Kangaroo Leather Palm

The palms of racing gloves are reinforced with a double layer of premium-quality kangaroo leather to provide a very high level of abrasion resistance in the event of a crash. Due to its high abrasion resistance, kangaroo leather enables Macna to use a thinner piece which in turn provides better feeling at the handlebars.

Goat leather

Goat leather is a strong leather with a rough texture. It is flexible, soft and durable.

Cow Leather

Cow leather is a strong and durable leather which retains its shape very well. It is strong, robust and has a fine regular structure.

Aramid (reinforced)

Impact areas are reinforced on the inside with a layer of Aramid fabric against the outer shell. Provides extra resistance against abrasion, rips and tears where it is most important.

Finger Bridge

The most vulnerable digit on your hand. The little finger, or pinky finger if you will, is a notorious topic when it comes to developing a racing glove. It’s easily injured, and if you land on it at a wrong angle, it’s prone to dislocate. Operating on it is tricky and recovery can be a big long pain in the butt.

So when it comes to the pinky finger, you gotta be careful.

Now you probably think: “What’s the big deal? Just wrap that bad boy in 5 layers of leather and add some carbon fiber plates on top of it”, and you’re right - you’d have a virtually indestructable glove.

But nobody will wear it. Above all, racers want feedback and ease of motion. If the glove and fingers are too heavily reinforced, they lack moveability. It’s the eternal balance between safety and flexibility.

Now you can have both. In several years of working together with world championship riders, Macna innovated and maximized tearing- and abrasion resistance - with solutions you won’t find at competing brands - without sacrificing any moveability and feedback. Nobody can guarantee a 100% safety rate, but Macna is pretty sure they’ve got the safest pinky finger on the paddock now.

Armax™

In order to keep improving the safety of Macna’s products and thus of motorcyclists, their designers are constantly being challenged. In this case, they were tasked to find and revise the notorious weakest link during a crash.

After analysing hundreds of suits and gloves caught in high-speed crashes, low speed crashes, high siders and low siders, the weakest link turned out to be anything but surprising: the seams.

What did surprise; seams can be found in all major impact zones like elbows, knees, and shoulders. Has the industry been holding things together with a piece of string? Yikes! This could use some macnafication.

Armax™ knuckle protector

This patented design is developed with safety as main focus. A hard abrasion resistant cover is mounted on a tough solid base plate at the knuckle area. Protecting your knuckles from impact and it can act as a slider. The seamless design makes the knuckle part less subjected to wear and tear.

Armax™ palm protector

Ergomically shaped, the palm protector acts as a sliding pad, but also spreads the force of impact, minimizing injury of the scaphoid bone. Macna’s Armax™ palm protector is attached to the glove with just two small holes and no seams. This way the leather stays more intact, keeping the glove as strong as possible.

Armax™ finger protector
External hard protection elements mounted on the fingers. Protecting them from impact and can also act as little sliding pads. Attached onto the fingers without creating large holes and using seams, keeping the leather solid as a rock.
