It is far from flimsy and I have no doubt it’d remain secured in the event of a crash. ![]() The velcro – err, hook and loop – strap secures the gloves with confidence. The top portion of the glove and fingers uses a finer, softer leather the palm and side of the pinky finger use a thicker and a (presumably) more durable goatskin leather. The gloves don’t feel thick or obstructive. Leather thickness varies between 0.8mm and 0.9mm, which is protective enough while still remaining comfortable to wear. So far, both pieces of REAX gear I’ve seen hands-on have been made consistently well. As Kevin found in his review of the REAX Ridge gloves, construction on the Tasker is good quality which is good to see given the almost-premium price. The Tasker uses a mix of cow leather, goat leather, and polyester in its construction. The Tasker is a stealth glove that incorporates some nice features and conveniences. There’s no flashy graphics, contrast colors, or high-visibility markings. REAX branding appears in precisely two places: on top of the glove embossed into the leather, and on the tip of the rubber velcro strap. There are a couple of spots where the edge is not uniform, but the impact is 100% cosmetic and only something you’ll see if you’re consciously looking for it. Much of the glove is double stitched, including the reinforced sections on the palm, wrist pad, and all major seams. The fingers are also pre-curved, which helps comfort and to avoid seams. This is helpful for manipulating the clutch/brake, switches, etc. ![]() The thumb, index, and middle fingers use ribbed sections to improve dexterity.
