Why Racing Gloves Matter

Hands are usually the first thing a rider puts down in a fall, and they control the throttle, brake and clutch. A racing glove therefore has two jobs: protect the hand in a slide or impact, and leave enough feel for precise control.

The European standard for motorcyclists' gloves is EN 13594. As described by testing body SATRA, it has two performance levels. Level 1 gives lower protection with better mobility and control, while Level 2 gives more protection at the cost of some weight and dexterity. Impact testing is mandatory for Level 2 gloves. The standard is a test, not a promise about any one crash.

Features of the Replica Gloves

Based on the product page for the cowhide version, the gloves are described with these features:

• Leather: 0.8 to 0.9 mm cowhide, hand-stitched and made to order, with reinforcement between thumb and index finger.
• Protection: a TPU knuckle protector and rubber palm sliders, with safety stitching, as listed on the product page. The page does not state an EN 13594 level.
• Cooling: a protector with air intake and exhaust ports.
• Fit: pre-curved palm and fingers, with a Velcro wrist strap and adjustable cuff.

How to Choose Racing Gloves

• Fit: fingers should reach the end of the glove without bunching, and the glove should not twist on the grip.
• Closure: a wrist strap and cuff help hold the glove on; EN 13594 tests wrist restraint strength.
• Protection: look for knuckle protection and reinforcement at palm and finger zones, and check which EN 13594 level is stated on the product.
• Leather: thicker leather resists abrasion longer, thinner leather gives more feel.
• Season fit: ventilated gloves suit summer; solid leather is warmer.
