Five gloves.

[u/YourMissing10]

How the hell do I get ahold of a pair of five gloves? Their website shows the only dealer in Washington state to be an eagle leather that does not actually carry five gloves (I even called and asked). Amazon carries some five gloves but their stock is severely limited to women’s or in sizes that don’t fit me. Am I just SOL? I really want to try on a pair of SF1 evos.

I’ve tried on every glove in cycle gear with a hard palm slider and leather palm and so far nothing fits well.

Yeah welcome to gear shopping in America. You can try to order gloves online with cyclegear. If you have their membership returns are free. That’s really the best thing you can do aside from in person stores, which are very few and far between.

[u/YourMissing10 → u/jake1406]

I ordered a pair of whatever revzilla had in stock in hopefully my size so I can at least fit check and see if it’s worth the effort to get the gloves I want.

Five gloves has stopped supplying American vendors to resist the tangerine terror and all of his bullshit tariffs. You can order from overseas but you won't find any in america

Source: I've been looking for months (wound up ordering rst tracktexh Evo 4 and they're fucking awesome

Tariffs + limited supply. Restock is coming sept 15th.

This is the way. Just got mine two weeks ago, shipped from Whittier, CA

Curious,When did you order?, i have an order from April still not delivered in August

[u/GonzoMycoBio → u/wackytacker33]

August 9th! Their tracking is not wonderful. I got them about 10 days later

I also have been looking for the SF1 but those seem to have been discontinued for the SF1 EVO and even those are difficult to find. I would call some other stores around the US that have them and ask if you can have them shipped to you. I tried calling a few store in LA and they were happy to ship them out if you order through them. I was lucky enough to find out that there was 1 store in NJ that was about 45 mins from me that sold the RFX1 Evo in my size and it is a very good glove. More than what I need for around the city riding but very good gloves nonetheless.

I got a five glove through revzilla. Only problem is in very short time some threads started coming loose.

I bought a pair of SF1 Evo from motostorm.it. However, it also cost me $32 USD in tariff. I also got a pair of RFX1 Evo from https://five-gloves-us.com/. The latter was a recent order , purchased about 3 weeks back, I received it within a week.

I order online. In EU the situation is not much better than in the US. Five is a small company - they seem to be very good at producing what they actually sell. In the past few years I have had to purchase from them quite strategically - the size guides are accurate for me, btw - I decide what I want around january/february - if it is a niche five product, like RFX1 Race in an unpopular colorway, on of the several Five resellers might have discounted stock. If it is a popular model, I visit re-sellers every week or two until late march, when I start checking every two days or so. In the beginning of April, there is usually stok available, at least that was the case for the past three years. I order and get the gloves about three days later.

Buy them from Fortnine in Canada

[u/YourMissing10 → u/eranothe]

They won’t ship to the US unfortunately. I wanted to buy some stuff from them before. Big fan of their YouTube channel.

[u/Senior_Indication_66]

Try Racer Gloves. If you have any questions, hit me up.

[u/itz_dom]

I’d find whatever Euro based site that has em in stock and buy them . FIVE has Best gloves I’ve ever owned. They feel like a second skin, very tactile, nearly like riding with my bare hands while still having KP2 protection, shits genuinely insane

[u/YourMissing10 → u/itz_dom]

Are you rocking gauntlets? I don’t see any short gloves that have higher than kp1.

[u/YourMissing10 → u/YourMissing10]

Just rewatched f9s glove video and just learned that’s exactly what that means.

[u/itz_dom → u/YourMissing10]

Yeah I’m rocking the gauntlets RFX2 airflows. I believe the ratings changed recently as well so short gloves can no longer receive KP2 , but the old version of the SF1’s used to have It

[u/darkit1979]

Just order them from Europe. The only problem is you should know your size because returning is a pain.
P.S. I loved five but then I tried held titan and that’s completely different story.

[u/bike619]

I got a pair from RevZilla. RSC Evo when they were still in stock. I sized based on their chart recommendation. They are a bit on the snug side, but I’m hoping they will break in a stretch. (90% of my gloves have been large. These are Medium)

ETA: so far I really like them… longevity will tell how much I continue to like them.

[u/National-Dragonfly35]

Geez they aren’t that great…just get another brand
