Riparo Motorsports Men's Fingerless Half Finger Driving Fitness Motorcycle Cycling Unlined Leather Gloves (X-Small, Black/Blue Thread)

So here's the thing. There's that dye transfer issue everyone is talking about where they turn your hands black and blue if you get sweaty.I fixed it at the instruction of a leather working friend by simply rinsing the gloves out in cold water several times, letting them dry out completely in between just resting on a towel.It was a little bit of time and effort, but the gloves look and feel great, I love to wear them when I ride. They have the look of a much more expensive glove. The rinsing didn't damage the leather. They maybe shrank by 5-10%, but once I wore them for a couple hours they very nicely conformed to my hands. So it's worth it I think.

Once again I was proven that these gloves are of epic quality, durability, workmanship, and excellence at its finest. Back in November I bought a pair of Riparo Motorsports driving gloves and I was impressed with the quality, so when I needed fingerless driving gloves, I decided to buy from this company again because I know that I always get epic quality items. The leather is soft and strong, made in Pakistan which make the leathers of superior quality. At first they feel snug, but with each use they adjust to the form of the hand and they feel like a second skin. I like the snaps because they're of the same colour of the leather, and also the white stitching around the globe. The openings of the knuckles are aligned with my knuckles, unlike the competition out there that their gloves aren't. I highly recommend these company and the products they sell because of their durability. These gloves definitely exceed my expectations, and I will always be buying Riparo Motorsports products again.

I have enjoyed my black, full fingered Riparo gloves for a few months now. They were great in the cooler weather. I ordered the fingerless cognac gloves, but they arrived with one broken snap so I returned that pair. Also, the Cognac color is quite orange and I didn't really like it. They fit looser than the black pair, as well. So, with the full Amazon credit I ordered these fingerless gloves in black. I have a medium size hand, and just like the other black ones, they are tight at first but quickly break-in and form fit nicely to your hand. I am much happier with the black version, and it was nice to have a free return on the defective pair. In addition to being cooler for the spring, I also like being able to manipulate my phone when necessary on the touchscreen. From what I've encountered, stick with the black! Oh, and for $3.99 extra they arrived within 24 hours UPS! Nice.

I bought the black gloves with red stitching. The fit and quality was good, but the gloves bleed black and dye my hands when they sweat. I would not recommend the dyed gloves. Buy natural leather.

I ordered both the Riparo Motorsports Men's Fingerless Half Finger Driving Unlined Leather Gloves and the ELMA Men's Deerskin Leather Fingerless Half Finger Driving Unlined Gloves. Here is my review:Appearance: The Riparo gloves are definitely a cut above the ELMA gloves. They have mostly inside seams, whereas the ELMA gloves have all outside seams. The decorative stitching and perforations on the Riparo gloves are much more detailed, giving the gloves a more finished, rich, stylish, and elegant look.Color (light brown): This is subjective, but to me the Riparo gloves have a more pleasing color.Size: The Riparo gloves are way undersized. My hand size is at the lower end of a Medium. I initially ordered a Medium, but this was way too tight. I then ordered a Large, but that was also too tight. The Medium ELMA gloves fit just right.Leather: The ELMA gloves are suppler.Snaps: The snaps on the Riparo gloves are covered in leather, which is a nice detail, but they are difficult to open and close. Perhaps they might loosen up with use. The snaps on the ELMA gloves are metal and work fine.Conclusion: After weighing form against function, I reluctantly decided to keep the ELMA and return the Riparo at my cost, even though I liked the look of the Riparo better. Perhaps the X-Large Riparo would have worked out, but I just couldn’t justify any more shipping costs.

I measured my hand around the knuckles and then ordered a size larger. The gloves are snug enough that they don't slide around, but aren't terrible difficult to get on and off. If they were any tighter, they might not fit, so as other have said... think about ordering a size up.I haven't noticed any of the dye coming off on my hands yet, though it hasn't gotten brutally hot here either.I really like the look (I went for black with red stitching) and feel of the gloves. I had a problem with my hands sticking to the wheel and shift knob before, and now it's no longer an issue. Real happy with these gloves.

I bought these gloves to wear at work while I'm programming, or otherwise using keyboard & mouse extensively, because using PC hardware sucks all the heat out of my hands after a couple of hours. I've tried many fingerless glove flavors from jersey to wool, even my motorcycle & weight-lifting gloves, but none were quite right; too bulky, too itchy, too stiff, etc. These gloves are the perfect solution. They fit just a hair tight for the 1st few days, but after wearing them every day for a couple weeks, they fit perfectly. The insulation factor is just right, they're flexible & not bulky, so computer tasks are now just as fast as without gloves, but much toastier. The gloves are very high quality & I just ordered a 2nd pair to use for MC riding. I would not recommend them for weight lifting, despite the OEMs claim.

Best driving gloves I've ever had. Was gifted a pair before, and after weight loss, that pair no longer fit me properly. Good enough that I had to get a properly sized pair to replace them. Excellent quality.Note: As it wears in, the backside of the snap may leave a small green mark on your hand because of the copper content. A dab of nail polish on the back of the snap where it contacts your skin will prevent this.
