Highway 21 builds riding jackets, gloves, boots and rain gear aimed at V-twin riders who want protection that still looks right on a cruiser rather than a track bike.
The Highway 21 Louie gloves in Black/Tan combine classic style with rugged durability for V-twin riders. Crafted from genuine deer skin leather, these gloves are built for the open road. Their single-layer construction provides excellent feel and control.
These Highway 21 Louie gloves are designed for riders who appreciate a traditional look without compromising on performance. The rich drum-dyed finish ensures each pair develops a unique patina over time, making them a personal statement as much as a functional piece of gear. Ideal for cruising or long-haul touring, these gloves offer comfort and protection in a timeless package.
Whether you're hitting the local rally or embarking on a cross-country journey, the Louie gloves are a reliable choice. Their robust construction stands up to the demands of daily riding, while the classic aesthetic complements any V-twin setup. Pair them with your favorite leather jacket for a cohesive, road-ready look.

These are size 5X. Please consult the Highway 21 sizing chart to ensure accurate fitment for your hands before ordering.
Are these gloves waterproof?

Will these gloves be comfortable on long rides?
Yes, the genuine deer skin leather and single-layer construction are designed to provide comfort and flexibility, reducing hand fatigue on extended rides.

Really like the designs tooled into the leather from the shift pattern to the desings on the cuffs the gloves look really cool. True fit sizing seems to be correct, have worn for multiple cold Michigan rides and hands stay warm. Well worth it for the money.
The leather for these gloves is very thin. Even at the price point of $45, they're thin. I got a Large which fits well, however, the normal amount of pull to get these gloves on caused the seam from the thumb in the palm to tear. There are also small tears starting to form in the leather itself at the bottom of the palm. Keeping in mind the fit is correct, the only way to get these on without causing a tear is if your hands are bone dry. Literally any moisture on your hands creates enough friction to tear them. Little sweat? Tear. Washed your hands and didn't THOROUGHLY dry? Tear. Humidity over 55%? Tear.<br />They look and feel good, but these are not made to be worn and used consistently. As expected, they provide little to no protection like similar styled gloves.
These are super thin. Probably not much thicker than latex gloves. They look nice but not much protection at all. A decent leather work glove is much better protection. Made in China too. Just all around way too flimsy for any kind of protection. Only way I would get these again is if they costed about 1/4 of the price and I needed some gloves to take a selfie in.
We sent them back. My husband has pair of these in another color and loves them, wanted the black ones. The pair we received was poorly made, the left index finger was twisted when sewn, looked and felt odd.<br />We will try reordering.
Comfy, look good, good dexterity....after only 2 days of the riding the leather is looking worn. Alright for $40. Time will tell.
