RST Rider Gloves

Lightweight Hybrid Performance for Urban Riding

The RST Rider Gloves are a high-value, lightweight motorcycle glove designed specifically for city commuting and everyday road use. Constructed from a synthetic hybrid material with microfibre accents, these gloves are engineered to complement the RST Rider jacket range while providing a streamlined profile. They offer a balance of comfort and protection, featuring a Level 1 KP CE certification and a pre-curved finger design to reduce rider fatigue during transit.

Key Features

• CE Certification: Rated to Level 1 KP for verified protection on Australian roads.
• Visco Elastane Knuckle: Integrated knuckle protection provides impact absorption without compromising the glove's flexibility.
• Synthetic Hybrid Construction: A lightweight outer shell designed for durability and ease of movement.
• Double Layer Palm: Reinforced palm area increases abrasion resistance and longevity in a high-wear zone.
• Pre-curved Fingers: Ergonomically shaped to follow the natural contour of the hand for better grip and control feel.
• Adjustable Velcro Closure: Secure cuff fastening system allows for a customised fit around the wrist.
• Comfort Mesh Lining: Fixed inner lining manages airflow and enhances internal comfort during extended rides.

Construction and Safety Mechanics

The Rider Glove utilises a strategic material blend to ensure a secure feel without the bulk of traditional leather touring gloves. The secondary microfibre material provides tactile feedback at the controls, while the double-layer palm reinforcement acts as a critical safety feature against friction. Despite its lightweight entry-level positioning, the inclusion of a palm slider and visco elastane knuckle protection ensures the glove meets modern safety standards for urban environments.
