Strange Fit
Men's XL size is tight...and the fingers waay too long. Never seen anything like this before. Looks like they were made for some Alien Being in a Sci-Fi Moviw. Good Material & Workmanship...Stitching, etc., ...But...???
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 Recoil Gloves in black 2XL are crafted from genuine goat skin leather, offering V-twin riders a blend of classic style and robust protection. Featuring a reinforced padded palm and a secure YKK cuff zipper, these gloves are built for the demands of the open road.

The genuine goat skin leather construction provides a supple feel while ensuring excellent abrasion resistance. With attention to detail in every stitch, these gloves are ready for anything from daily commutes to cross-country tours.
The reinforced padded palm not only boosts grip but also helps absorb road vibrations, reducing hand fatigue on extended rides. The robust YKK cuff zipper provides a snug closure, keeping wind and debris out. These gloves are an excellent choice for riders seeking reliable hand protection that looks as good as it performs, perfectly complementing any V-twin setup.
Are these gloves suitable for all-weather riding?
Genuine goat skin leather offers good resistance to moisture, but for heavy rain, we recommend pairing them with waterproof glove liners or a dedicated waterproof glove.
Does the padded palm offer vibration dampening?
Yes, the reinforced padded palm is designed to help absorb vibrations from the handlebars, contributing to reduced hand fatigue on longer rides.
Is the cuff zipper durable?
The gloves feature a high-quality YKK cuff zipper, known for its durability and smooth operation, ensuring a reliable closure every time.

Great looking gloves a bit thin but good for the winter since they don't have any holes for airflow
For the price, the quality is there. I purchased a MED and it fits just right. They may need to brake in a little more. It's a great look and value.
I was looking for a simple, black leather glove without Velcro adjustment to go with my simple black leather jacket. The Recoil 21 is that glove, it is made of quality leather and without the Velcro found on most motorcycle gloves -- Velcro tends to shred the tricot and satin liners found inside the sleeves of most leather jackets. The glove is comfortable and true to size and it appears to be made of quality materials and construction. Fits under the tight sleeve of my leather jacket no problem. Couldn't be happier with these gloves, definitely recommend.
Just received a size medium pair. Disclaimer: I'm probably never going to ride in these, given the lack of impact protection. But I'll use them for driving and walking around in the winter.<br /><br />-My right hand measurements, from the base of the wrist to the tip of each finger, from pinky to thumb:<br />6 1/2", 7 3/4", 8", 7 3/4", 6"<br />-Palm width measuring across from the base of the pinky to base of the index finger: 3 1/2"<br />-Circumference of wrist: 7 1/4"<br /><br />The mediums fit absolutely perfectly. No extra length in any finger, and they snug up nicely when I make a fist. There's lot of room in the wrist with the zipper closed, and with just a little effort I can slide them off with the zipper still zipped. The inner liner feels good, no scratchiness even with a little dry hands. The only thing I'm not thrilled about are the subtle branding on the outside of the thumbs but it's in no way a deal breaker. Great simple pair of gloves.
Great gloves with one BIG flaw, the thumb is insanely long, it just makes no sense.. It's an additional knuckle long. I turned them inside out, sewed the end and trimmed the extra off, now they are my favorite gloves.. *wish it had touch screen.
