FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What material are the Tom Sykes Kawasaki 2015 gloves made from?
Tom Sykes' WSBK racing gloves are constructed from 0.8–0.9 mm cowhide leather, a race-grade material chosen for its combination of abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and lightweight feel. The leather is reinforced between the thumb and index finger to enhance grip durability during sustained throttle and braking input. This thickness is standard for racing gloves and provides superior tear resistance compared to thinner materials, making it ideal for track sessions where hand protection is critical. The cowhide is safety stitched with high-strength nylon thread to withstand the stresses of competitive riding.
How do the TPU sliders protect your hands during a crash?
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) sliders are mounted on poly-foam backing at the palm, thumb, and fingers to absorb and distribute impact energy during a slide or crash. Unlike bare leather, TPU resists abrasion and allows your hand to glide across the track surface rather than catching and rotating—a critical safety feature in racing. The poly-foam backing underneath adds cushioning to reduce the force transferred to your hand bones and joints. Tom Sykes' gloves also feature a rubber protector with air intakes at the knuckles, which works in combination with the carbon-reinforced metal knuckle guard to shield the most vulnerable contact point during impact.
Can I order custom-sized Tom Sykes racing gloves?
Yes. Select Custom Size from the product options Size, complete the checkout process. Submit your body measurements via the measurement form using your order number; gloves ship in 4–6 weeks from spec confirmation. Standard sizes (XS through 3XL) are available for faster delivery in 10–15 working days. Custom sizing ensures a race-ready fit that matches your hand dimensions precisely, reducing bunching and improving throttle feel and braking modulation on track. Hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 guarantees every pair meets our race-grade standards.
What does the carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector do?
The carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector shields the back of your hand—the most vulnerable contact point during a crash or track slide. This rigid armor absorbs direct impact and prevents the knuckles from striking the ground or track surface directly. Combined with the rubber protector featuring air intakes and exhaust ports, the system manages heat and moisture while maintaining structural protection. The integrated flexible knuckles allow natural hand movement during riding, so you don't sacrifice dexterity for safety. This is a race-level protection feature that separates Tom Sykes' WSBK replica gloves from standard street riding gloves.
How do the pre-curved fingers improve grip and control?
The pre-curved design of the palm and fingers mirrors the natural resting position of your hand on the throttle and brake lever. This factory-set curve eliminates the need to manually break in the gloves—they conform to your hand immediately, improving throttle feel and braking modulation from the first ride. The leather reinforcement between the thumb and index finger further enhances grip security during sustained acceleration and aggressive braking. Tom Sykes' 2015 WSBK suit design is echoed in this pre-curve geometry, so the gloves feel authentic to the rider's original specification. The result is a secure, race-ready fit that reduces hand fatigue during long track sessions.
