LAUNCH GLOVE

$155.00

The Launch Motorcycle Glove was created after a real-world crash exposed a gap in traditional glove protection. Its industry-first overlapping lateral pinky protection system and race-style finger bridge are designed to help reduce pinky twist and dislocation risk in a lowside. Built from 100% goat leather with Superfabric® reinforcement, Impacton™ foam, and a molded knuckle, it delivers serious protection with real dexterity.

So nice, I bought them twice!

I originally ordered the medium to try the glove over my wind-blocking liners. The leather feels luxurious and craftsmanship is top notch. Combined with the technology and safety components, I know I had to order them in small for spring/summer/fall riding. But I wasn’t sure if small would be small enough.

As a woman rider, my hands are a bit smaller. Chris was super patient and answered all my questions that I had. As soon as the small size arrived, I had to test it out. Not shocked, it was a great fit, and now I could really feel how amazing these felt on my naked hands. Thanks Chris and Ulterior Moto for making a fantastic glove that not only looks great with my SpeedTwin1200, but provides comfort all day long and advanced protection!

I've been riding for nearly 30 years and have owned gloves from many different manufacturers. I've never owned a glove so soft, that fit perfectly, and matched every bike (American V-twins, cafe racers, sport bikes, and sport-touring bikes) that I own. I no longer need different style gloves for each style of bike - the "Launch" glove is a "1-glove fits all bikes" design! I challenge anyone to find a better fitting, more comfortable glove that leaves you knowing that your hands will be protected in the event of a crash.

Comfy for long rides and warm too! These have became my favorite gloves for rides. Ulterior have knocked it out the park with these gloves.

Arrived as advertised. Fingers are a little long but my fingers are a little short. Interior seam on the outside of the right pinky finger is a little rough, but after a few wears I’m developing tougher skin. Seller did not respond to email inquiry.

Almost perfect, the build quality is exceptional, materials brilliant, just let down by silly details, first off I have very large hands, so required a 3XL size which fitted
Almost perfectly, but the thumb is nearly an inch too long, but the worst part is the
security strap it’s too short so you have to pull it out of the d-ring the strap is a fraction too wide so it’s difficult to thread it through the d-ring with the first glove and impossible when you put on the second glove, to rectify the issue if you made the strap slightly narrower and about an inch longer it would solve the issue completely, unfortunately I’ll be returning them for a refund.

These gloves are definitely worth the money. They feel premium, the leather is thick so I know my hands are protected. The non-obvious pinky bridge is a good peace of mind for me, and I get plenty of air circulation when moving. Love these gloves and am glad I bought them.

The only con I have is that the straps are a pain sometimes. I 100% understand they do it for the most secure grip. But in order to get my gloves on my straps come out of the little buckle area and to have to put the other one back in while wearing my other glove can be tedious at best and at worst I give up and just let it dangle. I’d rather have a normal hook and loop that just goes around all the time rather than what I have now which I only use like 70% of the time.

That might be a me thing only, but the rest of the glove is amazing and I can tell a lot of thought and love went into this.

If you guys ever offer a regular hook and loop option I’ll definitely buy that.

Comfortably fit by measuring to size chart. Soft material forms to fit snug. Added safety features were selling points for me personally. Now to see how long they lease. Super nice glove.

These gloves are really great. They are a replacement for a pair of KLIM gloves that are completely worn out.

I’ve owned a lot of motorcycle gloves and while I won’t claim they are the best; that’s only because it’s impossible to compare over decades.

I currently have four pair. They are all top shelf, but the Ulteriomoto are my absolute go to gloves.

These gloves are not just well made, they have features missing from others I’ve owned.

This is Chris Davis’ company. Some of you who made it up to the Cambria Triumph Rally may have met him this past year. I tried on a prototype glove he had, and it’s one of the most comfortable and well made gloves I’ve ever worn. The safety features and design are ingenious and well thought out. I’m going to get a pair, and I humbly suggest you consider them if you need some riding gloves. Update- I ordered the Launch Gloves, and they more than live up to my expectations. Well made gloves that are just getting better the more I use them. They truly grip the bars better than almost any other glove I've ever had. Bravo Ulterior Moto! I'm a fan. Can't wait to see what you guys come out with next.

So far these gloves have proven very comfortable and tough. I was looking for a quality pair of gloves with a pinky bridge and shorter cuff and these fit the bill. I had ordered a pair of Five gloves many months ago that are still back ordered, so decided to try these. I'm very satisfied with these and will probably cancel my order for the other gloves.
