  • Solace Passion Gloves � The Experience So Far



    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.

    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
    http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/general-biking-discussion/31367-review-solace-sprint-mesh-jacket-who-saves-my-life.html

    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.
