Probiker PR-14: Everything is actually right with the Probiker: a snug fit, good contact feeling, many safety features. And there are no wet fingers!

3/17
Orina Brad: Brad can not only convince Angelina, but also the MOTORRAD testers. But not completely: a small failure in the wetness test!
mps photo studio
4/17
Modeka Lorenzo: hard shell for the ankles, padded edges. That is exemplary. Less good: the stripping protection and the cutting in the wetness test.

5/17
Ixs Sumba: Actually an excellent glove that has what it takes to be “very good”. Unfortunately, it fails with a 50 percent failure rate in the wetness test.

6/17
Germot Tennessee: Even the complete failure in the wetness test is a disaster, but the Germot gloves also lack the feel-good factor in the driving tests.
mps photo studio
7/17
Germas Orlando: Motorcycling? Probably not with these gloves. The Germas has major weaknesses in too many test chapters.
mps photo studio
8/17
Difi Brick: Convinces when you grab the handlebars and sits bomb-proof. Only when it rains can you get wet fingers all too quickly with the Difis.
mps photo studio
9/17
Bullson RW7 Limit: Well-equipped all-rounder that scores above all with a great fit. But weakens slightly in our rain simulation.
mps photo studio
10/17
Buse Groover: everyday glove with proper equipment. Doesn’t show any real weaknesses when driving, but fails in our wetness test.
Dentges
11/17
Orina Brad did the best for Jorg Lohse.
Ari van der Ems
12/17
Red card for nine out of eleven tested candidates. The all-rounders did poorly in the wet test in particular.
Ari van der Ems
13/17
Into the water: And then feel where it might seep into the water. Part one in the wetness test. Only five of the eleven test pairs really hold tight.
Ari van der Ems
14/17
But not out with the water: In part two, a second pair is filled. Only three models did not leak a droplet.

15/17
Road Tour 2.0: More 0: 2 than 2.0 – no robust grip, little comfort and a number of processing weaknesses, as our wetness test shows.
mps photo studio
16/17
Racer Cloudy 2: Without any faults or blame in the wetness test, and the racer also cuts a fine figure on the handles. Can still improve in terms of equipment.
Lohse
17/17
Thorsten Dentges opted for the Probiker PR-14, which ultimately deservedly won the test.

11 inexpensive gloves in the test
Weaknesses and total failures
Waterproof motorcycle gloves for a maximum of 50 euros in a comparison test. MOTORRAD discovered glaring weaknesses in safety and total failures in moisture protection.

The fact is: Germany’s motorcyclists don’t like gloves. But why? Are good motorcycle gloves just too expensive? A look at the online shops and catalogs shows you better: almost everyone has an all-rounder in their range that can be used universally with a weatherproof climate membrane and costs less than 50 euros. The question that remains for our test is: are such motorcycle gloves good for anything?

All in all, the really well-made motorcycle gloves in this price league are in the minority. Only one of eleven pairs of gloves got the top grade “very good”, four others still got a “good”, but all with restrictions. We mercilessly pull out the red card for the rest of the field.

This is how MOTORRAD tests
Before the first test drive, the telephone wire was glowing: Who has which gloves in their range for a maximum of 50 euros? Eleven providers were ultimately able to deliver and sent the classic entry-level all-rounder in various sizes to the editorial office.
After viewing the goods, we went on an extensive test lap with two bikes from the MOTORRAD long-term test fleet (KTM 1190 Super Duke, Honda Africa Twin) in the best spring weather. Accelerate, couple, brake – which motorcycle glove gives you the best feeling of contact with the base?
Ari van der Ems
In part two, a second pair is filled. Only three models did not leak a droplet.
During the subsequent dry run, the testers then assessed the fit in the various sizes and assessed the anti-slip protection.
In order to test the guaranteed rain suitability, two couples, who had already been registered in the test drives, were confronted with plenty of water (see photos): once in the immersion bath, once through a filling test, through which leaks in the climate membrane become visible.

MOTORCYCLE
Just two of the eleven suppliers manage to supply us with really tight motorcycle gloves. The best job was done at Louis. Deserved test victory for the Probiker PR-14!
Is it worth choosing an inexpensive all-rounder? When looking at the final tabs, disillusionment sets in. Not every motorcycle glove in the entry-level league can do everything really well. Either a spongy feel or inadequacies in carrying comfort interfere. The poorly fixed food is particularly annoying for many test subjects. Once undressed, the inner workings have already twisted.
When you put it on for the second time, you just want to fire the things into the corner in exasperation. Then there is the disastrous result of the wetness test. Just two of the eleven suppliers manage to supply us with really tight motorcycle gloves. The best job was done at Louis. Deserved test victory for the Probiker PR-14!
