Fits like a glove...You've heard it a thousand times, so have we. What actually defines how a glove should fit? We think the new standard is Icon's Pursuit glove. Supple sheepskin leather conforms to your hand. Plastic knuckle armor for protection, but hidden for a refined look. All over perforation for all day comfort. Reinforced goatskin palm to combat those nasty encounters with the asphalt. Try it on for yourself and then decide. This is what a glove was meant to be.
Features
- Pittards sheepskin chassis for great fit.
- Battlehide goatskin leather palm overlay for durability.
- Integrated knuckle armor for protection.
- Secure wrist closure keeps the glove in place.
- Expansion gussets to improve overall flexibility.
- Snap to keep gloves together while not in use.
- Imported.

By Dave from Elizabethtown, KY
Pros: - Easily donned, a snug fit
- Comparatively cool on hot days
- Much, much better than wearing nothing at all
- Dexterity
Cons: - Stitching (see below)
- Durability (see below)
Sizing Info: Fits true to size
Additional Sizing Notes: The overall fit through the palm, index and middle fingers is good. However, the length of the ring and little fingers on my gloves differs between right and left which leaves some space at the finger tip.
These gloves are great for what they are: an alternative to nothing at all for short rides in warm weather that don't involve much speed. They are fast to put on, they give you great dexterity for picking your wallet out of your pocket, using credit cards to buy gas, manipulating the double-D ring on your helmet, etc.
The overall quality control is perhaps a little lower than it could be. Comparing the left and right glove side by side, it is easily noticed that there is a substantial difference as to where the individual pieces of leather are stitched together. This may or may not effect the fit, particularly in the fingers which are different lengths on the right and left glove, particularly noticeable in the ring and little finger. This tells me that with greater precision in the stitching or leather working the fit of the gloves could be improved.
I am also noticing some pretty significant wear in the palms of these gloves and even a little on the knuckles. I have not gone down wearing these, so the wear is a result of day to day use. It does not leave me with a tremendous confidence level with respect to what they would withstand. At anything above around town speeds I wear my Held gloves (which actually offer better feel at the controls and less hand fatigue) because I am much more confident in their crash worthiness.
