Short motorcycle gloves for city riding, all made from cowhide leather. Pick the Blue Shadow summer gloves for warm days, or the Bravo Black gloves. There are also two short pairs: one in plain black with a USA style, and one in black and white. A short cuff ends at the wrist, so the gloves go on and off fast.
Urban Motorcycle Gloves Waterproof leather riding protection for city commuters
Urban motorcycle gloves protect commuters on daily city rides since 2009. Waterproof membranes seal out rain while hand-stitched seams maintain durability through stop-and-go traffic. Whether navigating wet streets or weekend rides, our made-to-measure options tailor cuff length and fit for confident control. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips let you stay connected without removing gloves.
Protective riding gloves deliver dry hands and secure grip because waterproof construction blocks moisture while reinforced knuckles absorb impact. Hand-stitched panels preserve seam integrity through thousands of commute miles. Curved fingers reduce fatigue during long rides, and sealed cuffs prevent wind entry. Each pair supports all-day comfort with attention to bar feedback and wrist stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are four pairs. The Blue Shadow Summer Motorcycle Gloves are made for warm weather. The Bravo Black gloves are a plain black pair. The Black Short Motorcycle Gloves come in a USA style, and the Black and White Short Motorcycle Gloves mix two colours. All four are made from cowhide leather, so you can choose by look and season. Each pair has a short cuff for quick city rides.
A short glove has a cuff that stops at the wrist. It does not go over your jacket sleeve like a long gauntlet glove does. That makes it quick to pull on and take off at each stop. Short gloves also feel lighter and let more air reach your wrist. Many riders pick them for city trips, short rides and warm days. On a cold or wet day, a longer cuff may suit you better.
Cowhide is a thick and firm leather. It feels strong in the hand and keeps its shape over time. It also softens as you wear it, so the gloves get more comfy with use. All four pairs in this range use cowhide leather. To care for them, wipe off dirt with a damp cloth and let them dry at room temperature. Keep them away from a heater, which can dry out leather.
Check your hand against the size chart before you choose. Wrap a soft tape around your palm, just below the knuckles, and do not count the thumb. Then measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Compare both with the chart. A good glove fits close but lets you bend your fingers on the bars. If you are between two sizes, pick the one that lets your hand close fully.
