I had my concerns about protection too TBH but for £25 I thought I would try em. The palms and fingers are quite thick leather with a suede piece over the top for extra grip so I think a "double somersault with twist and finally into handstand" off would be as good as any other motorcycle glove. They have a lot of padding and protective pads on the front of hand (and the fingernails are leather).
I reckon they would offer decent protection. [source - some bloke on a forum]
This is the sort of information we need! That's great to hear that such a cheap glove is apparently so well made. But then, it is HELD, you'd expect good things from them at any price.
Thanks to one of the guys on this forum, I've managed to bag myself a set of the Racer Titan's really cheap. Proper reviewing/comments later as they arrived today, and it's back to summer glove weather again. But the quality obviously seems good (normally £100 glove), and the fingers are surprisingly flexible considering their bulk. Size wise, they come up tiny for what they are. My summer RST's are a 'L', my old winter Alpinestars are an 'XL' and these are an 'XXL' and fit well! The wrist velcro only JUST goes tight enough, but I have narrow wrists.
The same day, several hours earlier, I ordered the Furygan Land Pro Evo gloves Get Geared had on sale For £59.99 instead of £99.99. I ordered these in an 'L', and they're slightly tighter, but fit well. Build quality is good, they seem nice gloves - decent dual insulation (thick top, thinner palm), but you can feel the inner move when you pull your hand out. It's obviously stitched into the ends of the fingers, but it does move, I would hope that it'd not pull away overa winter period - that would be really inconvenient!
My biggest problem with them is that the wrist doesn't go anywhere near tight enough to stop them pulling off my hands if I had a crash - again, I do have thin wrists, but there's plenty of space to put more velcro. (I'll be offering them a guy at work for what I paid, or sending them back if he doesn't want them)
