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 tan are built from genuine goat skin leather with a reinforced padded palm, designed for superior control and abrasion resistance on V-twin bikes. Featuring a durable YKK® cuff zipper and critical-wear reinforcement, these are a go-to choice for Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle riders.
These Highway 21 Recoil gloves are engineered for the demands of serious V-twin riding. The genuine goat skin leather construction provides an excellent balance of tactile feel and robust protection against abrasion. With thoughtful design elements like a reinforced padded palm, these gloves ensure comfort and confidence mile after mile.
The Recoil gloves are an essential upgrade for any V-twin rider looking for reliable hand protection. Their classic tan colorway and durable construction make them suitable for a wide range of riding styles, from daily commutes to long-distance touring. Always consult the Highway 21 sizing chart to ensure the perfect fit for your hands.
What size are these gloves?
This pair is a size XL. Highway 21 gloves generally run true to standard sizing, but if you are unsure, we recommend measuring your hand width and checking the brand's sizing chart.
Are these goat skin or cowhide?
These are crafted from genuine goat skin leather. Goat skin is known for offering excellent abrasion resistance and a more supple, comfortable feel compared to traditional cow leather.
What's the palm reinforcement for?
The reinforced padded palm is designed to give you better grip and control on the throttle, reducing hand fatigue on long rides. It also provides extra protection if you slide on your palm during an unforeseen incident.

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...???
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.
