Why Cowhide Leather Is a Top Pick for Motorcycle Gloves

Cowhide is one of the most popular leathers for motorcycle gear because it is thick, dense, and naturally resistant to abrasion and tearing. These are the qualities that matter the moment your hands hit the pavement or grip at highway speed. Additionally, with the insulated cowhide gloves, you get extra protection on heavy windy days.

It also resists repeated flexing at the knuckles and palm without breaking down fast, which is why you’ll find cowhide gloves in everything from short-cuff commuter gloves to full gauntlet styles built for wind and cold. 

Cowhide offers more structure and durability, a good tradeoff for riders who want gear that holds up, in exchange for a bit less dexterity than softer leathers like deerskin.

Features of Gloves That Matter on the Road

Full-gauntlet cowhide gloves, also used as cowhide winter gloves, extend beyond the wrist to protect against wind and debris on longer rides. 

Fingerless cowhide gloves offer excellent dexterity for city riding and warm-weather cruising, and lightweight cowhide gloves bridge the gap for everyday commuting. If you opt for fleece-lined cowhide gloves, they will even keep your hands warm in snow, not just wind.

For those chilly morning rides, cold-weather styles like the TimberTough, PowerDrive ColdGear, FrostGuard Pro, and Cold Snap Cruiser gauntlet gloves combine the natural wind resistance of cowhide with an added lining. So, you can get a jump on the day without losing feeling in your fingers by the second stoplight.

Most lined cowhide gloves in this collection are touchscreen compatible. This style helps you to use a GPS mount or phone without removing your gloves. Some styles add reinforced knuckle protection for riders who want more coverage than a bare leather palm. 

Each glove uses a wrist strap or secure closure to keep it in place at speed instead of coming loose.

Whether choosing cowhide insulated gloves or a simple one, a couple of things to look for on the product page before you buy:

• Perforated or ventilated for summer riding; water-resistant for damp conditions

• Cut or gauntlet, lightweight or fingerless

• Men’s and women’s sizes XS to 5XL

Men's Cowhide Gloves vs. Women's Cowhide Gloves

Daniel Smart chose to create unique lines of cowhide motorcycle gloves for men and women instead of a single unisex option. 

The men's collection features a variety of styles, including gauntlet, waterproof cowhide gloves, fingerless, and lightweight designs, all tailored to fit a standard men's hand shape. 

The women's line includes genuine cowhide gauntlet gloves and fingerless styles specifically sized for a woman's hand, rather than just smaller versions of the men's gloves. 

Both collections boast the same durable cowhide material, touchscreen compatibility, and secure wrist closures. In fact, you can get black cowhide gloves and other colors as well in both. The key difference lies in the fit, not the durability.

FAQs

What is cowhide leather good for in motorcycle gloves? 

Its thickness and density are perfect for tackling the abrasion and flexing that riding demands, ensuring you have the grip, throttle control, and everyday durability you rely on. 

How should cowhide riding gloves fit when new?

When you get a new pair of cowhide gloves, they should feel comfortably snug, just enough to keep your hands secure without cutting off circulation or pinching your fingertips. Since full-grain leather tends to stretch about 5% to 8% to conform to the shape of your hands, starting with a snug fit is key. This way, you’ll avoid any loose, potentially hazardous slipping once they’re broken in. 

How do I choose between gauntlet, fingerless, and lightweight gloves? 

Gauntlet genuine cowhide gloves wrap around your wrist and forearm, ideal for those long highway and touring rides. If you prefer a better grip in the heat, fingerless gloves are the way to go. For everyday commuting, lightweight gloves strike a nice balance between comfort and protection.
