The are a race replica inspired by the gloves Marc Marquez used with Repsol Honda in 2020. Marquez entered that season as an eight-time world champion, but he broke his right humerus in the opening race at Jerez on 19 July and missed the rest of the year (Marc Marquez profile). This guide covers what the product listing specifies, how the protection features work and how glove standards define protection.
Key Takeaways
- The replica listing gives 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide with pre-curved fingers and palm.
- A TPU knuckle protector with air intakes is listed, along with TPU sliders on the palm, thumb and fingers.
- Safety stitching in nylon thread and Velcro strap wrist closures hold the glove together and in place.
- EN 13594 defines Level 1 and Level 2 for riding gloves; certification for a specific pair should be checked on its listing.
Leather and Fit
The listing specifies 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide. Thinner leather gives more feel at the throttle and brake lever, while thicker leather adds material between the hand and the road. Pre-curved fingers and palm follow the natural position of the hand on a grip, and a leather reinforcement between the thumb and index finger is listed to help grip precision. Color options include grey and red.
More replica gear for the rider, from suits to boots, is grouped in the category.
Protection Features
The glove lists three protective elements:
- A TPU knuckle protector with an integrated flexible design, with air intakes and an exhaust port for cooling
- TPU sliders on the palm, thumb and fingers, mounted on poly-foam
- Safety stitching in high-strength nylon thread, plus Velcro strap wrist closures
Sliders let the palm skid across a surface instead of gripping it, and the wrist strap helps keep the glove from rolling off. Neither feature removes the risk of injury in a crash.
What Glove Standards Measure
EN 13594:2015 is the European standard for motorcycle gloves. Level 1 covers gloves that give protection with low ergonomic penalties, and Level 2 covers gloves with greater protection but potentially more weight and less movement. Testing includes palm abrasion, cut resistance and tear strength. Knuckle impact testing is optional for Level 1 and mandatory for Level 2, and the wrist or cuff restraint must hold at 25 N for Level 1 or 50 N for Level 2 (SATRA summary of EN 13594). The replica listing describes construction but does not cite the standard, so certification for any specific pair should be confirmed on its own page.
Matching the Rest of the Kit
Gloves are usually chosen alongside a suit. For a Honda-themed set, a and are the closest reference points in the range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are replica gloves the same as the gloves Marquez raced in?
No. A replica is inspired by the original design and colors, and it is produced independently of the rider, the team and its sponsors. The listing describes a race replica with its own specifications, so the materials and protection should be judged from the product page, not from the original.
What do EN 13594 Level 1 and Level 2 mean?
Level 1 gloves give protection while keeping ergonomic penalties low. Level 2 gloves offer greater protection and must pass a knuckle impact test, while Level 1 treats that test as optional. Level 2 also requires a stronger wrist restraint at 50 N instead of 25 N.
How should racing gloves fit?
Racing gloves should be snug across the palm, with the fingertips reaching the end of the fingers without bunching on the bars. Pre-curved gloves feel tight when open and relaxed when gripped. Leather can ease slightly with wear, but a size that fits correctly now is the better choice, and the maker's sizing guidance should be followed.
Which colors and sizes does the replica come in?
The listing offers grey and red color options, matching the 2020 season colors, and a size range from XS through 3XL. Gloves are sold in standard sizes, so the size chart on the product page is the place to check before choosing.
