Re: Solace Passion In Depth Review

My Pleasure

I have been riding for a while now; however never owned proper riding gear apart from a helmet, the worse part is, I had my wife as pillion on numerous occasions only with a helmet as well but nothing more. Suddenly i don't know what struck me and what got me back to XBhp and i started reading and logging in time and time again, and during this process i started to think of all the incidents the members have gone through during bike falls and how lucky they were to get away safely with the correct riding gear on them. All this, but not once it occurred to me after passing through multiple accidents on the highway on my way to work, what a classic idiot I could be and now I have changed for the better. I wear the whole shebang: the gloves, the jacket, the helmet and ride more alert than ever. I could say that all this is with a little help from all the members whose reviews and expert comments helped me in deciding to do the right thing and now here I am giving my own experience.




1. Material and Protection: 4/50.8,0.9mm Cow aniline Leather - Aniline Leather is the most natural and beautiful form. Full Grain Aniline Leather has been soaked in aniline dye, but does not have any subsequent pigmented or clear coat finishes applied. This dye can completely penetrate inside the hide and remove natural marks and scars. It is soft, pliable and expensive. Amara + Stretchable Fabric Used - One can read the tech gone behind making this......https://www.schoeller-textiles.com/en/textiles/motorcycle It's not really Carbon Fibre I am sure as the company claims, but could be a patch or design maybe, as CF is quite expensive.
Rubber + Vented Sliders used on fingersSilicon "Power Grip" on fingers & palm for secure grip.Nylon Bonded Thread used Reflective Material used EVA Padding at palm for extra protectionVelcro Adjustable wrist
2. Build Quality: 4/5






3. Weather Compatibility: 3/5
4. Comfort: 3/5
Maybe this is me being a noob or since I am really used to Fabric Gloves, that even a little nit of Textile could hamper my comfort level, not thinking of the protecting it commands. Well so far it is definitely comfortable after almost 3 weeks of usage, but not entirely happy as there is a slight discomfort on the Thumb . I think something or a stitching rubs onto it and leaves a mark with constant irritation during the ride. I think I need to fix this ASAP, but maybe it could alter on its own in due course, taking shape of my actual hands and thus helping in the cause. Hoping I could break into these quicker and to be even quicker.




5. Summary: 4/5

PROS:
Really cheap for the features & build provided
Great tech provided through material & comfort.
Excellent build quality.
Looks Good, especially with the Carbon Fiber on the knuckles, adds a lot of richness.

CONS:
Stitching could be taken care of at least from the inside, to avoid any kind of discomfort.
Being black and a dirt magnet, a cleaning kit would be of help.


DEALERS & AVAILABILITY:^st time for everything.

NOTE:
Apologies if any language used here was not meant to, and since this is my first review for XBhp would like as much feedback as I could to help me pen my next.

Re: Solace Passion In Depth Review

Hi all, I am also having a Solace Passion gloves which I got from Chennai dealer. It is about a month old now .
As I was not used with riding gloves, it took about a week to adjust with switch controls. Now the gloves is perfectly fit like a second skin.

I am seeing some thread raising in finger end ( index finger) would wait for further developments.

As this is about a 1000km old in Chennai weather , I would like to know how to clean the gloves. is it ok to wash it using detergent and water?

Re: Solace Passion In Depth Review

Hi all,

Please find the reply below from Solace for my query of cleaning the gloves
"HI
thanks for the feedback, you can try to clean it with normal detergent & water and wipe with a cloth then put under the fan to get it dry. thanks

Thanks & Best Regards
Team SOLACE"

I am currently cleaning the gloves as per their instructions.

Now the gloves is 5500km / 6 months young. Using it daily for office ride (20km one side). The gloves is comfortable for daily use. Don't sweat much.

One drawback which I feel in this gloves is lack of any foam / spongy material in the palm area ( Protection is provided , but a little foam would have helped).
While riding in heavy traffic conditions my palm is getting red due to constant pressure of protective part in the gloves.

The reflective parts in the gloves is getting faded off.

Other than these issues, the gloves is real VFM.
