IXON GP5 Air L Motorcycle Leather Gloves | Women | Black

CE-certified and built for riders who refuse to compromise, the IXON GP5 Air L in black delivers a racing-grade protection package in a summer-ready women's leather glove. Goatskin construction, a full racing slider, anti-rollover reinforcement and extensive perforation combine to meet the demands of spirited road riding and trackday use alike.

Key Features

• CE-certified motorcycle glove — independently verified protection for road and track use
• Racing slider on the palm and leather-covered knuckle shell deliver focused impact and abrasion defence
• Anti-rollover reinforcement between ring finger and little finger — a detail that sets the GP5 Air L apart from purely cosmetic summer gloves
• Goatskin outer with extensive perforations promotes high airflow and reduces heat build-up in warm conditions
• Long gauntlet cuff with wrist strap and wide adjustment tab keeps the glove firmly seated at speed
• Touchscreen-compatible index finger for navigation and device use without removing the glove
• Flex leather at the finger knuckles and reversed comfort seams maximise grip feel and control at the lever

Certified Protection as the Starting Point

The GP5 Air L carries CE certification — not a marketing claim, but a tested and verified standard that confirms the glove meets defined impact and abrasion requirements for motorcycle use. For any rider choosing a summer glove, that certification is the clearest signal that protection has not been traded away in favour of ventilation. IXON built this glove as a genuine evolution of the RS TEMPO, refining the fit and the safety architecture for a modern women's cut without softening the protective brief.

Construction and Riding Feel

The outer shell combines goatskin leather across the back of the hand and the palm with polyurethane panels where flex and structure are both needed. Goatskin is chosen by racing glove makers for its fine grain, natural suppleness and resistance to abrasion — it conforms quickly to the hand and transmits throttle, brake and clutch feedback with very little interference. Flex leather sections at the finger joints keep articulation natural throughout a long riding day, while the reversed seam construction removes pressure points that standard stitching can create inside the fingers.

The result is a glove that sits close to the hand, responds precisely at the controls and does not fight the rider when grip pressure changes under braking or corner entry.

Ventilation for Summer and Trackday Use

The GP5 Air L is engineered specifically for warm-weather riding. Numerous perforations across the shell encourage continuous airflow through the glove, keeping hand temperature manageable on sustained summer runs. There is no waterproof membrane and no thermal lining — the focus is entirely on breathability and a lightweight, airy feel. These are gloves for:

• Summer touring and weekend road rides
• Sporting country road sessions in warm conditions
• Trackdays where ventilation matters as much as protection
• Fast, dynamic riding where a heavy glove would dull feedback

Protection Details

The safety architecture of the GP5 Air L goes well beyond a basic knuckle guard. The full protection specification includes:

• Leather-covered knuckle shell
• Racing slider on the palm
• Palm reinforcement panel
• Reinforced little-finger edge
• Anti-rollover reinforcement between ring finger and little finger

The anti-rollover reinforcement is a particularly purposeful detail: in a slide, the outer fingers are among the first points of contact with the road surface, and this targeted zone addresses exactly that risk. It is the kind of protection architecture you expect from a glove aimed at active, performance-oriented riders rather than one optimised purely for appearance.

Gauntlet Fit and Practical Details

The long gauntlet cuff gives the GP5 Air L its unmistakably racing character and provides a secure, stable fit around the wrist and lower forearm. A wrist strap and a wide adjustment tab on the cuff allow precise sizing regardless of jacket sleeve thickness. Additional practical features include the touchscreen-compatible index fingertip — a small but genuinely useful detail for riders who use GPS or smartphone mounts — and the ergonomic sport fit shaped specifically for a women's hand.

Fitment and Compatibility

The IXON GP5 Air L is designed for women riders and is available in sizes XS through 2XL. It is suited to road riding, summer touring and trackday use. The glove is not waterproof or insulated and is not recommended as a primary cold-weather or all-season glove. The all-black colourway pairs cleanly with leathers, textile race suits and virtually any bike livery.
