【FIVE】STUNT EVO 2 AIR FLOW [StuntEvo TwoAir flow] Gloves Review

Large sturdy?

I looked for this item in several stores and couldn't find it, so I looked at the stunt evo that was available and bought this one from Net as a reference.
The size seems to be slightly larger than stunt evo. (stunt evo was M and JUST, but this is M and a little bit large. I have long fingers.)

The thing that bothered me the most was the lack of protection on the outside of the thumb. In the gloves I have used so far, even for summer use, the outside of the thumb had Large, Small, or Protection. It may have been just a leather pad, or it may have contained urethane. This is not the case, but rather, the thinnest material among the materials that make up these Gloves is used. (In the black/white model, the white part of the thumb is this material.) I feel that this material is weaker than the material at the crotch of the finger, which is considered to be safe even if it is weak. I think there is a merit that the thinness of the material does not hinder the movement of the thumb, but I do not think such a merit is important in the case of a large model.
Is this the part of the body where you don't get hit if you fall over? I have a bone protrusion and I feel like I need a decent amount of protection. I haven't had a fall in about 30 years so I can't judge. It looks thin and weak, but maybe it's actually strong. If so, I'm sorry.
The other thing is that the Velcro is cheaply made. It is hard to believe that the price is over 10,000 yen for a pair of Gloves. Maybe stunt evo was better.

The good thing is that the palm side is leather for summer use. Many products for summer use are not made of leather, or are made of suede, which seems to be weak.
I can't say for sure since I haven't run yet, but the ventilation on the instep side seems to be very good.
It looks tough with knuckle protector, etc., but black looks plain at a glance, so you may not choose your car model comparatively. (I have a CLASSIC type other than STREETFIGHTER type, but I think it can be used for that as well.)

To be honest, if I had seen it in person at a store, I probably wouldn't have bought it. View detail

Good basic performance, but room for improvement in details

I usually wear a M size, and I chose a M size this time as well.
I have often been told that FIVE has a large thumb, but this time it is a normal size, but the other four fingers are long and slender, and there is a bit of extra room.

good point
Knuckle fit and ventilation
The outside of the knuckle guard is made of hard resin, and the inner honeycomb-shaped part is made of soft rubber, which also serves as a cushion.
There is no urethane inside the knuckle, which allows for good ventilation and a good fit, but not as good as the Floating construction.
Breathability
I can feel the wind from about 60 km, even below that I have the sensation of being ventilated.
The fingers are covered with RubberPrint, which makes the ventilation feel weak.
? Smoke Touch
The index finger and thumb correspond to Touch, the index finger is just the fingertip and the thumb is just the belly.
Sensitivity is good, although detailed operation is not possible.

A bad point
Shoes
The narrow opening of the shoes is good if they are dry, but it will be difficult in mid-summer when sweat increases.
Wrist tabs are thin and difficult to operate because there is no Elastic band or Knob.
There is no Tab to pull when mounting.
Protective properties
The previous generation had leather on the middle and Small fingers and Pad on the thumb joint and wrist bone, but not this work.
I feel that the protective properties are decreasing.
Wearability
Knuckle section is good, but the 4 fingers are thinner and the feel is not so good due to Inner Sewing.

The texture and workmanship is good, but it is disappointing compared to the SF1 and the previous generation RFX1, which impressed me with its Fit and protection.
I was a bit harsh and gave it 3 stars because I felt it was not as good as FIVE's previous products, but it is usually a good quality product and would be good for those who are looking for new summer gloves. View detail
