While helmets and gloves are normally the closest of bedfellows \u2013 where else would you put your riding gloves when not on the bike \u2013 we don\u2019t often see both items from the same manufacturer unless part of a much bigger range, but hey, who\u2019s complaining? Certainly not us when they look like this!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, part of a much bigger range \u2013 a sub-set of a sub-set, in fact \u2013 these mid-length gloves cover most options and again are very competitively priced.<\/p>\n

All but one pair are 100% premium aniline goat leather \u2013 said to have high tear and abrasion resistance \u2013 with a polyester lining for a comfortable feel. They are stitched together with high-tensile nylon stitches and most have the good grace to look as they\u2019ll look after a few thousand miles on the road straight out of the box thanks to the aniline dyeing process and a waxed finish. The exception being the exception to the 100% leather rule: the Hollywood denim, which has a 10oz denim back that will wear and fade over time like only denim can.<\/p>\n

Most are workmans\u2019 gloves but all are styled quite differently and I suspect that you, like me, will be buying on a combination of style and protection. So rather than hitting the spec on each and getting bogged down horribly, each glove is captioned for easy identification and I\u2019ll run through any specific additional points.<\/p>\n

The Fullerton are perforated for cooling, feature a side-zipper \u2013 YKK \u2013 and single density foam pads for added protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Despite all but the semi-denim having knuckle protection of sorts \u2013 whether hidden or conspicuous \u2013 none are ECE approved but that currently only matters if you\u2019re riding through France, and then only if you are checked … but then they do have an increasing number if things they can check you on, from the Crit\u2019Air certificate to retro-reflective tabs on your helmet.<\/p>\n

With impending regulations \u2013 which might have passed into law now \u2013 they won\u2019t be allowed to be sold as motorcycle gloves because they lack CE approval, so they sell them as work gloves and we can still wear what we like. They will always be better than riding without gloves: it just means that we take ownership of the risk.<\/p>\n
