The Honda SP X 3 Gloves are engineered for the optimal blend of functionality, comfort, and breathability in a sport glove with Honda identity. A stretch woven top hand enhances breathability and flexibility, and a 3D mesh top hand version extends this further. Synthetic leather overlays on the palm deliver durability and grip where it’s most needed, and perforated leather across the palm improves ventilation and feel. TPU double-density knuckle protection with a lateral curvature that follows the hand shape provides comfort, ventilation directly through the knuckle, and 3D ergonomic inner shaping for optimised knuckle comfort.

A finger bridge designed for street use protects and preserves freedom of movement, and a compact cuff closure reduces bulk for a streamlined look. A cut-back design on the first and second fingers frees movement for the control fingers specifically. Wrap-around reinforcement on the outer palm and pinky protects and reinforces critical areas. TPR palm slider and TPR finger sliders add abrasion protection, and touchscreen compatibility is built into the thumb and index finger sidewall. An integrated pull tab makes entry and exit easy. CE certified Knuckle Protection KP1.
