- Pando Moto Onyx 02 Leather Motorcycle Gloves Review
When shopping for new riding gear, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of reviews and technical details about all the features and benefits of various helmets, jackets, pants, and boots. Being able to comfortably and confidently work the hand controls on a motorcycle is essential, so gloves should be considered just as seriously as any other piece of riding gear. My latest pair of gloves are the Pando Moto Onyx 02. They’re constructed of 0.8mm goatskin leather that’s fully perforated, allowing some airflow to keep hands cool. The material feels soft, comfortable, and flexible. The stretch fabric inserts between the fingers and at the cuff are an important part of the gloves’ comfort, making them easy to slide into and out of and allowing fingers to move freely. For as comfortable as the gloves are to wear, they also pack a lot of protection. They’re CE certified at Level 1 and include flexible TPU knuckle guards under the leather. Each finger gets two TPU guards with padding, with a break between the two at the knuckle to allow flexibility. The PU slider on the palm, right where you’d contact the ground when reaching your hand out to brace yourself, doesn’t detract from the gloves’ comfortable feeling. The palm also gets some extra padding. These gloves are great for riding in warm weather due to their perforation and short cuff. I generally prefer a short cuff so I don’t have to spend time layering the cuff over or under my sleeve, and the Onyx’s cuff is slim enough to allow it to easily slip into my sleeve without bunching or snagging. The simple hook-and-loop strap closure is easy to grasp with gloved hands. The gloves also feature touchscreen-compatible conductive faux leather patches at the fingertips of the index finger and thumb, and they work really well. My thumb is a little short, so there’s too much unused fabric at the tip for me to use my thumb with a touchscreen, but the tip of my index finger can easily swipe through my phone without accidental touches. Touchscreen compatibility is not something I need very often, but if your bike has a touchscreen display or you mount your phone to your handlebar for navigation, the convenience of not having to pull off your glove to use the screen is refreshing.

They’re comfortable, they don’t hinder my hand movement or control at all, and they offer good protection and decent airflow. The Pando Moto Onyx Black 02 motorcycle gloves are available in black or brown in sizes XS-2XL for $123.

This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Up until the end of February, a steady flow of ships bound for destinations across the world would pass daily through the Strait of Hormuz. A narrow channel running between Oman and Iran, the waterway serves as the only natural maritime link between the Persian Gulf and the global economy. That all changed on March 2, when, after days of military strikes led by the S and Israel, Iran effectively closed the strait for the first time in history and warned that any ships passing through would be fired upon. Ever since, vessels moving through the channel have been attacked and set ablaze, and hundreds of tankers remain stranded. At least 1,800 people have been killed in the war, including Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other top government officials. The Persian Gulf is a linchpin of the planet’s oil and gas production; normally, roughly one-fifth of global oil and gas flows through the strait. Now, as it remains embattled, oil and gas prices have surged, and many experts warn an energy crisis is imminent. Restaurants across India are scaling back operations and warning of closures amid fuel shortages from the maritime blockade, while cooking gas prices are spiking in Sri Lanka. “The fact that obviously nothing is leaving means that there’s going to be a large hole in the market for fertilizer.” Another world crisis sparked by the war in Iran may also be in the offing. That’s because the region’s oil and gas production has made it one of the world’s leading exporters of nitrogen fertilizers, which are indispensable to the global food system. To produce the chemicals used to grow much of the planet’s crops, natural gas is broken down to extract hydrogen, which is combined with nitrogen to make ammonia, and then mixed with carbon dioxide to make urea. All told, nearly a third of the global trade for nitrogen fertilizer passes through the Strait of Hormuz, while almost half of the world’s sulfur, essential in producing phosphate fertilizers, also travels through the corridor. The waterway is a lifeline for food, too. Palm oil exports coming from Southeast Asia face potential major disruptions. Grain shipments headed to Gulf countries reliant on rice and wheat imports have been stalled. “A worrying amount of food, or inputs into modern agriculture, are going through this very small channel,” said Ginni Braich, a data scientist who studies food insecurity at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Better Planet Laboratory.… [TheTopNews] Read More.19 hours ago - Judge dismisses pricing suit against Publix
