DescriptionThe whole story▼
The Knox Orsa Leather MK3 in All Black is the leather sibling of the Orsa textile glove and one of Knox's most highly rated summer gloves. For the MK3 Knox kept the fit, feel and construction of the previous model and added new moulded finger protection, a floating Micro-Lock knuckle and a low-profile BOA dial.
The black glove is made from goatskin, CE approved to EN 13594:2015 and offered in sizes S to 3XL.
Key Features
- Durable goatskin leather upper
- Perforated goatskin palm with silicone-printed Clarino overlay
- Knox Micro-Lock filled TPU floating knuckle
- Moulded 3D TPR parts on the fingers
- Knox Impact Scaphoid Protection System with Micro-Lock
- Low-profile BOA Fit System that tightens and loosens
- Leather cuff wrap with embossed design
- Dark reflective print under the knuckle, touchscreen enabled
Goatskin for summer
Knox uses goatskin for the upper and the palm. Goat leather is known for being supple yet tough, and on the MK3 it is combined with small synthetic sections: the outer is 87.7 percent genuine leather with nylon, polyester and polyurethane making up the rest, over a polyester lining.
The palm is perforated for airflow and covered with a silicone-printed Clarino overlay that Knox says gives the grip you need without giving up comfort. Wrap-round seamless finger ends keep the fingertips comfortable on long summer rides.
Protection
Over the knuckles sits a TPU floating knuckle filled with Knox Micro-Lock for impact absorption and comfort. New 3D moulded TPR parts protect the fingers against impact and abrasion. A dark reflective print under the knuckle is subtle in daylight and reflects under headlights.
On the palm Knox fits the Impact Scaphoid Protection System with added Micro-Lock. Knox explains that it eliminates the grab effect when a leather palm hits the road, reducing the risk of hyperextension that can break the scaphoid. The glove is CE approved to EN 13594:2015.
BOA dial and leather cuff
The MK3 introduces a new low-profile BOA Fit System. According to Knox, its micro-adjustable dial for the first time both tightens and loosens, so you can fine-tune the fit in both directions instead of only releasing it completely. It sits on an all-new leather cuff wrap with a smart embossed design and glossy but subtle Knox branding.
Choosing the size
Knox recommends measuring palm circumference around the widest part of the hand with a fist and hand length from the wrist crease to the middle fingertip:
- XS: palm circumference 200 mm, hand length 179 mm
- S: 215 mm / 186 mm
- M: 230 mm / 193 mm
- L: 245 mm / 200 mm
- XL: 260 mm / 207 mm
- XXL (2XL): 275 mm / 214 mm
- 3XL: 290 mm / 221 mm
Leather gloves fit snugly at first; if you are between sizes or want a looser fit, Knox suggests the next size up.
Who it is for
Knox describes the Orsa Leather as a summer glove, and its strengths show on warm days in town and on country roads: a short, light leather glove with real knuckle and scaphoid protection that feels close to the controls. The all-black version is the one to choose if you want a timeless leather glove that matches a black leather jacket, a café racer or a naked bike, and if you prefer gear that ages discreetly.
What you should know
The Orsa Leather MK3 is a summer glove without membrane or lining for cold weather, so it is not waterproof. Leather needs a little care: let it dry naturally after rain and treat it occasionally to keep it supple. Knox does not state a CE performance level for this glove.
Colour
All Black gives the Orsa Leather MK3 a sleek, understated look in which the glossy branding and the BOA dial are the only accents. It hides dirt and the patina that leather develops with time, and works with any jacket. Black leather heats up in strong sun, but the perforated palm helps air move through the glove.
