How long is the break-in?

Soft out of the box — within a week or two of riding the leather takes the shape of your grip.

Wrong size — how do exchanges work?

Easy exchanges and 30-day returns. No restocking fees.

The Glove

The only gear you feel
every second of the ride.

Throttle, clutch, brake — everything you do on a motorcycle, you do through your gloves. So we build them like it matters.

American leather — grain macro

The Material

Soft on day one.
Yours by week two.

American leather chosen for hand feel — it molds to your grip instead of fighting it, and keeps its shape wet or dry.

Day 1

Snug at the knuckles — that's correct. No pressure points.

Week 2

Molded to your hand. Grip memory sets in.

Year 1+

Yours. Condition every few months; air-dry if wet.

This is why you size snug — see the fit guide below.

Fit

Snug at the palm.
Nothing at the fingertip.

A riding glove should fit like a firm handshake: no slack in the palm — that is where blisters start — fingertips just touching the end, knuckles free to make a fist around a grip.

Between Sizes?

Deerskin stretches about a quarter size to your hand. Take the snugger size for bare-hand feel — the larger if you run liners in the cold. Exchanges are free either way.

Questions

Before you ride.

How do I measure my hand?

Tape around the widest part of your dominant hand — knuckles, no thumb. 8–9 inches is a Medium; 9–10 is a Large. Between sizes? Size up — the leather snugs in to fit.

What happens if they get soaked?

Ride on. Air-dry at room temperature — the leather dries soft, not stiff, and keeps its shape. Never machine-dry, never dry on a heater.

How long is the break-in?

Soft out of the box. Within a week or two of riding the leather takes the shape of your grip — which is why you size snug.

How do I care for them?

Wipe clean with a damp cloth, air-dry if wet, and condition lightly every few months.

Wrong size — how do exchanges work?

Easy exchanges and 30-day returns. No restocking fees.

Proud to Wear Them

"Great gloves, great fit, and I'm proud to support a product that's made in the USA."

Paul (5/5)

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. )"
