Why Motorcycle Gloves Matter
Hands are among the first parts of the body to reach the road in a fall, so gloves carry abrasion resistance, impact protection and grip. The European standard for motorcycle gloves, EN 13594, tests abrasion, cut, tear and seam strength, and requires knuckle impact testing at its higher level, Level 2 (Intertek).
