RS Taichi GP-WRX race gloves

[Dustin]

I just picked up a pair of RS Taichi GP-WRX gloves in black off of Craigslist. The guy bought them off STG and they were too small. I tried them on and they fit quite well so I offered him $80. He reluctantly accepted so that means I got them for half price.

First impressions:

- Great looking
- Well made, nice build quality
- Excellent protection. Full carbon protection on the fingers and knuckles as well as carbon palm sliders. Top of liner reinforced with kevlar weave, too

- Not as supple or soft as my Five RFX but I think they will fit perfectly when they break in.

Even at full price, I think these are excellent value. If the quality holds true, I'm pleased.

I admit, I love buying gear. My Five gloves were perfectly fine and VERY comfortable but I just wanted something more armoured. I can't help myself sometimes

WOW
Professional grade equipment! Nice find
I was watching a Tai Chi racing suit on Ebay and it was pretty cheap......until the last 3 days. Went for $1,400 and change. :O

I have these, the GP-1, basically a step below the GP-WRX. I love mine.
I use them for street riding. Looks like you got a great deal on them.

There are dozens of hours on these now and they are indeed breaking in well. There were lots of tight spots before, some causing mild pain at times. I endured and now they're very comfortable
