The gloves are inspired by 2023, when Michael van der Mark raced in WSBK for BMW. The colors are black, blue, red and white. Check the product photos to see where each color sits on the glove. The same glove is offered for men and women. Each pair is cut and hand-stitched once you order, so take a moment to pick the right size before you check out.
Gloves run XS to 3XL in a standard fit. There is no custom size for gloves. Wrap a soft tape around your hand just below the knuckles, leaving out the thumb. Compare that number with the size chart. Race gloves should feel snug, with your fingertips just short of the glove ends. The how-to-measure guide shows the steps in more detail.
Flexible knuckle protection sits over the back of the hand. Sliders on foam cover the palm and the fingers, the parts that touch the ground first in a slide. A reinforced panel runs between the thumb and the index finger. Rubber panels add cover on the back of the hand, where gloves wear the most. The 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide is cut and stitched by hand.
Pre-curved fingers follow the shape of a hand that holds the bars. That means less leather bunches up in your palm, and your hand works less hard on a long ride. The 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide is thin, so you can still feel the levers. A Velcro strap closes the glove at the wrist, and you can set it as snug as you like.
Wipe the gloves with a damp cloth after each ride to lift sweat and dirt. Let them dry at room temperature, never on a heater. Stuff them with paper so they hold their shape while they dry. Treat the cowhide now and then to keep it soft. The leather care instructions give the full steps for cleaning and storage.
