A hot-weather glove with real hardware on the knuckles
These are unlined. The back of the hand is a thin stretch fabric, the palm is a supple microfiber, and there is nothing inside them holding heat in or water out. That is the whole point of them: they are the glove you wear in July, when bare hands would slip and a lined glove would cook.
So we should be blunt about the limits, because an earlier version of this page was not. These are not waterproof. They are not insulated. There is no membrane and no liner in them of any kind. Rain gets through them and cold gets through them. If you want a glove for winter or for wet riding, this is not the one - buy a lined, weatherproof glove instead.
What they do have is a molded shell across the knuckles, four raised domes over the finger joints, a reinforced grip palm, and touchscreen pads on the index finger and thumb. Full finger, close fitting, and light enough that you forget you are wearing them.
The hardware, described exactly
One molded hard shell curves across the back of the hand and covers all four knuckles in a single piece. Below it, four raised domes sit over the first joint of each finger. Both are rigid to the touch and both are stitched into the glove rather than slipped into a pocket.
The palm is a soft microfiber with a textured grip panel stitched across it, running from the heel of the hand out to the base of the fingers. It is a surface treatment, not padding - there is no foam layer in the palm, and you feel the bars and the tool handle through it.
At the wrist there is a ribbed elastic cuff with a hook-and-loop strap across it and a small pull tab, so you can pull the glove snug and it stays where you put it. There is no gauntlet, no zipper and no buckle.
What the shell is, and what it is not
The hard shell is real. It will take the knock you get from a wrench slipping, a branch, a range bench or a car door, and it is the reason these feel different from a plain work glove.
But we have no impact rating and no abrasion rating for this glove, and it carries no protective certification - it is not CE-marked motorcycle protective equipment. So we are not going to tell you it protects you in a crash, because we cannot show you anything that says it does.
If you ride and you want gloves that are tested to hold together in a slide, buy certified motorcycle gloves and check the mark on the label. Treat these as a comfortable, grippy, vented full-finger glove that also happens to have a shell on it - not as safety equipment.
The phone still works
There is a conductive pad on the fingertip of the index finger and on the tip of the thumb, on the palm side. Those two points work on a phone screen. The other three fingers do not - they are plain fabric.
That is enough to check a map, take a call or drop a pin at a stop without stripping a glove off and putting it somewhere you will forget it. It is not enough to type a long message comfortably.
Read this before you pick a size: they run small
The maker sizes these by palm width - the distance straight across your palm at the knuckles, with the thumb left out - and states plainly that the cut is an Asian size standard, not US sizing. That is the single most useful sentence on the spec sheet, and it is why a lot of people order their usual size and find it tight.
- Medium - palm width 3.3-3.7 in (8.5-9.5 cm)
- Large - palm width 3.7-4.1 in (9.5-10.5 cm)
- Extra Large - palm width 4.1-4.5 in (10.5-11.5 cm)
Lay a tape across your palm, read the number, and buy to the chart rather than to the letter you normally wear. If you land right on a boundary, size up - the elastic cuff and the wrist strap will take up slack, and a glove that is too tight across the knuckle shell is uncomfortable in a way you cannot adjust out.
We have not published a US glove-size conversion for these because the maker has not given us one, and guessing at it is how people end up returning gloves.
The details
Who these are for
Warm-weather riding, range days, airsoft, yard and shop work, hauling and loading, hiking with poles - anywhere you want your fingers, want grip, want something over your knuckles, and do not want your hands sweating inside a lined glove.
Not for cold weather, not for wet weather, not for cut-resistant work, and not as crash protection. They are one pair of light, vented, hard-knuckle gloves, and that is what we are selling you.
