Five Kansas Gloves

Classic Leather Style with Modern Protection

The Five Kansas is a premium road glove that bridges the gap between classic custom aesthetics and contemporary safety engineering. Constructed from supple full-grain goat leather, this glove features a hidden one-piece metacarpal protective shell and targeted reinforcements to deliver high-level impact resistance without compromising its vintage appeal. It is designed for riders who value a high-quality leather finish alongside modern necessities like touchscreen compatibility and sophisticated airflow.

Key Features

• Full-Grain Goat Leather: Supple leather construction used throughout the palm and top for maximum flexibility and durability.
• Metacarpal Protection: A PU one-piece protective shell integrated beneath the leather for discreet impact resistance.
• Perforated Ventilation: Strategically placed perforations on the top of the hand to facilitate airflow during warmer rides.
• External Finger Seams: Stitched on the outside of the fingers to eliminate pressure points and improve tactile feedback.
• Dual Closure System: Features both a heavy-duty zipper and a Velcro® adjustment strap for a customisable, secure fit.
• Accordion Stretch Panels: Leather bellows located on the fingers and thumb to ensure natural movement and grip comfort.
• Hypothenar Reinforcement: Full-grain cow leather panel on the palm with integrated memory foam for slide protection.
• TouchScreen Compatibility: Index finger equipped with specialized material for operating smartphones and GPS devices.

Refined Comfort and Construction

The Kansas glove is engineered for a superior fit, utilising external seams at the fingertips to provide an optimal feel of the motorcycle's controls. The combination of an elasticated wrist and leather accordion bellows allows the glove to move with the rider’s hand, reducing fatigue over long distances. The meticulous level of finish, including embossed logos and precision stitching, ensures these gloves appeal to riders who prioritise both style and structural integrity.
