BMW-Style Sport Touring Gloves Protection

$139.99

These are track-oriented gloves built for sport riding and racing. The primary material is kangaroo leather, chosen for its high tensile strength relative to thickness. This allows thinner construction in high-dexterity areas without sacrificing abrasion resistance. Kangaroo leather also breaks in faster than cowhide and maintains flexibility across a wider temperature range.

The knuckle and finger protection uses a combination of TPU armor and carbon fiber reinforcement. Knox scaphoid sliders are integrated into the palm—this is critical protection for the most commonly fractured bone in motorcycle crashes. The sliders are replaceable and designed to allow controlled sliding rather than grip during impact.

Construction & Riding Functionality

Pre-curved finger construction matches throttle and brake lever grip posture
Accordion stretch panels at knuckles and finger joints prevent bunching under glove when gripping bars
Perforation across fingers and backhand for airflow during high-speed summer riding
Double-stitched seams with external stitching in high-wear zones to prevent premature failure
Extended cuff with wrist closure strap and secondary Velcro cuff cinch for secure fit at speed

Hardware & Internal Details

TPU knuckle armor absorbs impact energy while maintaining low-profile ergonomics
Carbon fiber finger bridge prevents hyperextension during tumbling
Kangaroo palm overlay provides direct bar feel without excess padding
Touchscreen-compatible fingertip panels on index finger and thumb
Polyester mesh lining wicks moisture and reduces interior friction during entry and removal

Intended Rider Use

Sport riding, track days, and racing where speed and lean angles demand maximum protection
Warm to hot weather use—perforation limits cold-weather effectiveness below 50°F
Riders prioritizing dexterity, feel, and crash protection over thermal insulation
Not suitable for touring or commuting where comfort across variable conditions is required
