Hands are often among the first parts to reach the ground in a fall. The  - Bravo is a cowhide glove with carbon knuckle protection and a green finish. This guide covers its materials, protective features, fit and what the relevant glove standard means.
Key Takeaways
- The Bravo glove is made from cowhide leather with high-strength nylon thread and hand-stitched construction.
- Carbon knuckle protection and poly-foam sliders on the palm, thumb and fingers are the main protective features.
- EN 13594 is the standard for motorcycle gloves: Level 1 favors dexterity, Level 2 gives more protection and requires knuckle protection.
- Pre-curved fingers and a Velcro wrist strap are meant to keep the glove positioned and reduce hand fatigue.
Materials and Construction
The Bravo gloves use cowhide leather, a common choice for riding gloves because the hide holds up to sliding contact and flexes with the hand. High-strength nylon thread is used for the safety stitching, and the gloves are hand-stitched and made to order. Seams matter as much as leather: in an accident, a seam that opens exposes the hand, which is why glove standards test seam strength as well as the material.
A leather reinforcement between the left thumb and index finger adds wear resistance in an area that sees constant contact with the handlebar and levers.
Protective Features
The knuckles are covered by a low-profile carbon protector with air intakes and an exhaust port for cooling. The listing describes palm, thumb and finger sliders on a poly-foam base; no test result is given for how they behave in a slide.
Riders comparing gloves should know the standard behind the labels. According to SATRA's summary of EN 13594, the standard has two levels: Level 1 offers protection with low ergonomic penalties, and Level 2 offers greater protection with possible weight and restriction penalties. Knuckle impact protection is optional for Level 1 and mandatory for Level 2, and tests include cut resistance, seam strength and palm abrasion. A glove can claim a level only if it is marked with it, so the label is the place to confirm any rating.
Fit and Comfort
The fingers are pre-curved to follow the natural grip on the handlebar, which reduces the effort of holding a bent hand position on longer rides. A Velcro wrist strap closes the cuff; whether a glove stays on in a slide is what the EN 13594 restraint test measures, and no result is stated for this glove. Sizing is measurement-based and follows the size chart, so measuring the hand before ordering is the reliable route to a snug fit.
New leather gloves feel slightly firm. The leather softens with use and settles to the shape of the hand.
The Green Finish
The Bravo is available in green as well as black and white. Green stands out against the usual black gear and pairs with a matching suit or jacket. Colour is a style choice and should not be read as a protection feature. Riders who prefer a team-inspired look can compare , a replica-style design.
Who the Gloves Suit
The Bravo gloves are a race-fit design; the listing states no EN 13594 level, so riders who need certified gloves for track or fast road riding should choose a pair marked EN 13594 or ask the maker for documentation. For commuting or touring, the glove should feel comfortable on long rides and in warm weather.

Are the Bravo green gloves made of real leather?
Yes. The Bravo gloves are made of cowhide leather and sewn with high-strength nylon thread. They are hand-stitched and made to order, and offered in black, green and white finishes. The product page is the place to confirm the leather type, the thread and the protective features listed for each pair.
What does EN 13594 mean for motorcycle gloves?
EN 13594 is the European standard for motorcycle riding gloves. It sets two levels: Level 1 offers protection with low ergonomic penalties, and Level 2 offers more protection. Knuckle impact protection is mandatory for Level 2. Tests include cut resistance, seam strength and palm abrasion, so a glove should be checked for the marking itself.
How should motorcycle gloves fit?
A riding glove should be snug across the palm and fingers without pinching, with the wrist strap closed firmly so it cannot slide off. There should be no loose material at the fingertips because it bunches around the levers. Pre-curved fingers follow the grip, and measuring the hand against the size chart helps pick the right size.
