FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
These MotoGP racing gloves are hand-stitched from 0.8–0.9 mm cowhide leather, a race-grade material that resists tearing and puncturing during aggressive track riding. The cowhide is paired with leather reinforcement between the thumb and pointer finger, the highest-stress grip zone. This thickness is standard for race gloves because it balances abrasion protection with finger dexterity and tactile feedback on the throttle and brake lever. The hand-stitched made-to-order construction since 2009 ensures every pair is built to individual spec, not mass-produced. This answer applies to the Chris Vermeulen 2008 MotoGP gloves on this page.
Yes. The Chris Vermeulen MotoGP gloves are certified to EN 1621-1:2012, the European standard for motorcycle protective gloves. The carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector and TPU sliders on the palm, thumb, and fingers meet impact-energy absorption requirements at primary contact zones. This certification ensures the Chris Vermeulen 2008 MotoGP gloves have been tested for abrasion resistance, seam strength, and impact protection—critical safety features for track racing. The gloves also feature a rubber protection layer with air intakes and an exhaust port, supporting both cooling performance and protective durability.
The pre-curved palm and fingers are shaped to match the natural grip position on the throttle and brake lever, reducing hand fatigue and improving throttle control during extended track sessions. The carbon-reinforced metal knuckle protector is integrated with TPU moulding and positioned at the knuckle contact zone—the first point of impact during a slide. This design absorbs and distributes impact energy without adding bulk or restricting hand movement. The TPU sliders on the palm, thumb, and fingers are mounted on poly-foam, providing a secondary impact-absorption layer that works in concert with the knuckle protector to protect against abrasion and puncturing.
These Chris Vermeulen MotoGP gloves replicate the documented Rizla Suzuki 2008 season livery in Blue and Yellow. The 2008 season marks a historical period in MotoGP, and the Rizla Suzuki team's iconic colour scheme is faithfully reproduced on these hand-stitched race gloves. The gloves are a replica of the race suit construction Vermeulen wore during the 2008 MotoGP season, offering collectors and track-day riders an authentic visual and functional connection to that era. For a detailed size and fit comparison, consult the size chart.
Every pair is made to order and ships in 10 to 15 working days from order confirmation. Nothing waits in a warehouse: the gloves are cut and hand-stitched after the order is placed, which is why the lead time is longer than an off-the-shelf product. Delivery covers 50+ countries and tracking is sent by email when the parcel leaves the workshop; transit time after that depends on the destination and is listed on the Shipping & Delivery page. Allow the full lead time if the gloves are needed for a fixed date.
