Impact Protection that is comfortable

Hard protectors on the Holeshot Pro help deflect impact on the knuckles, and carbon fibre wrist sliders protect the ulna bones. To ensure the right fit, these knuckle protectors are made in two sizes, offering better coverage across different hand sizes. The additonal layer of memory foam is placed under the protectors for enhanced coverage and added comfort.

Patented low profile KNOX SPS 303

The patented Knox Scaphoid Protection System (SPS), made from Knox’s latest abrasion-resistant LDPE material, eliminates the grab effect when the palm contacts the road during a crash, providing robust protection. We chose the low-profile KNOX SPS 303 to ensure it doesn’t interfere with everyday use, and its placement has been approved by Knox headquarters in London.

Goatskin for enhanced abrasion protection

The Holeshot Pro features durable, lightweight, and naturally water-resistant goatskin leather. We maintained the leather thickness at the optimal level (1.2 to 1.5mm) to ensure enhanced abrasion resistance and extended service life.

Finger impact protection with in-built accordion

The gloves feature TPR protectors and memory foam padding on the fingers for impact protection. The TPR protectors are designed with an integrated accordion structure, allowing comfortable stretch while operating the clutch and brake.

Excellent Ventilation & Breathability

Constructed with heavy-duty 3D air mesh and perforated leather, these gloves ensure maximum airflow, making them perfect for the hot, humid Indian weather!

Silicone SuperGrip for enhanced grip on controls

The special SuperGrip panels on the palm provide superior grip, enabling a light hold on the handlebars for smooth throttle operation without strain.

Phone Friendly for BOTH hands!

The Holeshot Pro features strategically placed conductive leather panels on the index finger and thumb tips of both hands, allowing you to use your smartphone during quick breaks or stops without removing the gloves. This conductive leather mimics a conductive path, making it effortless to operate touch-sensitive electronic devices. These panels are placed on the fingertips as well – allowing you to pinch and zoom easily.

Visor wiper for the rainy rides

Based on customer feedback, the Holeshot Pro features a strategically placed soft wiper on the left hand to assist in cleaning the helmet visor during rainy conditions.

Extra visibility with 3M reflective piping

The Holeshot Pro features 3M reflective piping on the finger accordions to enhance visibility at night.

Handy clip

The ViaTerra standard mini clip allows for the gloves to be held together as a pair

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

Product Specification 

Material:

The HOLESHOT PRO utilizes durable, lightweight goat skin leather that is naturally water-resistant. The leather is intentionally kept as thick as possible to enhance abrasion resistance.

Protection:

We opted for the low-profile KNOX SPS 303 for seamless protection that doesn’t hinder daily use. Knuckle protectors are used in two sizes to ensure a proper fit and comprehensive coverage across hand sizes. Carbon fiber wrist sliders have been incorporated to safeguard the ulna bones. Memory foam padding and TPR protectors on the fingers provide robust impact protection.

Ventilation & Breathability:

Throughout the design, heavy-duty 3D air mesh, stretch fabrics, and perforated leather maximize airflow, making the gloves ideal for hot and humid Indian weather conditions.

Comfort:

Stretch fabrics and finger protectors with an accordion structure offer flexibility and comfort when operating the clutch and brake. An additional layer of memory foam beneath the knuckle protectors and wrist sliders enhances coverage and overall comfort.

Hoe To Measure Glove Size ?

STEP 1 – Measure your hand using a tailor’s tape measure

There are two key measurements that you need to take into consideration for figuring out your glove size.

• Circumference – Wrap the tape measure around your palm at its widest point and lightly close your hand before taking the measurement.
• Length – Measure from the tip of the middle finger to the base of your palm at your wrist.

STEP 2 – Find your glove size by checking hand measurements against the chart provided

• If both the measurements do not fall in one particular size – use the larger of the two measures to choose the glove size.
• If the two measurements are on the border line between two sizes, try both the sizes and choose the one that offers a better fit.

How To Check Glove Fitment ?

STEP 1 -Confirm that the gloves are a comfortable fit.

They should not be excessively tight on all fingers (including the thumb) & knuckles. To check this, try the gloves on and form a fist several times and verify if:

• Adequate room for all fingers (specially thumb) to move and operate controls comfortably.
• Check the fitment on both hands since your left and right hand sizes do vary.

While leather gloves do take some time to break in, ensure that the fit on first try is not so tight as to cause discomfort and/or restrict movement.

