Knox Zero 4 Winter Gloves - Black

I got these gloves recently for riding over the 2025/2026 winter period. The good things are that they're very well made, have all the standard Knox features like the palm slider, Boa lock etc. The areas I struggle with are the bulkiness (which is expected to be fair), the restrictive movement of the thumb area and the overall stiffness.
I wore these round the house for a while to start breaking them in a bit but the thumb movement is still pretty restrictive, meaning that you cant extend your fingers as far to the levers very easily.
During a 45 min ride at motorway speeds at 2 degrees (so colder with the wind factor), my hands were pretty cold, even with heated grips on and barkbusters.
That said I think theres only so much cold-protection a non-heated glove can give, so my main issue is just the restricted movement. I do think they are a decent glove though, they'll just need a lot of breaking in to get them supple.

I bought the largest size, 3XL, that they make. They were still a little tight but are gradually easing as I continue to use them. 350 miles to date. Have only been in a few showers so can't state how longterm water proof they will be but looking good so far. The left thumb bar for wiping your visor works well in the rain.
I particularly like the ratchet cuff fastener which makes the gloves easy to open out the cuffs fully to go over the jacket sleeves and then tighten them properly with already gloved hands.
Hopefully I won't need to test the crash protection armour but it looks very purposeful.
I usually get a bit of hand cramp after a while riding but on a 5 hours ride yesterday I didn't notice any so they obviously suit me.

Very good quality and feel from these. I found them very tight when new and have taken quite a few wears to really break in and start to supple up. Others have mentioned that the fingers are a little short which is true so consider this if you have long digits! I didn’t try the next size up as wanted as little bulk as possible and tight fit but you should try a size up if want a little room in the glove. My hands have been warm in these even on below 10 degrees centigrade trips.

They did as advertised getting the right fit is the key
