Scott's performance clothing collection is aimed at passionate cyclists who value speed, aerodynamics and weight. In addition to helmets, jerseys and pants, the range includes the Scott RC Premium Kinetech LF Glove. Equipped with Kinetech technology, this model is currently the company's most advanced glove. Of course, the glove raises expectations, but can they be fulfilled?
Structure, materials and processing
A key feature is the back of the hand made from breathable Kinetech fabric. The strategically placed knobs should ensure improved aerodynamics and better gliding. Due to the high retraction force with less muscle vibration, the material should also ensure greater muscle compression and therefore less muscle fatigue. The Second Skin palm construction without additional padding is intended to maximize dexterity and grip. The palm is perforated from the fingertips to the bottom to increase breathability. The slip-on construction makes it easy to take off and put on.
Scott RC Premium Kinetech LF glove put to the test
Processing and cut are convincing right from the start. The glove fits the hand like a second skin. What is striking is that the fit has been optimized for the position on the handlebars. Thumb and fingers don't really want to do anything other than grip the racing bar. The innovative Kinetech fabric impresses with its high elasticity and breathability. The temperature regulation of the material knows how to inspire even in summer heat. The palm is also great, both in terms of grip and grip. By doing without additional padding, the glove offers direct contact with the handlebars and thus good tactile feedback. All in all a successful overall package: Even on long rides, there are no sensory disturbances in the hands and fingers.
Conclusion Scott RC Premium Kinetech LF
At this point we can neither confirm nor refute whether the glove really makes you faster thanks to the Kinetech technology. Let's put it this way: what the legs can't do, the gloves can't make up for. But the fact is that the RC Premium Kinetech LF Glove is very comfortable to wear and offers powerful grip on the racing bar. The workmanship is also impressive. With the purchase you definitely don't make a mistake!
