Re: Solace Bravo Full Gauntlet Gloves Review

Wanted to add something to this review.
I have the updated version of solace bravo glove with thicker padding on palms,wrists and overall a good upgrade from the previous version and this retails at 2999/-

Here is my take on it.

Solace bravo gloves Pro's and Con's

Pro's :-

1) Comfortable (It's comfortable for long rides and is not a race fit glove , can also be used for touring)
2) ‎Fit (After doing a proper break-in)
3) ‎Protection (Palm protection is good as compared to Trg2 in this price range)
4) ‎ Double layer leather in palm area and last little finger for more abrasion.
5) ‎Grippy material on palms (solace calls it silicon, whatever may be the name it works and helps you grip better)
6) ‎Perforation in fingers and upper wrist area (It really helps on hot days)
7) ‎Overall build quality.
8) ‎Inner lining feels very comfortable and and yours soaks your sweat.( Never found sweaty hands in this gloves)
9) ‎Rubber Brand logo smartly put on side of the the wrist which may help in a slide.
10) A plastic hook stitched to put both the gloves together.
11) ‎Stretchable material on a pre-curved fingers to comfortability and ease of movement of fingers.


Cons :-
1) Feels really crammed for first 5-10 rides before break-in.
2) ‎Not suitable for rains as it water gets soaked and leather may shrink due to it (It may not be a con as it's a leather but still mentioning it)
3) ‎Gauntlet is short but adequate and not long as Trg2 or others.
4) Gauntlet is not as wide as other gloves and you may not be able to put your jacket cuff inside the glove ( atleast i'm not able to do that)
5) ‎No bridge between last pinkie finger and Ring finger a co-joined finger helps in a crash as pinkie finger breaks easily in an event of crash.
6) ‎Branding all over the glove which i personally don't like.
7)‎Not a double closure gauntlet as seen in cramster.
8) Touchable material on index finger doesn't work with my phone atleast ,your case may vary.

A glove that i would recommend for sport touring and long rides as it's comfi and not a race fit glove but also provide ample protection on required areas with adequatly long gauntlet.

Re: Solace Bravo Full Gauntlet Gloves Review

Hi Somesh ,I have the same model and agree with you on the Pros.

For the Cons, I got caught in rain and the gloves became wet, after drying them out, I am seeing a discoloring on my gloves. I used Woodland leather polish neutral but no effect. So it's a definite no no for riding in rains.

Additionally the velcro to tighten the wrist fit looks like it might not last the distance.

Re: Solace Bravo Full Gauntlet Gloves Review

Definitely i too noticed dullness after the rain, can't say about tightning of wrists straps.
