Adventure Gloves

About

Adventure gloves are built for the long days where road turns to dirt and weather turns on you. This range pairs waterproof membranes, D3O knuckle armour and tough leather palms from Leatt, Merlin, Motodry and Shark Leathers. Short cuffs for airflow, gauntlets for storm protection, all sized for control. How to choose adventure motorcycle gloves Adventure gloves balance abrasion protection against airflow and feel. A waterproof membrane like HydraDri keeps hands dry on long touring legs, while X-Flow mesh construction moves air for hot days and technical off-road sections. D3O armour at the knuckle absorbs impact yet stays flexible until struck. Glove abrasion shares the EN 17092 family logic used for jackets, where AAA, AA and A bands set the bar for slide resistance against the road surface. Type Best for Cuff Key feature Waterproof gauntlet Cold and wet touring Long, over jacket HydraDri membrane Waterproof short Mixed conditions Short, under cuff Sealed seams Mesh / X-Flow Hot weather, off-road Short High airflow Leather palm Road and grip feel Short Abrasion resistance Armour and fit CE Level 1 armour passes a 4 to 5 kN transmitted force limit, while CE Level 2 holds under 2.5 kN for harder impacts. D3O hardens on impact and stays soft otherwise. Look for a knuckle protector plus scaphoid sliders on the palm, the bone most often loaded in a fall. Leather palms typically run 0.8 to 1.2 mm thick for grip and wear resistance, and EN 17092 AAA construction sits at the top of the abrasion scale. Fit matters as much as protection. Measure around your palm at the knuckles in cm, then match the size chart, usually S through 2XL across 6 standard bands. Fingertips should reach the seam without bunching. A pre-curved finger box of around 95 percent closure reduces fatigue over a full day in the saddle. For your full kit, match these to an adventure jacket and protective boots so every contact point is covered. Related: Adventure Jackets · Adventure Helmets · Gauntlet Glo
