilated very well which are perfect for those hotter days.
I unfortunately had a low side while wearing these gloves at 80 mph and slid on the pavement for a while before tumbling into the grass. The gloves held up great, the carbon fiber knuckles and palm sliders worked perfectly, even the stitching held together unlike some of the other brands I've used in the past. The gloves are still in great shape and can be used again, too bad i can't say the same about the bike...

Amazing Pair of Gloves. Highly recommended.
The High Racer gloves are awesome, great fit right out of the box, they are extremely comfortable and offer great protection.

Nice gloves. Snug fit, but breaking in. Excellent ventilation; think twice before wearing on a cold morning. Comfort is slightly compromised by the armor and the palm sliders, otherwise 5 stars.

Love 'em
My second pair of High Racers. There are cheaper gloves that imitate these, but look close at the features & you'll see the difference. The choice of materials and workmanship are superior. These gloves fit perfect, put ventilation where you need it, and look great. I see the latest edition of these glove has some changes. Evidently, the designers are committed to improvement.
