The short answer
For motorcycle gloves, decide the riding style (short cuff street, long cuff sport or touring), the leather, the protection (knuckle guards, finger armour, palm reinforcement) and the standard your market uses, such as EN 13594 in Europe and the UK. State these, your size split and your branding in the request, and order samples before the main order.
Types of motorcycle gloves you can source
- Short-cuff street gloves. Light leather gloves for daily riding and city use, easy to put on and off.
- Gauntlet and sport gloves. A long cuff that overlaps the jacket sleeve, with hard knuckle guards and reinforced fingers for faster riding.
- Armoured and biker gloves. Gloves with raised knuckle guards, finger armour and a padded palm, often in black with red or white trims.
- Summer gloves. Perforated leather or mesh panels for airflow.
- Winter and touring gloves. Lined or insulated gloves with a longer cuff and, on some models, a waterproof layer. Say if you need these.
- Cruiser and fashion styles. Plain leather, fringed and fingerless styles for casual riding.
Leather and protection features
| Feature | Options | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Outer leather | Goatskin or cowhide | Goatskin is soft with good feel. Cowhide is heavier and more abrasion resistant. |
| Knuckle protection | Hard shell guards, TPR or carbon-look shells | Check how the guard is attached and how much of the knuckle it covers. |
| Finger protection | Finger armour, padded or double-layer fingers | Adds protection and bulk. Sample to check the feel on the controls. |
| Palm | Reinforced palm, extra padding at the heel of the hand | Protects in a fall and is where most gloves wear first. |
| Stitching | Double or triple stitched seams, outside or inside seams | Weak seams burst in a slide, so ask about the stitch pattern and thread. |
| Closure | Hook-and-loop wrist strap, with or without a cuff closure | A secure closure keeps the glove from coming off in a fall. |
| Touchscreen tips | Optional on the index finger and thumb | Useful for phones and sat-nav. |

Standards and compliance to ask about
Rules differ by country, and they change. Confirm what applies with your importer or a compliance adviser before you place a large order.
- EN 13594. The European standard for protective gloves for motorcycle riders. It sets abrasion, cut, seam and impact requirements, with performance levels. Buyers in Europe and the UK often ask for it.
- CE or UKCA marking. In the EU and the UK, riding gloves are personal protective equipment. They carry the conformity marking that applies to their risk category, backed by a test report.
- North America. There is no helmet-style federal approval for riding gloves, so retailers and brands set their own requirements. Many ask for a recognised test report. Ask what your customer requires.
- Impact test marks. Some suppliers also test to industrial impact standards. Those relate to work gloves and are not a substitute for a riding-glove standard.
- Leather chemistry. EU buyers often ask about restricted substances in leather, such as chromium VI. Ask the supplier what testing they can provide.
Private label and custom motorcycle gloves
Most buyers of motorcycle gloves are brands, distributors and online retailers who sell under their own name. Manufacturers can usually add your logo by embroidery, print or a sewn label, match your colours, make gloves to your size chart and pack them with your hangtags and boxes.
Custom designs, new colourways and new patterns carry a higher minimum order and a longer lead time than a standard style the factory already makes. Send a reference photo or tech pack with your request to speed up the quote.
Sizing and fit
A riding glove must fit snugly without limiting the controls. Share the hand measurements you size by and whether you need men's, women's or youth patterns. Ask for the same pattern in every size, and check a full size run at the sample stage.
What to tell suppliers when you ask for a quote
- Riding style. Street, sport, touring, summer, winter or cruiser.
- Leather and build. Goatskin or cowhide, lining, cuff length and closure.
- Protection. Knuckle guards, finger armour, palm reinforcement and any impact padding.
- Standard and paperwork. EN 13594 or other, and the test reports you need.
- Sizes and quantity. Size range, size split, and first order and yearly volume.
- Branding and packing. Logo, labels, hangtags, boxes or polybags, and the pairs per carton.
Minimum order, samples and lead time
Minimum orders and prices vary by supplier and by how custom the glove is. Ask for a written quote that states the price per pair, the minimum order, the lead time and the packing.
Order samples first. Check the stitching, the fit across sizes, how the knuckle guards sit when the hand is closed, and that the markings match any test report. We can help arrange samples and an independent inspection before shipment.

Which standard do motorcycle gloves need?
In Europe and the UK, riding gloves are PPE and buyers usually ask for EN 13594 and the CE or UKCA marking. In the US, retailers and brands set their own requirements. Confirm with your importer and ask suppliers for test reports.
Goatskin or cowhide for motorcycle gloves?

Perforated summer gloves and lined winter gloves are common requests. Say which you need, and what climate you sell into, so the supplier can propose the lining and, if needed, a waterproof layer.
What protection features should I ask for?
Knuckle guards, finger armour or padded fingers, a reinforced palm, strong double stitching and a secure wrist closure. Ask for photos and a sample to check them.
What is the minimum order for motorcycle gloves?
It differs by supplier and by how custom the glove is. Ask for a written quote that states the minimum order, the price per pair, the lead time and the packing.
