Verified Customer Reviews for Knox Orsa Leather Gloves MkII
Customers praise these gloves for their comfort, fit, and quality. They appreciate the soft, supple leather and robust protection, particularly around high-impact areas. The Boa closure system garners mixed reviews: while effective and easy to use, some find it problematic with cuffs or sizing. Many recommend sizing up for better fit. Overall, users find them great for summer use but note minor issues like tight initial fit, seam discomfort, and less durability compared to older models. Highly recommended for summer riding.
I have only used them on one ride but in typical Knox style they are well made with great protection and comfortable and excellent service from sportsbikeshop as usual
Best fit of all the gloves I've owned. A lot of gloves have long fingers and I have shorter hand length and these are a great fit. I have the gauntlet version but wanted a shorter glove for summer use. Very good quality.
The feel and quality are superb and why would you buy from another retailer, Sportsbikeshop are fantastic thank you again
The gloves arrived the very next morning. They fit perfectly, are clearly a great quality product and have superb protection, especially around the scaphoid area. They look great and the dial fastening system is so easy. Highly recommended
Definitely worth it at 70 odd quid. Nice gloves fitting a little on the small side.
Bought these to replace my old Richa summer gloves that were lost in action. cool leather with snug fit and good feel..... no clumsy velcro either ..but will wait and see if the nylon fasteners last. Colour even matches my bike... just need some sun now!!
I bought these as a replacement for my Richa summer gloves, very well made and good quality, ordered large which is my size but they felt too tight and the palm slider and scaphoid protector was in the wrong place, so I spoke to one of the team at sportsbikeshop and there was a quick exchange arranged which I received a couple of days later, I now have extra large which now fit perfect, so I would advise people to go up a size on these gloves, just got to try them out now, it's always a pleasure to buy gear of sportsbikeshop.
I ordered these online as have had previous Knox gloves and loved them. When they arrived they had a fault, sportsbikeshop responded to my qu'es-tu and sorted an exchange that same morning!! Outstanding service and why I always shop with these guys!!!
Quality product. Certainly feel very protective.
Followed the size guide.
Fingers and thumb feel the correct length but glove feels restrictive when gripping the handlebar. Not sure if should have ordered the size up or if they will break in.
I bought these to replace my 11 year old Triumph summer gloves. I was a bit sceptical, but, it hasn't taken long to realise that I've made the right decision.
Very comfortable from the outset. Really good fit with no irritating seams inside. The fastening system takes a little time to get used to, but doesn't take long. It's a great idea.
If they last anywhere near the same as my old gloves, I'll be more than happy.
Top rate service and product fits like a glove. And looks good too.
What more could you ask for.
Boa system great for me fully adjustable. Safe gloves!!
Good price and service as always from Sportsbikeshop
I ordered a medium but felt it was too tight, and I usually wear medium gloves from other brands. Got in touch with SBS and exchanged for a large. They now fit like a glove and are very comfortable. The Boa system is easy to use and beats velcro, I hope in the long run. Excellent service from SBS thanks.
Design seems well thought out and well executed. Sizing seems accurate. Met my needs effectively.
Great quality leather gloves, Knox just seem to fit me right, quality leather with great protection too. If you ever need it the BOA system is very easy to use.
These gloves are to replace a ten year-old pair whose stitching came undone on the fingers. Before that happened they proved to be great gloves.
These new ones are a little different in design and are mostly more comfortable with fewer rubbing seams, but the cuff design is really annoying. My previous gloves had the longer cuff and the Boa system worked really well, but the Boa simply doesn't work well with these softer, shorter cuffs. They bunch up and get caught around my watch and require a good deal of messing about to pull the cuff far enough up for the Boa cable to act upon them rather than my wrist.
Once on they provide great feel and comfort but I don't look forward to the faff of putting them on each time.
Recent purchase from Milton Keynes Branch needed replacement short gloves - leather Excellent customer service from Sue Hurley and her team, lots of choices appeared for me to try and select - with detailed product and fit knowledge - now tried gloves on a couple of rides, great fit and quality and feeling of almost made to measure - perfect for me thanks Sue
Seem to be really comfortable so far. Nice light simple summer glove. Great ratchet system just like my Knox handroids

The Orsa leather glove MkII is a well-established and highly rated perforated summer glove from the Knox range. It features a honeycomb gel over a floating knuckle area, backed with memory foam, which in turn is housed in a flexible but durable outer knuckle shell which is designed to absorb impact. The perforated goat skin upper has abrasion resistant finger sliders on the top of the fingers. They also feature touchscreen technology on the index finger.
Superior comfort is delivered via wrap round seamless finger ends. Meanwhile, the strong goat skin palm has a soft memory foam double layer on high wear areas and also utilises the patented Knox Impact Scaphoid Protection System (SPS) on the palm, which incorporates Micro-Lock technology for added impact absorption. The SPS eliminates the grab effect that occurs when a leather palm makes contact with the road, and in turn reduces the risk of hyperextension which can be the cause of a broken scaphoid.
A unique low-profile BOA wrist closure system eliminates the need for any hook and loop closers. This 'dialled in' micro adjustable fit slips easily under a jacket sleeve.
The Orsa is CE approved to EN13594. The CE testing for the Orsa covers 15 different tests. As a result, independent testers have given the gloves a CE EN 13594-2015 rating. This covers so much including the materials used, the fit, the cut of the glove, its abrasion resistance, the all-important seam and tear strength as well as impact absorption.
Separate tests were conducted for design and construction, as well as tests on the materials used. This included checking features as detailed as the pH value of the leather, as well as its chromium V1 content. In addition to the sizing dexterity, the cadmium content and even the water vapour transmission were also measured. Strength tests included the Orsa's restraint tear strength, the seam strength, cut resistance, abrasion resistance and, of course, the impact resistance and the size of the protective area. The Orsa passes all with flying colours.