STEP 2 – Ensure the knuckle protectors are properly positioned.The way to check this is:

• Roll your hand into a tight fist and hold the position for 5-10 minutes. This position should be easy to hold without causing any discomfort or causing any stress points.
• Ensure that the edge of the knuckle protector is not over the knuckle when the fist is formed.

Things To Remember

Putting on and taking off may be slightly difficult, because the wrist area is narrowed down for safety reasons. This is done to prevent the gloves from coming off your hands during a crash and to offer a snug fit. You may find the Knox SPS on the palm to be uncomfortable in the first try. But just like any protective gear, over a period of time you will get used to it so you do not even notice it. These devices are incorporated in the gloves is to ensure you are well protected when you most need it.

In our research, we found that the palm size and the finger length are not in the same proportion for everyone (that makes each of us unique in the truest sense!). In such cases, primary area of fitment should always be the palm area, even if you are to be left with some extra room near your fingertips. We have used hard protectors to maximise protection and longevity. While we have added an additional foam layer underneath them, they may feel a bit too hard at the beginning. Thinner and more flexible knuckle protectors are not very effective during a crash and do not last long either

Care & Storage 

CARE:

Our gloves use full-grain goat leather that is naturally water-resistant. However, when leather gets wet, the oils get stripped from the leather – this will stiffen the leather and eventually cause it to crack. Think of it as your skin after taking a bath – you need to moisturize to replace the natural oils in your skin removed by the water. So, what matters for your gloves is what you do after it gets wet. Here is a step by step process to keep your glove well cared for and last longer.

Materials needed:

• Microfiber/ soft cloth
• Small bowl or mixing cup
• Absorbent towels
• Soft-bristled brush
• pH neutral leather cleaner
• Leather conditioner
• Lukewarm water

How to clean riding gloves?

1. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix a portion of leather cleaner in lukewarm water.

2. Dampen a microfiber cloth with the mixture and gently wipe the stained areas. If the gloves have mud splatters, allow the mud to dry before attempting to clean it away. Use a soft-bristled brush to brush it away before cleaning with cloth.

3. Clean the gloves starting at the wrist and working toward each fingertip. Be sure to clean well between each finger. Keep moving to a clean area of the cloth as the dirt is transferred.

4. Rinse the cloth often as the dirt is transferred. Turn the gloves over and repeat on the other side.

5. DO NOT USE HOT WATER

6. DO NOT allow your gloves to come in contact with solvents (do not use fabric softener!), fuel, or cleaning agents.

7. DO NOT use any kind of CHEMICAL or scrub the leather

8. Do not use a washing machine or high-pressure devices to clean the gloves, as high temperatures and pressure will damage the leather.

9. Do not wring the gloves.

How to dry wet gloves?

1. Dry the gloves by pressing softly with an absorbent towel after cleaning. You can also do this when your gloves get wet in the rain.

2. Allow damp gloves to dry slowly, as this will prevent the leather from stiffening and cracking.

3. Never dry wet gloves with a blow-dryer or put them on a radiator or direct sunlight or other heat source to dry – this will harden the leather and lead to damage. Also dry the gloves indoors away from direct sunlight where there is good ventilation.

4. While your gloves are drying, periodically put them on your hands to stretch the leather and ensure they don’t shrink.

5. Just before the gloves are completely dry, put the gloves on and shape them to your hand while still damp. Remove the gloves gently, trying to retain this shape in the gloves and allow it to continue drying.

How to condition gloves?

After the gloves are completely dry, apply a good quality leather conditioner. This is very important. Properly treated and conditioned (oiled) leather will breathe and the internal microfibers will move freely in the leather.

1. Use a good quality leather conditioner that will allow the leather to breathe.

2. Apply conditioner and rub it into the leather.

3. Allow the conditioner to soak into the gloves and reapply (if needed).

4. Wipe off any excess conditioner and make sure the gloves are not slick on the motorcycle controls.

How to store riding gloves?

When gloves are stored wet or in a non-ventilated area, this may cause deformations and ruin your gloves, not to mention this allows mildew to grow on the leather causing discoloration and damage.

1. Make sure that your gloves are completely dry before you store them.

2. Place them in a breathable cotton bag to protect them from dust but with enough air circulation to prevent mildew from forming.

3. Store them in a cool, dry, well ventilated area
