The SF1 can be considered the short racing glove par excellence. Perfect for sport, roadster, and supermoto riding. Made famous by its 10 Supermoto World Champion titles (5 at the hands of Thomas Chareyre), the SF1 has been totally redesigned for 2018, creating a brand-new style that’s even more efficient. Designed for high-performance connoisseurs looking for a level of protection equivalent to that found on high-end racing gloves, without the bulk, it promises optimal protection of the ulna. With its palm that includes an English leather Digital Pittards® reinforcement, it offers optimal grip under all circumstances. With full-grain leather, Kevlar® lining, Carbon reinforcements and a SuperFabric™patch on the palm, Stretch Kevlar™ for comfort, the new SF1 is protective both on the inside and on the top side of the hand. Simply THE benchmark style in its category.
Features;
- Full-grain cowhide construction (topside) for durability/full-grain goatskin (palm) for suppleness
- Ventilated TPU metacarpal-knuckle protective shells
- Protective Carbon palm slider shell
- Palm reinforcement in Digital Pittards® leather
- Thenar muscle (palm) reinforcement with a Superfabric® patch

Brilliant! Well designed and manufactured. Comfortable from the start without the need to break in! Excellent features for safety and comfort and a reasonable price! I'll use these almost year round on the street with absolute confidence. The only thing lacking is a patch on the finger for phone/touchscreen compatibility... I'm happy to go without it fir this level of feel.

I bought these after my revit sand 3 gloves came apart at the seams. After one ride these gloves are almost as comfy as the half mesh revits. They do run a bit small, I'm usually a L in most gloves but the XL was perfect. I love the extra carpal and ulna protection that these give without the bulkiness of a full gauntlet. The fact that they're used a lot in the supermoto world champs says a lot! Definitely worth the money, you're getting a lot more glove for your money than some similar priced options. Also I can still use my phone despite them not being touchscreen compatible, its just not as accurate. Definitely recommend them.

Bought these after being highly recommended the brand by a motorcycle leather repair guy in Brisbane. He told me they are the best on the market. Quality is great although the red on the fingers stained my right fingers for the first few times wearing them, I ordered large which is what I normally wear with other brands but my fingers touch the tips of the gloves so they seem to run a bit small

First time I’ve worn Five gloves and I’m very happy. I’ve used Dainese exclusively for many years, but after my 4 Stroke EVO split at the palm after only 18 months, I decided to try something different. I dismissed these gloves initially because I wasn’t familiar with the brand, but I’m happy I gave them a try. They fit really well straight away- virtually no break in required. Protection is great and comfort/feel is excellent. They fit a touch on the small side, so consider going up a size. Overall, highly recommend.

Been riding in these gloves for just over a month now and they're a great pair of gloves. Love the breathability and study protection all over, it brings great peace of mind knowing my hands are covered in case of emergency. My only critique of this item is that for a 2XL these are a bit smaller than expected and makes getting the gloves on a battle of wiggling my hands into the glove.
