For maximum safety, buy new gloves after each ride.

Worth to note that i had a pair of Klim Induction gloves and after 10 months one of the gloves seem was ripped. Called Klim. They asked me to destroyed them and send them a picture to prove it, after which they send me a brand new pairs. Awesome customer service!

The old glove curled in fire to give the big finger lol.. Nice comparison man!

Please test a 5-year old helmet vs. a new one! Sometimes, I feel like the helmet manufacturers are full of shit, but you never know!

5:03 old glove didn't go down without a fight. Literally formed a middle finger at u hahahaha

Your seam strength test is also measuring how far the leather stretches before breaking force is applied to the seams. The old glove is already prestretched so of course there will be fewer turns of the spreader to tear the seam. The new leather stretches considerably before tearing force reaches the seam. You need a pull strength gauge to test seam strength accurately. Nice effort, though.

Middle finger 5:01

that pointing system is flawless lmao

It is now next week. I was promised cheap vs expensive test. Did retailers have you killed?

These test is pretty cool. Will you make a test Old Helmet VS New Helmet. Some people say they have a lifetime of 5 years.

Yay the Crash test weekly videos are back!

Great video as always!

@FortNine can you do a fabric comparison? Just a general side-by-side comparison of abrasion resistance between things like kevlar, leather, & the various common textiles.

Very nice editing and love the speed ups I prefer this over the old style

dude, your vids are entertaining and informative! keep being you and bless you buddy!

Great to see this test. Thanks!

LMAO .... just discovered your channel a couple months ago and love it ..... particularly the science / reviews combined with humor / witticisms!

@fattymcgee123 I think one has to accept the fact that these tests could be flawed in just about every way, but that you just expect a certain amount of integrity and honesty from him. Also when you look at the results, its not really that surprising to me. And at the end of the day I don't really see him pushing one product onto his subs or another, or any fishy sales tactics, or at least I don't feel that way. So I find these vids entertaining and they answer a lot of questions like what it looks like when you blow torch certain things etc. But that being said, freeze a glove, put it on and you'll gain a few seconds on the heat test, use a dead battery on a bb gun and you won't penetrate as much, or even a potentiometer or adjustable bb speed, also apply only slight pressure when grinding and then use a lighter bowling ball on the drop test etc etc haha I think one could manipulate just about every one of these tests, but again, it doesn't matter because there isn't really an agenda behind it and its for entertainment in the first place, and to educate. I think the results line up perfectly, foam wears out, looses integrity, leather thins and looses strength over time, stitching becomes weaker and so on. All good, great video. I enjoyed.

Welp, this definitely settled my internal debate of whether I should buy used gear or new gear as a first-time rider, haha. I'm only gonna be commuting on roads (not at highway speeds) but still want the best protection possible, within my low budget of about $500. I rode a moped when I was in high school and crashed it going like 10 mph and skinned + bruised my knees pretty bad, so I can only imagine the disaster it would be to crash at 50 mph without proper gear.

Can't wait for the next video

Watch all your videos before I buy anything. Subscribed!

Really enjoyed this video, always great to see good consumer advice! Certainly makes a change from the plethora of videos that just show "dank wheelies".... Made me think twice about buying secondhand gloves

really love your style

Nice video, definitely looking forward to seeing the helmet comparison. Bought my wife a cheap helmet I'd never heard of from craigslist only because she will RARELY ever go out on the bike with me. The one time I had her on it, she wouldn't let me leave the neighborhood and didn't want me to go over 20mph. So why spend a lot of money on a helmet that will almost NEVER get used... but then there is the fear of that one time I get her to take the bike on date night, and that happens to be the day things go wrong.

Badass video!

hell yeah!! the scorpion exo r410 finally in the test lab!

a fun comment-. Ryan you almost seem like a torture master with these tests you run with scissors and all 😁

Cool, you're going to crash test the same R710 helmet I wear! Looking forward to it.

Next episode looks really interesting! Cant wait :|

Can you please do "New vs Used Helmet" using the same brand and model?

more new vs old!

This is useful but it just raises even more questions now like whether any used gear is worth buying without knowing how hard they've been abused.

you deserve more subs

Should do this kind of test with a 2yr old helmet and a brand new but otherwise identical helmet (I've seen this tested, SPOILER: things don't go well for the old helmet, the results were shocking). People often see the wear on their gloves, jacket etc and replace them but helmets tend to look the same over time, but the components (EPS, polycarbonate, the glue used to bond them etc) dry out over time and lose serious strength. I would recommend that riders should replace their helmet at a maximum of every 3 years, and preferably every 2 years, even if it's never been dropped or abused.

Try cheep leather jacket vs alpine star (or icon and dainese) mesh jacket

Love it

Curious, did you put leather conditioner or some other treatment on your gloves from time to time over the course of your using them?

Hi, can you please recommend/ do a video on the best clothes for Sport touring bikes? There are things to consider like protection, long ride comfort, ventilation and most importantly STYLE :-D I mean there are clothes you wear on a motocross bike, for supersport leader bike etc. But what goes best to for example BMW F800ST? Thanks for help!

Are you guys doing a meetup on the first Saturday in August? If so might have to take a ride up

can you guys tried the KYT helmet? im really curious about the quality, even though it's DOT rated.

