Klim Badlands Aero Pro Short Leather Gloves - Stealth Black

I have previously reviewed these gloves and did not purchase because I didn't feel they are suitable for road riding as they don't seem that well protected on the palm, and there is no double side layer, or stitching. however I am doing a desert rally, so these gloves are now perfect for this occasion

Tad pricey but a great glove, nice and cool, looking forward to testing in Africa

Great quality product, extremely comfortable with little to no break-in … very expensive but worth every penny, my go-to summer glove…

Great gloves just what is needed for summer.

Soft, beautifully made extremely comfortable fantastic airflow. But for this price they really offer very little protection by comparison to some other summer/lightweight gloves. Eg Revit Cayenne 2 and Dainese 4 stroke 2 both equally great summer /light weight gloves but with Knox sliders, double stitching and much better pinky finger protection. If you just want a light glove for off-road then these are fine. If you are doing any serious road miles aswell and want some basic palm/finger protection these don't stack up to alternative, and cheaper options unfortunately.

Very pricey for short summer gloves, but I suppose quality doesn't come cheap. Well made, flows air well, = no more sweaty palms. Cuffs could be a little longer though.

Excellent service as usual from the Sportsbikeshop.

Looking for a good vented summer glove I previously tried a pair of Klim Baja S4 - not a cheap glove in themselves. These felt fine in the shop but when riding I had a rubbing/pressure point on my left hand knuckles, so they had to go. I took the plunge and bought these as they are said to have more comfortable knuckle protection - but at not far off twice the price of the S4! Have been wearing them in the recent high temps and they have been great - comfortable and well vented. No knuckle problems at all. Since they are very much a hot weather glove I trust they will last a long time and I can forget about the price....as others have said, a quality item, highly recommended.

These gloves are not cheap but you get what you pay for I guess! The fit is excellent and the quality of materials used is exceptionally high. The finger seems are all outer stitched which adds to the comfort when wearing! Theses are a summer glove so not waterproof but more than adequately vented for good air flow! Well protected for a summer short glove and some nice little touches like the pull loops for easy putting on and the soft leather wrist trim! All in all a quality bit of kit!

Nothing bad to say about these gloves so far, apart from the excruciating price considering they're summer gloves, but I was well aware of that when I ordered them so can't complain. Appear to be extremely well made, very comfortable with the external stitching, the perforations are a lot bigger than other summer gloves I tried so they allow a lot of airflow, great for warm weather. I'm on a bike with handguards and 15 C commuting was fine, no handguards and they may not have been warm enough. Touchscreen fingers work well. Time will tell if they're worth the money but they're leather so providing they're properly cared for they should last. They look great too

A great glove, very soft right away, great ventilation. The only improvement I would make is to rotate the articulation on the thumbs so the.material flexes in line with the thumb as this is the only flaw I could find.

As always SBS great service and speedy delivery.

These gloves manage to pull off the tricky treble of being super comfortable whilst offering great protection and also looking uber cool. Soft and supple. Definitely only for warmer weather though. These gloves fitted me perfectly as I have wide hands but short fingers. It was a toss up between the L and the XL, I eventually went for the XL because my hands only expand in warm weather and I can put a pair of cotton liners inside in slightly cooler weather. SBS staff were ace, I tried about 8 pairs of different gloves on before purchasing these and it was no trouble at all for them.

You just know the gloves are quality as soon as you hold them . The fit for me is perfect ( I had a large ) and the leather is so soft and supple it's like wearing a pair of gloves you've had for years .
Would definitely recommend them for late spring / summer use .
SBS have once again been great from purchase to next day delivery. Thanks SBS

Only let down with internal stitching or ripple in leather irritating my finger. It's slowly becoming less noticeable after a few rides. Would have been 5 starts. For the price you might expect a perfectly comfy glove from the off. Especially as it's stated as external stitching. But do feel quality.

Good quality feel and nice gloves. Definitely require breaking on, internal seams can put pressure on fingertips and I needed to go a size up. Some rubbing on one knuckle (not quite a blister after 120 B-road miles) but I am confident this will stop once the gloves are broken in.

Top quality leather and construction. Very understated, armour where it's needed and nowhere else. Lots of feel when riding, lovely to wear, get more comfortable by the day. Mainly ridden in cooler conditions so far but with heated grips I love them so much I'm reluctant to shift to winter gloves! I've got big hands so went for the 3XL - they fit beautifully no pinching at the end of the fingers which some gloves can do.
