BikeBiz was showing a sneak peek of these new Knog 8 Ball gloves from a tradeshow, but they’re already up on Bikeman’s website for $40, although they’re showing as “out of stock” so perhaps they’re not “in stock” yet. Quality Bicycle Parts (QBP) will be the US distributor, and they say the gloves start shipping end of April.
They’re made of hand stitched fine grained goatskin leather. Dense lateral strength. Double stitching at all key wear points. Perforated venting on back and fingers. These are real leather, keep in mind they will stretch a bit after several wears.
