Nice Gloves
I like everything about these gloves except the color...I should have gotten black instead of the silver. Simply a wrong choice when I ordered. Gloves fit right according to the size chart. They are pretty warm and don't seem to vent much - not much of a problem in Minnesota.

All I can say is...wow!
These are hands down the nicest gloves I have ever owned. The look and feel of these are incredible. You have an automatic grip on your motorcycle grips when wearing these. They are incredibly comfortable, and they absorb a lot of the vibration...my hands don't go numb nearly as much when I use these. They also are very breathable between the fingers, making warmer trips much more tolerant.

Cortech - Scarab R.R. Gloves
Nice quality. They have a good fit and are well finished; they also flow plenty of air making the protection they offer an easy choice in warm weather. The pricing was good and represented a good value compared to other gloves I own. I tend to do some longer stretches between stops and the gloves remain comfortable, doing a good job of keeping hand fatigue a non-issue. Armor seems average or slightly above and the stitching is very uniform without the variation often detectable from left to right glove in other pairs I've owned. Overall I found them a good value and would recommend the Scarab R.R. Glove to anyone looking upscale comfortable protection for warm weather riding.

Not bad
Gloves at first fit where way to big, I’ve always ordered XL and these are huge buy next size down, and left hand is bigger than right hand, but other than that they are good gloves for the price!

Great value and surprisingly warm gloves
I wear these while riding my ZRX to work (8 miles one way at 55 mph) here in Wisconsin. They are a good match with the Cortech GX Sport jacket. They keep my hands warm down to about 45 degrees and are quite supple, even in cold weather. Like most Cortech products, these are very well designed and have the same armor as the winter scarabs. Only minor complaint is that the stitching on one finger is coming loose after a lot of wear. Overall a terrific glove for the money. Thanks MCSS for the great service!

great gloves with a so-so fit
these gloves offer great protection, appear to be finely crafted and durable, and provide great ventilation for a heavy set of gauntlets.
yet i can't get over the fact that they just don't seem to fit right. my four fingers and palm fit snugly inside the glove without being too tight or offering too much slack, but the thumb part of the glove is simply too large, by at almost an entire centimeter. this makes using the turn signals a bit awkward and just makes the entire experience a little uncomfortable. (note: i haven't had any problems with gloves not fitting only my thumb in the past - meaning i don't have disproportionately small thumbs)

Good gloves
No pun intended but these fit like a glove. Very comfortable and provide exceptional protection. Extremely happy with the fit and finish.

Nice Gloves!
These fit very well and for me fit true to size. They seem very well put together. They are very comfortable and didn't require any breaking in. They wouldn't be my first pick on a really cold day, but other than that they are a great buy for the money. Would highly recommend these gloves!

Best bang for the buck
Winter is approaching and the mesh gloves aren't going to do. I had a set of Joe Rocket Blaster gloves but they didn't match my current bike so it was time for a new set. Naturally I had a list of features to satisfy, and the Scarab gloves fit the bill perfectly.
The styling is awesome. Full gauntlet with reinforced knuckles and Velcro strapping across the wrist and forearm. I have used them in 40 degree weather and with a set of silk liners my hands stay warm. Lack of dexterity is one downside though which isn't Cortech's fault. This is the case for any heavier gauntlet style protection. Still, I can get my D-strap lose on my helmet with them on so it's not terrible. Can't really say anything on durability yet but they do seem well made.
I scoured multiple sites looking for a better deal given the features that come with the scarab and couldn't find any.

Awesome...Minus The Velcro!
I purchased these gloves at the start of the season, late Feb-early March. I've worn them almost daily and they are just starting to show signs of wear. They do not breathe as well as I had hoped (90 degrees or above) however the quality, fit and finish are awesome...except for the velcro. The top wrist strap has lost 90% of its a "stickability" whereas the main closure has gone down to 75%. I don't know if there is such a thing as different velco qualities, but these gloves would be almost perfect if the velcro held throughout the life of the gloves. You can't find a better pair of gloves for the price. I'd likely purchase these again. Also it would be great if they came in black.(warm weather version)

I like 'em
These are my first real motorcycle gloves. I did some research and decided that I wanted as much protection as possible without paying more than $50-60. Gauntlet style, knuckle, palm and wrist protection. These gloves provide for some of that in all these areas. They fit well and are comfortable. Can't comment on durability but they look well made enough. If I was looking for my first pair of gloves again and knew what I know now I would buy these again.