Forgive me, but I'm going make a wild guess. Water is the 'universal solvent', and the degradation in the water resistance of the gloves contributed to the softening and leeching out of natural oils in the leather; loss of fire and abrasion resistant chemical coatings and contributed to softening of the armour pad structure. If that theory is correct, then all other motorcycle clothing that is not kept regularly water-resist reproofed is suspect after only a couple of years. Just sayin'

I bought a pair of gloves, oakley tacticle gloves, all leather design with some mesh type leather at the bottom, and armored knuckles, the inside foamy but the outside hard plastic with a carbon fiber vinley, it seems strong… im not sure, ivr seen reviews for them as motorcycle gloves but it could be a paid reviewer… maybe you should check them out. Love the content

@FortNine Hi, recent sub here, really glad I found your channel which is, at least, on a pair with Revzilla. Appreciate the effort behind the tests, but they're a bit cringe. I think you'd be just as good as commenting on it and comparing with similar products. On the pro side, you're definitely providing something different and that's cool, anyway keep it up!

The squishing up could be less on the new glove because the fabric is still stiff, whereas the old one has been worn in.

When it comes to testing abrasion strength, could you not place a metal plate inside the glove and time it to when you get the first spark? That way you don't have to keep turning the glove over and checking to see if it's worn through.

Can you do a review of the Shark Vancore? I'm tempted to buy one because it looks badass, it has that fighter jet styling that I absolutely love. I'd expect it to be noisier than my s900, that I can live with for urban riding. However- The goggles look like the vision radius is greatly reduced, and the chin bar isn't safety approved (but what exactly does that mean? will it shatter on impact?) FortNine, Should I stay away?

The way the gloves curled up is the same way my finger curled up after burning it from picking up a metal or copper?, benson burner making the skin white. It wasn't visually lit but the gas was on and after it failed to visually lite with a liter I assumed it was safe to move and disconnect. Any explanation why it was so hot even when there wasn't a jet flame

Ah, interesting test

Mental note: do not run into a burning building, wearing motorcycle gloves. :-D I suspect there's probably some (at least higher-priced racing gloves/gear) with some Nomex content?

Interesting but I think its important to point out that this is in now way a scientific test. The sample size is too small and the methods too variable to really draw any conclusions

Try fox dirtpaw gloves

Those gloves under the burn test looked like living creatures slowly dying, then finally curled up and died... Poor things, lol

Please do a review of the 2017 KTM 390 Duke.

Didn't like this video all that much. But thumbs up anyway because you're awesome 99.9% of the time. Please continue to not suck.

If you put colored sand in the glove you could know exactly when the sander busts through

Holy shit, I need to replace my gear. Do helmets and jackets next!

I think the "Old" part of the title is a bit misleading, i think "Used" would be more accurate.

Looking forward to the cheap vs R710 helmet...since that (R710) is what I have protecting my melon.

You should add fuel helmet from Walmart that is only 50 bucks and very popular

Please do a video on how to tell a good glove from a bad glove

Premium helmet companies always compare to ultra-sketchy cheap helmets. A more apt comparison would be high-end vs legitimate-entry-level, like Bilt or Sedici. I suspect that's never done because the result would be closer. Only 6D and Bell Flex offer safety tech not available in 1960.

Notification squad!!!!

Can anyone tell me the motorcycle make and model 30 seconds in at the start please?

Will you review sky cycle m1 moto glove

Next week, I've heard that motorcycle helmets are tested only up to 35 MPH. My prediction is that the cheapie helmet fails at 15 MPH.

so...... new gloves annually, got it

Do a jacket.

If water didnt brake the glove then it is water proof. Right?

"New vs Used Motorcycle HELMET " Please.

Plz comparing these indian brands jackets ASPIDA Odysseus Air vs bbh I live I ride vs Zeus airdrift vs Zeus Apollo vs rynox stealth Evo

Crash test a motorcycle backpack vs school bag/hydration bag

What is the song/music used @ 2.50sec.

What the flying fuck is youtube doing?! I got this and like 3 or 4 other ancient vids as saying they are new uploads.

Anyone know the song at 2:50

base on this test, how long often should I replace my gloves?

Do a fly racing trekker ds helmet

"Buy the way this visually looks" eh, is there another visual?

The glove under fire looks like it's trying to grab the flame like a dying witch

"Twist of the wrist"... The glove was on the left hand.

I'm going to guess without watching the video. You hate used because your store only sells new stuff.

What about old helmets

Strange way to compare gloves ... fire?

Not really scientific tests... Maybe eliminate more variables next time. Just a thought. Decent guideline though, good enough to give you an idea.

Is no science involved, sweat degrade the condition of the gear.

20k kms? pfft. i do that in one season :(

Have you done this with helmets? Please do. I think the expiration date on helmets is mostly marketing bs. Sure plastics and foams degrade over time, but not significantly. Prove me wrong...

I broke in my boots and gloves after falling 3 times and being dismissed from the MSF course lol.Hard trying to keep at everyone's pace when you're the only one that has never been on a motorcycle

Those gloves literally look like they're dying. Poor things.

27 dislikes are from poor peaople who cant buy new gear. like me. (i bought a new pair of knox handroids btw)

cryptic. dood.

why do they get tested by getting shot at, should they keep me safe from people shooting at me while riding

First

All those tearing and stretching tests are totally out of context and non-repetitive in nature, not representative to anything. If you change any force applied, even its direction, you will get different results. Error margin: I guess some 80% of measured values. That you always get desired ratio old vs new: well, that's marketing disguised behind 'testing'. Unfortunately.

Ok. I usually love these vids... But on this one I noticed something. You did the abrasion test and the old glove already had a spot in the leather that was broken open. I think this video is just to push this product.

What crap gloves

Cpt. Obvious.....

man, what kind stupid tests... a ball? Really? you should test them on the road, facing the glove to the ground... not a fucking airsoft bullets... come onn....
