Racer Multitop Gloves



Living in San Francisco, I wear these gloves year round. Locally, Scuderia carries them. The Multitops are great for SF winters, the High Ends are great for summer (ventilated!) and the Start is a great in between glove. These are fully waterproof gloves. Some will tell you that they can feel the water soak through the inner liner, but I really think that they're feeling the sweat from the liner. I've ridden in a full on downpour. I've never felt the dampness of the leather but my hands were never 'wet' after taking them post downpour. They broke in almost immediately. You know how new gloves are stiff and tight until after the first week or so of riding? Well, look no further. After one ride they will feel like you've been wearing them for them forever.

They certainly aren't the warmest gloves that ever lived, but they really are the most comfortable. These are also hand washable in Woolite. Get them wet and take a small drop of Woolite (a little goes a long way) and gently rub it into the palm of the glove, removing as much dirt as you can. Then run it under running water until the water runs clear. To dry, stuff the glove with paper towels or newspaper and dry the gloves right side up over a bottle, or similar shape to fully dry. I've found that the gloves dried overnight without any problems. You'll never get the gloves looking like new, but you can certainly try to get any major stains out of the palms.

Be sure to store your gloves flat, in a cool dry place. Especially after you've been riding around all day, sweating profusely in them. They need room to breathe and dry out. It'll also help keep them from smelling sweaty and gross.
