These gloves are just laden with metal parts! These remind me of a more high-tech version of the old Icon TiMax gloves of many years ago. The glove incorporates a lot of good features for sport riding and of course all the metal armor pieces too. The styling is the overwhelming feature here, but let me hit on a few of the practical aspects.
The features of note that I see here are: Boxed fingers (meaning with seams on the outside rather than inside), which make a glove comfortable to wear without much breaking in; the knuckle armor pieces are a combination of rubber and metal which feel very robust… and the knuckle armor “floats” meaning it is not attached on the back side which means you can make a fist easily since the armor floats on top of your knuckle. I see the pinkie/ring finger bridge which I “thought” was an exclusive of Alpinestars… it is designed to tie the very easily damaged pinkie to the ring finger for reinforcement if you fall. I see some perforated leather used around the perimeter of the fingers which should help this glove breathe; and I see some high abrasion resistant pads in the palm and on the sides of the pinkie that would wear well in a fall, and would allow the glove to slide better on the pavement. Overall, this glove feels pretty substantial and the materials feel nice.
This short cuff version pulls on and off the hand easily and you can adjust the tightness of the part that extends past the wrist with the Velcro tab.
