- 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.
