Leather Motorcycle Gloves

Leather is the traditional material from which motorcycle gloves have always been made, and of course leather has many advantages. Leather is comfortable, but it is thin so it gives great feel on the controls. Leather is also strong, so it provide abrasion resistance if you come off the bike. Leather gloves come in all shapes and sizes. All racing gloves are leather, and so are many gloves designed for touring and commuting. Some leather gloves are lined for warmth; others are totally unlined, so are perfect for riding in the summer, and when it is hot. The weakness of leather is its inherent sponge-like qualities. And so, in the rain, a leather glove will absorb water. Eventually, even if there’s a waterproof membrane in the glove, this will find its ways through to the skin, making you feel wet and, in certain conditions, cold. So, most motorcyclists will need more than one pair of gloves, and if you ride a lot in the rain, you should consider acquiring a textile glove with a waterproof membrane.

Verified customer reviews for Leather Motorcycle Gloves

Rukka R-Viss gloves in black

Jeremy Thomas: Perfect for me

Bought this glove tight fitting and now fits like a.....err, glove. Subjective I know, but it works for me. With hand guards and heated grips, Ive ride in 4 degrees and been ok. Not tested waterproofness yet but its goretex, so I have no worries. Try lots of gloves, but if this suits your hands then I have no reservations about recommending it.

Halvarssons Duved gloves in black

Brian Green: Excellent Gloves

Super warm, great fit and feel on the bars without all the bulk often associated with winter gloves. Kept my hands warm on a 5 hour motorway trek from Liverpool down to Plymouth in temps between 2 - 3 degrees, no probs along with my heated grips. Ordered a pair in size 9 and a pair in size 10, to try both on, with the intention of sending a pair back. My mate was so impressed when he saw them he bought the size 10s off me there and then.

Rukka Thermo-G GTX glove in black

Shoulder_Season: Ideal for autumn, mild winter and spring

These gloves are cleverly designed they are short enough to be a doddle to put on under cuffs yet long enough to seal out drafts. Gore Grip gives good dexterity and waterproofing, and the all-important visor wipe works well. These gloves are not for Arctic conditionsmy fingers freeze below 5 Cbut are ideal for autumn, mild winter, and cool spring days. Why did I not buy them earlier? The lack of protection for the pinkie and the base of the thumb put me off. CE Level 2 protection would have reassured me, but these gloves are only Level 1 KP. Considering Five and Keis offer CE Level 2 winter gloves, Rukka is behind the Level 2 times. The pinkie finger only has one layer of leather on the edge of the hand, but it needs a double layer to guard against low sides. The gloves have a suitable-sized scaphoid protector. However, they lack a vital extra layer of leather over the stitching at the base of the thumb. Held Cold Champ gloves show how this protection should be done. Curiously, the scaphoid protector is rubber it may absorb some impact but not slide effectively. Protection niggles aside, the ThermoG+ gloves are great.
