Even though the GMS Strike has the look & feel of a motorcycle racing glove, let’s tame realistic expectations a little with one piercing finger pointing at razor-sharp prices.
With its long cuff, obvious extra layers, reinforced little finger and the visible knuckle protector, the GMS Strike has the same characteristics found in motorcycle gloves that dwell around the race track.
The budget-friendliness of this particular motorcycle glove nuances the result: the Strike motorcycle gloves are made almost entirely of soft cowhide leather. The equally soft lining and the elastic inserts between the fingers create – together with the accordion inserts – a pleasant and well-fitting unit that gets you around in a comfortable way. Not in a race against your previous lap time, per se, but at a decent tempo on public roads.
The fact that the Strike has a number of reflective elements and a touchscreen-sensitive fingertip and thumb illustrates how the public roads are indeed their favourite playing ground. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dream big, though. Until then, just enjoy the safe and comfortable protection these motorcycle gloves-with-racing-look provide.
The cuff covers your entire wrist and a typical motorcycle racing set-up with double Velcro allows you to choose whether to wear the Strike motorcycle gloves by GMS inside or over your sleeves.
