Not sure that I would want to use the gloves in case of a crash - I think the batteries are stored in a pocket on the back of the hand - could do some serious damage if you come off.

I think that would be the least of your worries. I mean, they look like they are knitted ffs

Yeah gloves seemed like a waste of money, but the waistcoat could work under a proper jacket I think.
