Materials
A glove is only as strong as its foundation. The product page lists cowhide leather of 0.8-0.9 mm and high-strength nylon stitching.
Cowhide: The product page lists cowhide leather, a common choice for abrasion resistance on racing gloves.
Reinforced grip area: The page lists reinforced cowhide between the thumb and index finger.
Stitching: The page lists safety stitching with high-strength nylon thread. EN 13594, the standard for motorcycle gloves, tests seam strength as well as abrasion, cut and tear resistance, according to SATRA. The product page does not state EN 13594 certification for these gloves.
Protection Features
Impact and abrasion are the two main risks for the hand in a fall. The product page lists the protectors below and states no EN 13594 level.
Listed Protection
Knuckle protection: The product page lists integrated flexible knuckle protection, with rubber protection, air intakes and an exhaust port.
Sliders: TPU sliders on the palm, thumb and fingers, mounted on soft poly-foam.
Closures: Velcro wrist strap closures.
Ergonomics and Comfort
A stiff glove increases hand fatigue, which matters over a long session. The product page lists a pre-curved palm and finger design.
Comfort Features for the Track
Pre-curved palm and fingers: A pre-curved shape follows the natural curve of a hand on a grip, which reduces the effort needed to hold the bars.
Air intakes: The page lists air intakes and an exhaust port in the knuckle protection.
Not listed: Stretch panels, laser perforation and external seams are not on the product page.
Why Custom-Fit Gloves Matter
The product page lists standard sizes XS to 3XL with a size guide, and it asks for measurements around the widest part of the hand when they are submitted after ordering. The range covers gloves made to the rider. Off-the-shelf gloves can leave a long thumb or tight knuckles, and a custom-ordered pair puts the knuckle armor and palm sliders over the right anatomy. That affects comfort and also the position of the protection itself.
Final Thoughts
The GP Pro Leather Gloves MotoGP Edition suit riders who spend time on the track or ride hard on the road and want a racing-style glove; check the product page for the protection actually fitted and for the sizes and measurement options it lists.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a finger bridge on a racing glove?
A finger bridge is a link between two fingers, usually the third and fourth, intended to keep the little finger from being forced away from the others in a slide. It is a common design idea on racing gloves, shown here as general information: the GP Pro product page does not list one, and not every glove includes one.
Why do racing gloves have palm sliders?
Palm sliders are hard-wearing pads fitted over the palm. The GP Pro product page lists TPU sliders on the palm, thumb and fingers, mounted on soft poly-foam. The page states no EN 13594 level, so the sliders should not be described as certified protection, and riders should check the label of any glove they consider.
What does EN 13594 cover?
EN 13594 is the European standard for protective motorcycle gloves. It tests properties such as seam strength, abrasion, cut and tear resistance and retention on the hand. A glove meets it only if the product is labeled accordingly, and the GP Pro product page states no EN 13594 level.
Can GP Pro gloves be made to my hand size?
The product page lists standard sizes XS to 3XL and says measurements can be submitted after ordering, before production. It advises choosing the larger size when a measurement falls between two. A closer fit places knuckle armor and palm sliders over the right joints and avoids pressure points.
