The Trading Post #3: Gloves, helmets, dirt pants and cruiser boots
Welcome to the Trading Post
This is the weekly dispatch from Yardstick Outfitters. Every week we post a handful of real gear deals for every riding style, a fit tip from our sourced fit guides, and news about the service.
Yardstick saves your measurements once, translates them into each brand's own size chart (Euro cuts and brand quirks included), and watches retailers for a great price in your size. It's free: we alert you to a deal, and you always check out on the retailer's own site yourself.
This week's deals
Last week leaned on jackets. This week we go head to toe instead: women's street gloves, an adventure helmet, a retro full-face, motocross pants and a cruiser boot.
Price as of Oct 28, 2026, as shown on the retailer's product page. Prices, sizes and colors change fast; check the page before you buy. Listed price is the retailer's own comparison price as shown on their page when we checked; we haven't verified past selling prices. Some prices apply to select sizes or colors only.
Dainese Blackshape Leather Women's Gloves, RevZilla
$89.97 (retailer's listed price $149.00, 40% below the retailer's listed price). Street. Sizes are limited. Dainese's women's chart puts each letter at a smaller hand than Alpinestars' or Klim's, so see the fit tip below before you pick one.

New guide: motorcycle glove sizing
We published Motorcycle Glove Sizing: Alpinestars vs Klim vs Dainese vs REV'IT!, with each brand's official chart side by side, in centimeters and inches, men's and women's, and a source for every number.
Fit tip: don't carry a glove letter between brands
Measure around your palm, just behind the knuckles, without the thumb. Alpinestars says to measure both hands and use the larger one; REV'IT! says to use your dominant hand. Then look that number up on each brand's own chart. On the official charts, a 21.5 cm hand is a Medium at Alpinestars and REV'IT!, but a Small at Klim. Women's charts spread even wider: an 18.5 cm hand is an Alpinestars women's Small, a Klim women's XS, and falls between Dainese women's Medium (17.8 cm) and Large (19.1 cm). Dainese lists one number per size rather than a range, so check the size guide on the exact product page. The full charts and sources are in the glove sizing guide.
