Default Shift RPM Gloves

After my wreck, I never replaced my short cuff gloves. Instead I've just been wearing my gauntlet gloves I bought for the track. I'm ready to buy some more short cuff gloves again and I'm really liking the looks of the Shift RPM Gloves, so I thought I'd check and see if any of you had a pair and could give any feedback on them.

I definitely will. I've been looking at them for a little while now and I think I'm going to break down and order them tomorrow. I've never owned anything made by Shift so I thought I'd see if by some lucky chance anyone on here had them and could give me a first hand review. I'll let y'all know my thoughts once I get them!

Look at the frank thomas XTi. They have knuckle protection, kangaroo leather on the palm and extra padding on the opposite side of the thumb.

Also they are only 90 dollars and the wrist and gauntlet enclosure is really well made

I've already got a gauntlet glove. I'm wanting a short cuff. Plus I need something that I can get in Women's sizes...

They have them in extra small and why would you want a short cuff in the first place???

Good luck with them. They look like a good pair of gloves

I know, I know. I prefer wearing the short cuff on my short rides. I've got my gauntlet gloves, and love them, and generally wear them on my more hard core rides, but sometimes, I just wanna throw on the short cuffs and go (for me they don't take quite as long to get on), especially if I'm actually riding as a passenger instead of taking my own bike out.

Lol it takes like 25 seconds more if that Missy!

Not to be a gear nazi but if you're already wearing gloves why not wear gauntlet all the time??????? Unless of course it takes you longer because you're a woman
