RST Axiom CE WP

RST Axiom CE WP Front

RST offer a wide variety of motorcycle clothing to suit all riding styles and all budgets. The RST Axiom CE WP is a glove for a lower budget - let's see what it has to offer:

Safety

The RST Axiom Waterproof CE Motorcycle Gloves are made from super-resistant MaxTex with carbon knuckle protectors, double layer leather at the palms and padding in critical areas. CE certified to 1KP. Subtle reflective detailing gives night visibility.

Styling

The Axiom WP is a longer styled glove with a muted black styling with reflective detailing incorporated into the design.

Comfort

The Axiom gloves are pre-curved for comfort in the riding position. A breathable Sinaqua waterproof membrane keeps your hands dry. The extended wrist and Velcro wrist closure prevents wind ingress. Accordion detailing in key areas provides plenty of movement for comfortable wear.

Practicality

The most practical feature of the Axiom WP is the waterproof Sinaqua membrane that is fully breathable to not only protect from showers but from sweaty palms too. Adjustability at the wrist along with elasticated detailing provides the perfect fit. The high-visibility afford by the reflective detailing is another highly practical feature. The length is also very practical for colder weather and prevents weather ingress. Double leather in key areas gives added durability.

Negatives

The waterproof membrane is not Gore-Tex. Gore-Tex is notorious for being the best brand of a waterproof membrane. This glove has a suggested retail price of £29.99. You need to realise that a glove under £30 is not going to offer the same whistles and bells as one at £130.

Verdict

For the price, the Axiom WP CE glove is a great glove. It is CE approved and waterproof. However, manage your expectations. It's a great glove for £29.99 - don't expect too much from it.

Until next time, stay safe,
