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

Held Score 4 GTX gloves in black

ColdDarkNorth: Score 4

Like other Held gloves, I really like the design and quality of the Score 4s. Very little bedding in, waterproof and easy to get a good fit with the double closures. Great glove for mixed weather but not full winter cold.

Held Desert II gloves in black

ColdDarkNorth: Desert ll

Great fit and design. Wore them on a hot trip straight out of the pack. No wearing in and very good at getting it flow to the hands. Great summer gloves.

Brian Sansom Police Summer gloves in brown

Simon: Tough summer gloves

I wanted a pair of brown summer gloves and having owned one of Brians suits I was keen to try his gloves. These police gloves are definitely at the more robust end of the scale, the leather is appreciably thicker than any of my other gloves. They were a little stiff at first, but theyre well broken in within 500 miles or so of riding and are now very comfortable. The gloves look great and the quality of construction is spot on. Im confident theyd do their job in the event of a spill. For comparison, I also have a pair of Held summer gloves in black - they flow more air but dont feel anywhere near as substantial as these BKS gloves. Very happy with my purchase.
