FAQs

Are these gloves waterproof?

No, the RST Vortek gloves are designed for maximum airflow in warm weather and are not waterproof.

What does CE Level 1 KP certification mean?

It means the gloves have been independently tested and certified for impact protection (KP stands for Knuckle Protection) to meet European safety standards.

Can I use these gloves for winter riding?

These gloves are intended for warm conditions and do not provide the thermal insulation required for cold-weather riding.

How do I ensure the right fit?

Measure around your hand at the widest point (excluding the thumb). Refer to the manufacturer's size guide and ensure the armor sits comfortably over your knuckles.

Are the palm sliders replaceable?

No, the TPU palm sliders are integrated into the glove's construction and are not designed to be replaced.

Do these gloves work with touch-screen devices?

These gloves do not feature integrated touch-sensitive fingertips, so they must be removed to use a smartphone or GPS.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel tight across the knuckles

Ensure your hand is relaxed and not gripping the bars while checking fit. If the tightness persists, you may need to try the next size up to ensure the armor sits correctly.

Wrist strap keeps loosening

Check the hook and loop surface for lint or debris. Clean the surface using a small brush to restore the adhesive strength of the closure.

Leather palm feels stiff after washing

Once completely dry, gently work the leather with your hands and apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore softness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of breathability for hot weather
  • CE Level 1 KP certified for safety
  • Out-stitched fingers prevent discomfort
  • Durable full-grain leather construction
  • Secure hook and loop wrist closure

Cons

  • Not suitable for cold or wet weather
  • Minimal insulation for transitional seasons
  • Lacks touch-screen capability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum safety and comfort, always verify that the glove size allows for full dexterity of the clutch and brake levers. The hook and loop wrist closure should be adjusted snugly but not so tight that it restricts circulation.

Care Instructions:

  1. Do not machine wash. Use a soft cloth with mild leather cleaner to wipe down the palm areas.
  2. Use a mild soap or specific mesh cleaner for the back panels, ensuring you rinse thoroughly to avoid residue.
  3. Allow the gloves to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the leather to stiffen or crack.
  4. Apply a quality leather conditioner to the palm section periodically to keep the material supple.
