Viaterra Fuel Retro Classic Leather Riding Gloves

Premium goat leather construction and quilted palm reinforcement give you long-lasting comfort, grip, and protection with that unmistakable old-school character.

Perforated leather zones, pre-curved fingers, and stretch panels across the knuckles offer great breathability and an easy fit - right out of the box.

TPR-backed knuckle protectors and EVA foam inserts on the palm provide slide and impact protection, making them as functional as they are timeless.

Material:-

Crafted from premium full-grain goat leather, the Fuel glove delivers a durable, supple feel that improves with age. Perforated panels on the palm and back enhance breathability for warm urban rides. A quilted leather overlay on the palm adds grip, character, and abrasion resistance - without compromising on retro styling.

Protection:-

Designed for city use, the Fuel features leather-covered TPR knuckle protectors with EVA foam backing for everyday impact absorption. The reinforced palm panel with EVA padding offers basic slide protection for low-speed spills. It’s the perfect blend of heritage aesthetics and functional safety for urban riders.

Comfort Fit:-

Pre-curved fingers and stretch panels across the knuckles give the Fuel a naturally broken-in fit. Touchscreen tips on the index and thumb make it easy to use your phone on the go. Lightweight and flexible, it stays comfortable through long commutes without losing its old-school charm.

How to Measure Glove Size.

Step 1 – Measure Your Hand
Grab a tailor’s measuring tape and take two quick measurements:
Circumference – Wrap the tape around the widest part of your palm. Lightly close your hand before noting the number.
Length – Measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm (where your wrist starts).

Step 2 – Check the Size Chart
Match your measurements with the size chart to find the right fit.
If your length and circumference fall in different size categories, go with the larger one.
If you're in between sizes, try both and pick the one that feels better on the bike.
A good fit means better control, less fatigue, and max protection—don’t guess it.

How to Check Glove Fitment

STEP 1 - Confirm that the gloves are a comfortable fit.
They should not be excessively tight on all fingers (including the thumb) & knuckles.
To check this, try the gloves on and form a fist several times and verify if:
1. Adequate room for all fingers (specially thumb) to move and operate controls comfortably.
2. Check the fitment on both hands since your left and right hand sizes do vary.
Ensure that the fit on first try is not so tight as to cause discomfort and/or restrict movement

STEP 2 - Ensure the knuckle protectors are properly positioned.
The way to check this is:
1. Roll your hand into a tight fist and hold the position for 5-10 minutes. This position should be easy to hold without causing any discomfort or causing any stress points.
2. Ensure that the edge of the knuckle protector is not over the knuckle when the fist is formed."

Care and Storage.

Cleaning Your Gloves
What you’ll need:
Microfiber cloth, soft-bristled brush, absorbent towel, pH-neutral leather cleaner, leather conditioner, lukewarm water

Steps:
Mix a bit of leather cleaner with lukewarm water.
Dip the microfiber cloth, wring it slightly, and gently wipe the gloves clean.
Mud splatters? Let them dry first, then brush them off before wiping.
Work from wrist to fingertips, getting between each finger.
Rinse your cloth often so you’re not rubbing dirt back in.
Flip and repeat on the other side.

Important:
No hot water.
No harsh cleaners, fuel, fabric softener, or scrubbing.
No machines or pressure washers.
Don’t wring them.

Drying Wet Gloves
Gently press with an absorbent towel—do this even if it’s just rainwater.
Let them dry naturally, indoors, away from sunlight and heat.
Never use a dryer, radiator, or direct sunlight.
While drying, wear them occasionally to keep the shape.

Conditioning the Leather
Once dry, condition them. This keeps the leather flexible, breathable, and crack-free.
Use a good leather conditioner - nothing that clogs the pores.
Rub it in evenly and let it soak.
Wipe off any extra conditioner.

Storing Your Gloves
Only store when completely dry.
Use a breathable cotton bag with a few packs of silica gel - skip plastic.
Keep them in a cool, ventilated place.
Take care of them, and they’ll take care of you on every ride.

Things to Remember.

1. The Fuel gloves are designed for retro-style daily riding, not for aggressive sport or touring use.
2. The all-leather build offers long-term durability but requires regular care to maintain softness and flexibility.
3. As leather naturally breaks in, initial snugness is normal - ensure there's enough room to form a fist comfortably.
4. Avoid contact between the Velcro and perforated leather to prevent premature wear. Store gloves in a cool, dry place after use.
