SlickWeevil Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I am thinking of getting some white leather RST gloves to match my partially white A*'s jacket. What has been your experience with white leather gloves? Do they look like crap after a few rides in the rain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted September 2, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2018 I have white gloves, a couple pairs actually and they still look good, as do my white leather suits. The key is to clean them often and don’t let the grunge build up. I’ll typic grab some baby wipes when I get home and wipe down my gear. I also have leather cleaner that I’ll use after a few rides or if I start to see dirty spots. As far as how they look after a rain, that I can’t tell you as one, So Cal doesn’t get much rain and if it does rain, I’m typically in gear that is meant for wet weather and that isn’t my white gloves.

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted September 2, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted September 2, 2018 hahahaha Back in the 80's, my brother bought a pair of RWB leather summer gloves.... One rainy day later, his hands were RWB too. Took weeks to wear off... I reckon 3 decades on, dye technology HAS moved on.... 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickWeevil Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks for the replies! I'm pretty fastidious about my gear and bike. Jacket gets a wipe down when I get home or the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted September 5, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted September 5, 2018 I think white gloves will add to conspicuosity. One cannot be conspicuous enough. (Check my tag line.) If they fade, get some leather/shoe polish and shine them up. No Problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
