Spidi STR-3 Vent Leather Gloves

The STR-3 Vent glove is a brand new offering from Spidi for 2013. This full gauntlet is aimed at the aggressive sport rider and combines track-ready protection with a well ventilated, flexible feel that can keep you comfortable on a long ride. The sturdy leather construction is abrasion resistant from the start, but this isn’t the only aspect that keeps your hands safe.

Starting at the fingertips, you will notice that while each digit has its own unique protection scheme, they are all are guarded by multiple layers of material. These include Clarino, vented sliders, layered leather, and energy absorbing foam. The knuckles are well protected as well, since they are covered by the same carbon fiber protector found on higher end Spidi gloves like the Carbo-3 and the top-of-the-line Carbo Track. It is shaped into ridges that not only cut through the air better, but also help the gloves slide without catching the ground in the event of a fall. Moving to the opposite side of the glove, the cowhide palm is reinforced with Clarino and energy absorbing foam. One of the standout features is also found here - Spidi’s Warrior Tech armor. Spidi first used this unique armor on the Carbo Track glove, and now it has made it’s way down the line to the STR-3, where it protects the scaphoid bone. This is a commonly injured area and the added protection is a nice touch.

As their name suggests, the STR-3 Vent gloves are vented for enhanced comfort in warm weather. Perforated leather in the fingers work with a large vent behind the knuckles to keep air flowing around your hand. This comfort doesn’t only apply to warm days, however. The gloves have a supple, flexible feel and an excellent lining that make them very easy to wear for long periods of time.
