Knox Orsa Leather MK2 Gloves

Let me start by saying that I absolutely love these gloves! They flow a really good amount of air through the knuckle, and the air disperses under the honeycomb gel and through the entirety of the liner. They're a lot more comfortable in warm weather than I imagined when I tried them on.

These run a bit on the small side. I wear a large in American cut gloves. River road, Sliders, Z1R, and all my work gloves are large - but these are a bit snug so I'd recommend going up a size. XL fit me fine, and even better after a hundred miles or so.

My gripes, really, are small. Knox have fixed the back panel of the original Orsa with some elastic so the leather doesn't bunch. You get plenty of wrist mobility for the throttle without being crowded by bunched up leather.

I wish they'd done external seams on the fingers. It doesn't bother me, per se, because they've got wrap around fronts on the fingertips (and a smart device compatible material on both left and right index fingers), but for such a high end short glove, I expected a bit more. I'd also loved to have seen an elastic or flex panel at the base of the thumb, as that is a bit tight for me.

The TPUs are great. The BOA system is amazing and everything fits well under every jacket I own, both leather and textile. There were some frayed ends of excess stitching - again, a minor gripe but for $90 I expect to avoid having to trim/melt excess stitching.

The whole of the glove is 91% goat leather, per Knox, the remainder being the very soft polyester lining and the fabric flex panels in the fingers.

The SPS doesn't get in the way when I ride upright or tucked slightly. You may feel it a bit more in a full tuck, but it's easy to get used to. There's great knuckle and ulna protection, too - and I love the double reinforcement in the palm and the high wear areas of the underside of the fingers and thumb.

Overall, I'm very happy with these gloves. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again and I'm now looking into some of their full gauntlet gloves for fall and winter riding.

For the price this is a great glove. However it did run a bit small for me in the thumb to index finger, after a bit of stretching it has become a bit better.

Fast shipping and great quality glove upon inspection.

Sizing - after reading the reviews (typically a M) ordered a L and while a bit snug initially, ended up just right after a few rides.

BOA - I like it a lot. Individual preferences will vary, but it works for me and my gear (typically KLIM Induction when on road)

Overall, excellent quality and fit with unique features like BOA and SPS

Well you can really tell that Knox has spent the time developing their line of gloves. I was originally using a pair of Pilot Motorpsport Air Mesh and these gloves put them to shame. I love the latch device(for sake of better words) and they fit very well. They flow quite well for the protection offered. I am very impressed with these gloves.

AS of this time I can not give much of a review, as I am buried under 30 inches of snow and don't think i could even get to my bike let alone ride it.

Of course Revzilla shipping and customer service was stellar as we have come to expect.

As for the gloves they fit true to size for me. They appear to have protections in excess. This is the most protective pair of gloves / style of gloves I have ever bought. I find them comfortable when trying them on. I do not know how they will be on the bike as far as air flow or possible hot spots because I have not been able to ride.

After this weekends blizzard I do not know when I will be able to get out, but once I do I will return to and try to provide a better review.
