More about this glove
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.

How do I measure my hand?
Tape around the widest part of your dominant hand — knuckles, no thumb. Between sizes? Size up. Exchanges are free.
What if they get soaked?
Ride on. Air-dry at room temperature — the leather dries soft, not stiff. Never machine-dry.
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.
Dexterity
Everything you do on a bike — gloved.
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.

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. )"
