I find this frustrating too - and it's all the big online sellers, not just this one. I wonder if they are bowing to pressure from the more expensive brands which don't seem to get the rating more value brands do? EG - Oxford have a lv 2 glove...
@@thebrowns5337 yeah I don’t care about the fact that the description says that it’s CE certified. It’s a mandatory minimum requirement for motorcycle gear so all gear should be certified. (At least gear sold in Europe). What is interesting if only the minimum level 1 or A is achieved, or of they achieved a higher level. Would be even better if the achieved level is entered in a specific field instead of the description, so then you could filter search results on the CE level. Bennet has high performance awards for level 2 and AAA certified gear and even exceeding AAA. But unfortunately many products are not listed there yet. I hope manufacturers will start to see the marketing value of level 2 or AAA rated gear to increase sales.
Great gloves for the price. Wanted a primarily leather glove for british spring/summer/autumn, with good protection. Tried dozens of gloves from different manufacturers (including some very expensive ones) but these were the most comfortable by a fair margin. Fit is obviously a very subjective thing. I'd usually buy Held, which are comparable at this price point. Boa fastening is a big plus for a relatively short cuffed glove. Don't look too clunky considering the level of protection.
I came off when learning to ride while doing slow speed manoeuvres. I can say without a doubt that the scaphoid armour does the trick. It slid on the tarmac, and I was uninjured. Had I been wearing my leather gloves, I think I would have hurt my hand/wrist.
Would these be acceptable for 80-90 degree weather? I know these are “summer gloves” on your website, but “summer” on the US East coast is quite a bit hotter on average, I think! Thanks very much. I think the textile Orsa 4 seems better for summer weather, but they are sold out. : (
Hi, they might be a bit too hot for the peak summer! The Urbane Pro gloves will work better: www.urbanrider.co.uk/knox-urbane-pro-glove-black.html - Iza
As a point of note, it's not "B.O.A", it's "BOA", like the snake.
Good-value gloves for what you get.
Your website only mentions CE approved in the description. Please add CE levels to the descriptions.

Thanks for sharing!
Is it good enough for the coldest months of spring and autumn ? Those gloves are labelled as summer gloves.

Would these work on a cloudy day when the temperature was around 15 degrees?
Hi, it should be fine! - Iza