Great Product for even better price!
I would recommend this for anyone looking to save a buck on some quality gloves with great fit. I needed a pair of gloves to go over my new ICON leather (Witch I hate but its non returnable at this point) The gloves needed to go over the jacket because the jacket sleeves were large with no way of making them snug on my wrist. These gloves have done just that for me and I am happy with them so far.

Cortech - Scarab R.R. Gloves
I love the mix of colors and quality of these gloves. The hardened knuckle protection and padded heels make them safe and cool looking at the same time. Great bang for the buck! Thanks

Well I bought theses gloves because of the price, not really expecting much, but wow was I wrong. These gloves are amazing, great feel and they breathe so much even in 90F. I recommend these to the person looking for a great glove at a crazy low price.

Excellent gloves! Been riding for 20 plus years and the quality and fit was exceptional. Internal lining was comfortable and the pre shaped gloves made fit better than most. I definitely would recommend the gloves........

Scarab R.R. gloves
I like the gloves great for the price. Right hand glove fits a little loose and makes using the throttle a little weird when first starting out on a ride. Only had them a little while so can't really comment on durability although a thread on the middle finger on the right glove is coming undone.

not bad for the money
With all there is to choose from at this site it wasn't easy making a decision. But they seem to be well built; size chart appears to be accurate. They need more protection in the palms and the wrist strap slides out of the loop when you are inserting you hand. Other than that they are great gloves to were in summer they might get a little cold below 50*f because they are snug and thin.
Cool site love the convenience, the reviews, and Shipping. Best web site I have ever dealt with.
God bless you ;)

Good product for the price
After using these gloves a few times I found a few things that I like and something’s that could be better. The protection these gloves offer is very good. They provide ample coverage over the entire wrist, along with hard kevlar overlay on the knuckles. A down side to these Cortech gloves is that they have a long break in period. It took awhile before they became comfortable. The dual velcro straps at two different locations give you both a secure fit and the ability to articulate your wrist without feeling restricted. Overall...these coretech gloves are a good product for the price.

Great mild-warm weather gloves
The gloves are very comfortable and don't really need to be broken in much like other leather gloves do. Warm enough to ride for a bit in the 30's and 40's and cool enough to keep on wearing them into the summer temps.

Cortech RR Scarab Gloves
This is a great glove to match up with the Cortech GX Sport jacket but, this is a warmer weather glove. I have used it at around 40 degrees and the glove is designed to breathe quite well at higher temps. I felt cold air rushing between the fingers at 40-50 mph and it didn't take long for my hands to chill out. I guess I just couldn't wait to try them out and I am sure when it warms up, they will be my favorite riding glove. It's still snowing here!

Good product for cost
For the most part I like these gloves. The cost to benefit ratio is great. The only complaint I have with them is my knuckles don't fit into the hard plastic on the knuckles where the fingers meet the main part of the gloves. This may be because I have the incorrect size. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone looking for good gloves for a good cost. Thanks Motorcycle-superstore for your great service and products offered.

Happy Turned to Sad......
When I first got these gloves, I was really happy. The fit was okay, but the webbing between my fingers would get sore. After wearing them around the house for about 4 days off and on, it did not hurt as bad. Then I noticed the stitching along the seams starting pulling apart. It was in the area of where the leather and spandex come together. It is a great idea to use spandex, since it gives great flexibility and breaths well. However, the stitching holding the leather and spandex together does not work well. The thread ends up ripped out of the spandex. I was worried these gloves would not hold when I would actually use them for riding. My thought was if the stitching was coming apart from sitting around my house using a remote control to channel surf, they would fall apart for sure using a clutch, brake, and throttle. I sent them back.

Does the job
These are nicely put together gloves with decent protection where needed. Nice fit, and very flexible and comfortable. The finger-side expansion panels let air through, making them cool in hot weather, but they do require glove liners for cold weather use. I particularly like the wrist cinch strap (it's very well placed) and the fact that the gauntlet fits well over the sleeves of my leather jacket. I think they're a great value for the price.

