REV'IT! Kryptonite 3 GTX Gloves
The REV’IT! Kryptonite 3 GTX gloves truly are bad weather’s, well, Kryptonite. When colder temperatures and rainy conditions try to keep you from your two-wheeled urban adventures, these gloves will keep your hands warm, dry, and comfortable.
Water be gone Using the selectively bonded GORE-TEX grip construction, tactility is improved through the fingertips, and water is kept out. That said, hands can still breathe easy and let the moisture escape when you’re working hard at navigating the city streets. Just because it’s cold outside, doesn’t mean you have to be. And when temperatures are on the cooler side, the inclusion of 100 grams of 3M™ Thinsulate™ at the top of the hand helps keep the cold at bay.
Functionality and features When the rain is relentless it’s likely you need more functionality from your gloves. We answered that call. And speaking of calls, if you need to answer them or use any functions on your touchscreen, we’ve included the Connect Finger Tip at not only the index finger, but also at the thumb. And with a visor wiper that now has a larger surface on the pointer finger, along with more reflection than ever before on the Kryptonite 3 GTX, these gloves have both functionality and useful features to help you effortlessly navigate life on two wheels in the city.
Safety in the seams A new hard shell PVC knuckle shape has been created for this model, and the additional of a hard protector at the little finger only adds to the impressive safety resumé. Furthermore, you’ll find a TPU palm slider on the short-cuffed Kryptonite 3 GTX gloves.

Sizing Information
We find REV’IT! gloves to run a bit on the snug side as compared to most US based brands… much like Alpinestars. This glove is not so snug that I’d recommend you buy one size larger than normal, but certainly if you are between sizes, then choosing the larger of the two should work. Hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help
