Uppercut Knuckle Defense Gloves

Product Overview

Uppercut combines a short-wrist deerskin profile with leather-covered carbon fiber knuckle defenders built into the back panel. Legendary USA designed it for riders seeking a compact glove with a hard knuckle element, while perforations add airflow. The construction feature is described by the maker; no certification or impact rating is claimed here.

Materials & Construction

Legendary USA specifies the following construction: The deerskin base carries the same properties as the full Legendary glove line — roughly half the weight of cowhide in the maker’s material comparison, natural thermal performance, pliable in wet conditions without conditioning. The perforated back panel provides airflow in warm weather. American & Efird (A&E) industrial-grade thread throughout. Touchscreen-capable index finger. Elasticized wrist. Ultra-thin breathable lining. Hand-cut and stitched in the USA. Featured in The Wall Street Journal Fashion Magazine.

Color, Fit & Sizing

Color: Black. Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Measure around the widest part of the hand at the knuckles, excluding the thumb. The supplied chart lists XS (6–7 inches), S (7–8 inches), M (8–9 inches), L (9–10 inches), XL (10–11 inches), and 2XL (11–12 inches).

Style & Everyday Wear

Keep the black gloves coordinated with a riding jacket and dark denim. Their compact cuff suits a streamlined motorcycle outfit without the extended silhouette of a gauntlet.

Care Instructions

Clean the leather gently with a barely damp cloth; use a cleaner intended for soft leather on the cloth for heavier dirt. Air-dry completely at room temperature, away from heaters, dryers and direct sun. Do not soak or machine wash. Condition the clean, fully dry leather sparingly only as needed, then store in a dry, breathable place. Test any new leather-care product on a small hidden spot inside the cuff first. Avoid mink oil and neatsfoot oil, which the maker warns may over-soften or darken deerskin. Avoid silicone products, which can leave palms slippery and interfere with touchscreen fingertips. Keep conditioner on the leather shell and off the lining.