Good gloves overall
Very comfortable, I use them on almost a daily basis. They're a little lacking on padding and the seams on the white accent on my pointer finger is fraying a little but still holds good. Apart from these problems they fit my needs perfectly!.

Fits... like a glove
I generally wear size Large gloves and these fit me perfectly. I have no problems getting the gauntlet over my leather suit cuff. Pre-curved for gripping the handlebars, they offer plenty of padding and protection where it needs to be without being bulky and still allow the movement you need for control. The medieval armor styling on these are amongst the coolest I've seen. Overall I'm extremely happy with these gloves. Tourmaster/Cortech stuff is usually pretty good quality.

These are replacement gloves to a more expensive name brand pair. I actually like the Tour Master/Cortech better all around.

These gloves are great.
I have made many purchases at Motorcycle-Superstore and they continue to be fast (very fast), friendly (easy to return/exchange), and sell only high quality gear (unlike A LOT of other websites). These gloves are no exception. They fit great, look good, and do just what they are supposed to do... allow you to not notice them. I love these gloves.

Nice features, low durability
I have to say that I loved these gloves when I first bought them... but... they started ripping near the seams after one summer and fall of normal use. If these gloves were a little more durable I wouldn't have been forced to other brands.

a very good envestment
The scarab r.r. gloves are very nice. Best investment I have made. They have good fit, very comfortable to wear, not hot, very flexible. I would get another pair of them when these get worn out.

Scarab R.R. Gloves
I really liked these gloves when I first bought them. I had excellent feel for controls, the armor wasn't restrictive, I wasn't too hot riding in the summer (these are not winter gloves), and they fit my fingers well. For the price, they were terrific... but... after one riding season the stitching on one of my fingers came loose. I ordered a second pair, and the stitching on one of the armor pieces was already broken. Although I love the GX-Air jacket, I'll look into other brand gloves with similar feature that are noted as being durable.

Great value
These gloves offer a lot for the money. Sturdily constructed, they have heavy gauntlets, hard knuckle protection, and some sort of slide pads for the heel of the hand. Very comfortable with a soft lining. I can't really speak to durability yet since I haven't been wearing them that long, but the solid construction gives cause for optimism. They run true to size in the sense that all the gloves I have tried do, which is to say the Large fits my rather small hands perfectly. I believe these are comparable to gloves costing twice as much (A*s GP Plus for example).

cookeville, TN
nice gloves for the price
I bought these gloves because I wanted a glove with good protection but didn't want to spend $200. These gloves are very nice, with lots of protection for the track or street. They have a velcro wrist enclosure and a velcro gauntlet enclosure, which is quite long enough to fit over sleeves. They fit true to size, but are a little tight around the wrist; but if you wear them a little loose it shouldn't be a problem.

Scarab RR
These gloves fit great and have a lot of nice features. Sadly, they don't hold up at all. I bought a pair as this winter and after a few months the stitching on the palm started coming loose. The dealer reluctantly traded them out for a new pair. I found a small hole in them before I left the store. Since that was the only pair he had I kept them. Now three months later the thumb on one of the gloves is coming unraveled. I would not get another pair of Scarab gloves.

Scarab RR Gloves
These are the most comfortable gloves I have ever worn, they have really reduced hand fatigue on long trips. The gauntlet style works great over my jacket and they are easy to get on and off. I feel much more confident with these gloves compared to the thin leather ones I used to wear, because of both better dexterity and more protection.

Scarab RR Gloves
Good glove for the price. Have used for several track days and the gloves deliver good feel w/o a lot of fatigue. Have not used much for street riding yet so don't know how well they will work for longer riding periods but suspect they will do well. Ventilation is fair. Works well for a fall, winter (SC winters) glove. Probably too hot for summer.

I was very picky when choosing my motorcycle gloves. I tried out nearly every manufacturer I could find that had similar gloves in this style/price range. Overall, these had superior fit and comfort than any other brand. The Durability seems to be great and I hope to never have to really test it out!! Rubber side down!! I am very pleased with these and would recommend them to anyone.

Very good gloves. Very nicely made and I can can still easily use my fingers while wearing them. Very comfortable gloves. No accident since I have them so I don't know how they are in a fall.
