Icon Justice Leather Gloves

These gloves are consistent with the major brands we carry, so hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.

The Justice glove from Icon is a short cuff leather glove that is a combination of leathers. The palm of the glove is goat. Icon says the goat is more abrasion resistant than cowhide. Hmmm…. I’ve always thought the opposite, but anyway, the goat leather is soft and pliable and provides good feel for the controls. The overall cut of the glove is “pre-curved” so the leather won’t wad up in your palm when you grab the handlebars. On the back of the hand and fingers, they are using a micro perforated leather from Pittards (an English maker of fine leathers). It also is soft and will allow for some ventilation. Not like a mesh glove mind you, but better than solid leather. Of course a leather glove like this will be better for crash protection than any fabric or mesh glove ever will be. The backs of the fingers and knuckles have some extra padding and molded protectors. Take the “View Larger Images” link above to see some close-up photos. Those are my hands in the pictures and I say “these ARE comfortable!” :: Paul 10-17-11
