Helimot H-20 Glove Review

I wore my Helimot Kangaroo Palm H20s this weekend for the 1st time.

I rode 183 miles of back country , hilly , twisty roads at very agressive speeds on my BMW S 1000 RR Super bike.

I must say that I was very impressed w, the Gloves.

3 minutes after I sped off on my ride, ( I forgot I had on different Gloves than my Held Titans I have been wearing ) other than the fact that they were very comfortable they felt pretty normal.

Very easy to operate the controls and as the miles quickliy went by the Gloves seemed to become more comfortable .

Normally after 100 miles my hands start to hurt a bit but even after 183 miles my hands felt as fresh as if I hadn't ridden at all.

There is extra padding in the heel of the Gloves that absorbs the pressure of my weight against the grips.

For $220 plus $5.50 USPS from CA to Ohio I think these Gloves are a winner.

They are made right in Helimot's facility in San Jose , California.

I gave Helmut ( the owner )  some measurements of my fist and fingers on a Tuesday I believe, and he had the Gloves made and shipped that Friday and I had them the next Tuesday.YEMV

Thanks, Dolph.  Just got mine this week and I'm happy to see the thumb area is completely different than my Helds.  Doesn't look like they will fall apart the same way.   They also have less stitching in the fingers.  They are breaking in nicely and are very comfortable.
