RS Taichi touring gloves at BigBike are aimed at rain, daily riding and light ADV use in Saigon. The thicker liner is something riders should feel for themselves at the handlebar. Try the gloves on in-store, check the wide loop cuff, then test the touchscreen fingers before choosing a size.
RS Taichi states that the DryMaster waterproof membrane keeps water out while allowing moisture from the hand to escape. Hands stay dry during continuous rain. That makes this group suitable for wet daily riding and touring. Waterproof does not mean warm. High-heat drying can damage the membrane, so shake off water after rain and let the gloves dry naturally.
Measure around the widest part of the hand, excluding the thumb, with the hand slightly cupped. The product-page sizing chart lists 22 cm at S through 26 cm at XXL. If the measurement sits between sizes, choose the larger size because the liner is thicker. Try on in-store before buying, since the chart cannot show whether that liner presses at the knuckles.
The thicker liner changes how the glove feels at the controls. It gives less precise control feel than thin summer leather gloves. Summer gloves, however, get wet in rain and take longer to dry. Choose this touring group when rain matters more than fine control feel. For dry-weather riding where sensitivity matters more, the thinner summer option is the better match.
The knuckle protection is hard TPU, and the palm padding is TPU with softer foam. This is basic protection for street riding and touring, not a substitute for carbon protection on race gloves. It helps reduce injury; no gear offers total protection. For track riding, choose a race-glove category instead. This group is for street and touring.
This group suits daily riding. The product page states RST451 weighs 164g per glove. The index finger and thumb work with phone screens. The wide loop cuff goes on quickly without step-by-step strap adjustment and favors quick entry over a close wrap. Try the gloves on and hold a parked bike's handlebar to feel how the thicker liner sits at the knuckles.
This category is not a winter glove. Deep cold still calls for an extra thermal liner. Rain protection alone does not replace that layer. For a cold mountain ride, plan the thermal liner separately. Choose this group for rain, daily street use or light ADV, not as a winter-only glove.
BigBike has operated since 2014 at 79/30/52 Au Co, Hoa Binh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. Try the gloves on, hold a parked bike's handlebar to check knuckle pressure from the thicker liner, then test touchscreen use on your phone. A sizing chart cannot show that fit.
