This is my second video for Revzilla.com!
In this vid, I give you all my recommendations for women's jackets with the longest sleeves.
But in case you missed my last Geek Speak video for Revzilla.com, you can watch that one here too:
Remember, #Atgatt

Story to come. Just know that the combination of leather and body armor saved the entire right side of my body. All I walked away with was a fun collection of bruises in varying shades of green.

Race Gloves for Women: Racer
Racer Gloves finally has returned with true race gloves for women along 2 other options for street riding!
High quality, protective, leather motorcycle gloves are hard to find for women riders these days. That's why I'm such a fan of Racer. I have 4 pairs of their gloves which I acquired 3-5 years ago. As soon a I heard they were discontinuing my favorites, I immediately purchased replacement pairs. I currently have 2 of the High End (below, older version of the High Racer) and 2 of the Multitop. The High Ends are my absolute favorite riding gloves, out of the ~6-8 pairs that I have.
The first new model is the High Racer, in black and white for $219.99. Unfortunately you do not have any black options. These make for an excellent track / race glove and all around street riding glove. The High Racer, much like the older model has full kangaroo skin palms, palm And scaphoid sliders, carbon fiber protectors and an incredible fit and feel.
The second, less expensive option is the Grip, for $159.99. This glove is constructed of fully of goatskin, hard knuckle protectors and most likely a more relaxed street fit. This glove too is only available in sizes M-XL. Fingers crossed for XS, S!
The third is a lightweight, waterproof glove, the Traveller, for $149.99 isn't insulated. Sometimes you need a waterproof glove, but you may not need a warm one.
I should be getting a couple samples to check out in person. However, since I wear a XS/S, I doubt they will fit me. Who knows, maybe they will run smaller. I will update my post as soon as I receive them.
As of right now, Racer has only made size Medium-XLarge available in all these models. Those Austrians just have no idea how much we need XS, S. Hopefully they will make some available soon. I know that Racer Gloves USA is fighting hard to get us these sorely needed sizes, but for the ladies who do need larger sized gloves you now have 3 killer options.
Extra Extra Small Women's Motorcycle Gloves
Just in time for summer. Dainese has come out with not only 1, but 2 pairs of gloves in 2XS to provide options for women with very very small hands. Or, if you have a youngster just learning to ride and he/she needs smaller gloves now you have two pairs to choose from!
Neither of these gloves are precurved very much, which for me is a dealbreaker. A glove that has a lot of precurve in the fingers, palms, etc. like these will reduce fatigue while using your hand controls for long periods of time. The last thing I want is for my hand to fit the gloves because they're not fitting me right.
I'm always a fan of more protection than not so I'm going to recommend the Air Hero's ($95) first with the added hard knuckles and slightly increased leather coverage. You never know where your hands are going to end up.
The second pair is much lighter but still has a full leather palm (which is a MUST). The Air Migs are also quite ventilated but are lacking in any hard knuckle protection.
There are multiple colors available and again, are offered in 2XS! Woo hoo.
