FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cowhide leather at 0.8-0.9 mm is the sweet spot for racing gloves — thick enough to resist abrasion during a slide, yet thin enough to preserve grip sensitivity and hand mobility on the throttle. Race-grade means the leather is selected for consistent tensile strength and tear resistance across the entire glove, with no weak spots. Alex Rins' 2018 Suzuki gloves use this exact thickness because it delivers the protection professional riders need without the bulk that slows reflexes. The plain leather finish (no coating or artificial patina) lets you feel the handlebar texture directly, critical for trail-braking and corner entry precision.
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a rigid plastic that distributes impact energy across a wider surface area instead of concentrating force on a single knuckle bone. When your hand slides, the TPU knuckle protector makes contact first, absorbing and dispersing the crash energy before your skin and bone do. The discrete design means it sits flush against your hand without adding weight or restricting your ability to curl your fingers around the throttle. Alex Rins' gloves integrate the TPU knuckle protector seamlessly with the cowhide leather, so you get MotoGP-level protection without the bulky armour look of street-focused race suits. This answer applies to the orange motorcycle gloves on this page.
TPU sliders on the palm, thumb, and fingers are mounted on poly-foam backing, which absorbs impact energy while the TPU itself reduces friction during a slide. This combination slows your hand's deceleration, protecting skin and tendons from abrasion and crush injuries. The sliders are positioned exactly where your hand makes contact during a slide — palm flat on the track, fingers curled. Alex Rins' 2018 Suzuki gloves use this race-proven slider configuration because it's what professional MotoGP riders depend on when speeds exceed 180 mph and a slide becomes inevitable. The leather reinforcement between your thumb and index finger (the grip zone) adds extra durability in the area you stress most when holding the throttle.
Every pair is made to order and ships in 10 to 15 working days from order confirmation. Nothing waits in a warehouse: the orange motorcycle gloves are cut and hand-stitched after the order is placed, which is why the lead time is longer than an off-the-shelf product. Delivery covers 50+ countries and tracking is sent by email when the parcel leaves the workshop; transit time after that depends on the destination and is listed on the Shipping & Delivery page. Allow the full lead time if the gloves are needed for a fixed date.
Wipe the leather down with a soft dry cloth after use and let it dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun. Condition the 0.8-0.9 mm cowhide leather every few months with a small amount of leather conditioner worked in with a cloth, then buff. Store the gloves on a wide hanger or flat in a breathable bag, never in plastic. Salt, rain and sweat marks come off with a slightly damp cloth before conditioning. Avoid machine washing, solvents and heat; a leather specialist can refresh the finish if it dulls after years of use. Leather Collection has hand-stitched leather to order since 2009 and the Help Center answers care questions before you order.
