Motorcycle Gloves

Here at Moto Superstore we offer a large range of Motorcycle Gloves – these are typically manufactured using either leather or textile or a mixture of both although other options are available. Although the main purpose of motorbike gloves is to protect the rider from injury, they may have additional specifications that help with abrasion resistance or help the rider keep warmer or cooler depending on the weather. In the United Kingdom and other European countries motorcycle gloves MUST meet CE approvals which are clearly marked as European Standard EN 13594:2015 (this means that the gloves have passed safety standards to be sold as a motorcycle glove that offers protection) motorcycle gloves can be certified to Level 1 or Level 2 with Level 2 offering significantly more protection. (For level 2 Knuckle Protection is mandatory but for Level 1 it is not)

Most gloves now provide some level of weatherproofing, this doesn’t mean they are ALL waterproof but the vast majority will protect the rider to some level from rain, wind and sunshine. With motorcycle gloves specifically made for touring and long rides, you can expect to see increased level of insulation, waterproofing and additional features like touch screen fingers.

With Motorbike gloves made for sports bikes and in particular racing, normally the fingers would be pre-curved and have additional armour and protection for the rider as the speed at which the motorcycle can travel and increased risk of crashing is much higher. (This protection may come in the form of carbon or titanium knuckle protection or the fingers may be bridged together to offer additional support)
