Product Information

Full details

The SHIMA SONIC motorbike gloves are designed for adult riders seeking a balance of high-impact protection and superior airflow during summer riding conditions. These gloves utilize advanced materials like GFLEXX protectors and breathable leather, making them an ideal choice for urban commuters and touring enthusiasts. While they offer excellent versatility and tactile sensitivity, they are specifically engineered for warm-weather use and may not provide sufficient thermal insulation for cold-weather riding.

FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, the SHIMA SONIC gloves prioritize ventilation and are not waterproof.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the natural leather and the protective inserts. Clean them manually using a damp cloth.

What is GFLEXX technology?

GFLEXX is an advanced protection system that provides high impact absorption while maintaining the flexibility required for comfortable riding.

Do these gloves come in different colors?

Yes, they are available in various colors including Black, Pink, White, and Grey, depending on availability.

Are these gloves suitable for track days?

While they offer significant protection for casual and touring riders, track days often require specific long-gauntlet gloves with higher safety certifications.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your hand circumference at the widest point and compare it with the SHIMA size chart to ensure a correct, safe fit.

Troubleshooting

Touchscreen sensitivity is inconsistent.

Ensure the Touch Tip pad is clean and making full contact with the screen. Screen protectors on your device may also reduce responsiveness.

Gloves feel stiff after a long ride.

This is common with new leather gear. Use a light leather conditioner to soften the material and encourage the natural shape to form to your hand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation for hot summer days
  • High level of protection through GFLEXX technology
  • Allows smartphone use without taking gloves off
  • Flexible design ensures comfortable grip
  • Durable natural leather construction

Cons

  • Not suitable for winter or cold-weather riding
  • Offers less coverage than full-gauntlet racing gloves
  • Leather requires occasional care to maintain suppleness

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your SHIMA SONIC gloves last, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the gloves fit snugly but allow for full range of motion in the wrists and fingers. If the glove is too tight, it may restrict blood flow; if too loose, the protection may shift during an impact.
  2. Compatibility: These gloves work with all standard motorcycle grips. The touchscreen functionality is calibrated for most modern smartphone screens, though heavy screen protectors may impact sensitivity.
  3. Care: Clean the leather exterior with a damp cloth and specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the gloves in water. If they become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can dry out and crack the natural leather.
