I purchased the Viaterra V3 Tundra gloves and used them on a long ride from Hyderabad to Ujjain to Delhi between 25 December and 28 December. Initially, they felt slightly difficult to manage. The hand contact on the accelerator was reduced, and I had to stretch a bit to reach the clutch lever. That said, the build quality stood out from the very first day.
During the ride, we encountered extreme cold, around 2 to 3 degrees in some stretches near Nanded and on the return towards Hyderabad, along with strong winds and even a brief spell of rain. In those conditions, the gloves were integral to both safety and comfort. They performed exactly as expected and lived up to their name. Four of us were riding, all using the same gloves, and every one of us had a very positive experience.
These gloves are not ideal as an everyday city pair. They can feel slightly cumbersome to put on and remove for short rides. However, for any ride beyond 50 to 75 kilometers, I can personally vouch for their comfort, protection, and reliability. For riders who prioritise safety and long-distance comfort, this is an excellent choice. The pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the quality. I also own a pair of Alpinestars gloves, and in my view, these Made-in-India gloves are far more economical and perform just as well, if not better, than many imported or premium brands.
It is worth noting that after the first day, my knuckles and fingers felt a bit sore. From the second day onwards, however, my wrist and throttle coordination improved significantly. Despite reduced direct contact, reflexes adapted well, and there was no strain even after completing a total of 3,581 kilometers.
Overall, this is a product I would strongly recommend to serious riders. You are unlikely to regret the purchase. On the contrary, you will probably end up appreciating Viaterra for delivering a well-designed, dependable riding glove.
