Knox Orsa Leather MK3 Gloves - Black

I have a lot of gloves, however I nearly always opt for textile gloves because leather is often cumbersome and makes using switch gear and feel of the bike difficult. Not these. These are soft from the off, no brake in period required and the inside of the gloves feels like it’s lined with a sort of thin fleece lined material but doesn’t get sticky on a hot day. The boa closure system is fantastic and the protection of the glove is second to none. I have no faults with these gloves, no negatives at all.

Ordered a cheeky deal pair of the MK2 gloves in 2XL already had textile version, massive size difference, used SBS excellent returns option, decided to finally fork out for the new MK3 leather version in black.
Ordered the XL, I've wide hands but stumpy fingers so fit across palm is great, but fingers still short inside, my bane to bear unfortunately.

Gloves themselves after a couple of weeks wear seem typical Knox. Well made, leather nice and soft and protection, hopefully won't be required seems more than enough.

Only gripe, new BOA system is now centre of wrist where's my older textiles is slightly offset, and I'm finding its it's digging in on right hand during acceleration. Whether that's a handlebar setup I need looking at not sure? Only reason for 4 rating .

Very well made and comfortable gloves. More of a summer glove obviousley. Out yesterday on my KTM to try them out for the first time. Was 8c and they were just a bit chilly even with the hand guards and heated grips. Protection looks very good.

Great quality, substantial armour, easy and quick fastening. Quick delivery as always from SBS

If you have any other Knox gear you already know its going to be good quality. Leather is nice and supple straight away with only a few rides before they start to really break in and mould to you hands. There is a type of liner inside so the vent holes do not go direct to skin like the summer style gloves. Would say these are more spring/autumn wear.
Love the closure style Boa system as it wont come undone like velcro does.
i have ridden in a lot of rain and these will stay dry for a good 10 mins before they start to soak through, I have since treated them with Renapur leather balm and that has helped soften and add more water resistance

Bought these purely for the palm sliders but Knox have a good reputation for quality and safety. Very soft and hardly any break in required. One word of warning they run small. I'm normally an XL but had to go up to a XXL in these. Outstanding service by sportsbikeshop as always.

I wanted something with a little more flex than the traditional gauntlets. These fit nicely over my Alpinestar leathers at the cuff (although can be a bit fiddly at fitting them, this will improve as I break them in no doubt) and fit really well. Nice click adjustment like the Handroids, but no velcro, which is great.

Bought to replace my original Orsa's
They are well made and an improved design
Very pleased with them
