Here's my review of the Viaterra Holeshot Gloves
I've heard people say before that riding with gloves and without is a massive difference and they were SO RIGHT. Ever since I've started riding with gloves, not only have i felt more confident while riding but it's felt more "right". Riding without these feels very "naked" or "exposed" if that makes sense.
About the airflow- FANTASTIC, if you're going any faster than 30-40km/h you barely feel any sort of suffocation or anything, and even below these speeds you don't necessarily feel hot or suffocated, just normal. Ironically, in this summer heat, my hands have been cooler thanks to these compared to something like my thighs WITH jeans on.
I can't say anything about the protection since I haven't been through an accident or anything with them but they do have CE certifications and KNOX sliders so they should be pretty capable. I was originally thinking of going with the solace rival gloves but literally everywhere I looked they were out of stock so I just went with these.
Also, if anyone's still a bit hesitant about spending on riding gloves (like I was), trust me and just go for it. They're very worth it
