Product Description
The Uppercut is Legendary USA’s urban protection glove — American Whitetail deerskin short wrist with leather-covered carbon fiber knuckle defenders built into the back panel. Designed for riders who want meaningful impact protection in a short wrist profile without the bulk and wrist restriction of a full armored glove.
The deerskin base carries the same properties as the full Legendary glove line — roughly half the weight of cowhide at equivalent protection, natural thermal performance, pliable in wet conditions without conditioning. The perforated back panel provides airflow in warm weather. American & Efird (A&E) industrial-grade thread throughout. Touchscreen-capable index finger. Elasticized wrist. Ultra-thin breathable lining. Hand-cut and stitched in the USA. Featured in The Wall Street Journal Fashion Magazine.

WHY DEERSKIN
Why riders choose deerskin.
Deerskin is softer, more flexible, and more comfortable than many traditional glove leathers. It naturally conforms to your hand while keeping durability and control — the fit only gets better the more you ride.
The deerskin advantage
✓Exceptional comfort
✓Molds to your hand over time
✓Excellent throttle feel
✓Naturally flexible
✓Durable for everyday riding
✓Premium rider experience

Every pair is produced in small batches by skilled American craftspeople who ride. That means tighter quality control, better materials, and real attention to detail — standards overseas mass production simply can’t match.

Why It Costs More
Most gloves are built to hit a price point. This one is built to solve a problem.
Cheap gloves use lower-grade leather, generic patterns, and mass-production shortcuts.
You are not paying for a name. You are paying for better leather, better construction, better fit.
What you are paying for:
- Premium Deerskin Leather Softer than cowhide from day one. Molds to your hand. Gets better with every ride.
- Real Perforated Airflow Actual ventilation — not decorative. Keeps hands cooler on hot rides without weakening the leather.
- Touchscreen Fingertips That Work Actually works on any device. Use GPS, take calls, skip tracks without removing your gloves.
- American Construction Stricter quality control, better stitching standards, and tighter inspection than overseas mass production.

Reviews
These look GOOD.
"Finally -- an armored glove that's not trying to make you look like Skeletor or Spider Man. Carbon fiber knuckle protection, but these look good enough to wear to work or out to the theater -- I have. I'm not ordinarily a glove guy outside of riding or yard work, but I've started wearing these everywhere. And they're touch screen friendly -- a bonus. (Not as easy as your bare finger, but they never are. It still lets you tap, scroll or swipe without taking them off. )"
