FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The outer shell is cowhide that is 0.8 to 0.9 mm thick. That is thin enough to feel the lever and the throttle. It is still strong enough to help resist scuffs in a slide. Inside, an aramid (Kevlar) lining adds a second layer. Extra leather sits between the left thumb and pointer finger, where the grip wears most. Compare them with other leather motorcycle gloves to see how they differ.
A carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector covers the back of the hand. It sits where the hand often hits first in a fall. TPU sliders sit on the palm, thumb and fingers. They are mounted on poly-foam, which adds a soft layer under the hard plastic. The sliders help the glove slide on the track instead of grabbing it. A Velcro wrist strap helps keep the glove on.
These gloves are blue and yellow. The colors follow the style of the Rizla Suzuki team that Chris Vermeulen rode for in 2008. They are a replica made for fans, not team gear. If you like a later Suzuki look, see the

. Both pairs are hand-stitched from cowhide and made to order.
Sizes run from XS to 3XL, and the gloves fit both men and women. Measure around your palm just below the knuckles, without the thumb. Then compare that number with the size chart. Race gloves should feel snug, since the leather softens with use. If you sit between two sizes, add a note in the Order Instructions box when you order.
Wipe off bugs and dirt with a damp cloth after each ride. Let the gloves dry at room temperature, away from heaters and direct sun. Heat can make the leather stiff and can crack it. Put a thin coat of leather conditioner on the shell now and then to keep it soft. Follow the leather care instructions for more tips.
