If you are anything like us, you can’t have too many pairs of bike gloves. From chunky winter road gloves to gossamer thin summer motocross gloves, we’ve got a box full of options. But the latest addition to our riding kit is the oddly named 100% Brisker Gloves.
RACING HERITAGE
The 100% brand is synonymous with the American racing legends of the 70s and 80s, from Bob Hannah to Gary Bailey, and with a back story like that, you can’t get much cooler. OK so on the trails we’re not quite so committed to giving 100% effort all the time, but hell we love the sentiment.
The 100 % Brisker glove gives more insulation that the motocross gloves in their range thanks to the soft-shell material, so is ideal for those chilly morning rides by blocking out the damp cold air, keeping your hands toasty warm and flexible on the controls.
TOP FEATURES
The 100% Brisker Glove has some great features for such a simple and lightweight glove
- Neoprene cuff with velcro securing strap to keep gloves in place
- Moisture wicking microfiber interior to maintain insulation,
- Reflective graphics to improve visibility
- Single layer Clarion palm for comfort
- Silicone printed palm graphics that increase grip in damp conditions
- Integrated smart fabric to allow phone / GPS use without removing gloves
And if that wasn’t enough, it comes in seven different colours with women’s sizes too – Man, they are spoiling you! We’ve gone for the Henry Ford option as it’s the most suitable and tends to match other riding kit better, but if you like a bit of fluoro yellow then crack on …

ON THE TRAILS
The 100% Brisker gloves are really comfortable to wear out on the trails on everything from lightweight enduro bikes to full on adventure bikes, although clearly they lack the protection of leather gloves if your ride includes lots of road work. Sizing is good although you may have to go up a size as they are a snug fit.
As for price, they are listed at $29.50 on the 100% site, but there are plenty of online deals out there – we got ours for a smidge under £15.00 delivered on Amazon. Now that’s a sweet deal.
If you want a bit more weather protection, then you could upgrade to the Hydromatic Brisker which has a waterproof breathable membrane inside, single layer polyurethane palm and a full neoprene cuff to keep out the worst of the weather.
APPEARANCE
DURABILITY
We love the look of the 100% Brisker gloves – cool graphics, nice simple design and reflective details. Pefect.
The 100% Brisker gloves are well made and designed, so should last well for a fabric glove, but not as well as leather.
COMFORT
VALUE
We can’t fault these gloves on comfort, they are warm and soft like a hug from your Nan. They are great gloves for trail riding.
At the price we paid, you cannot fault the value. Even at full price they are great value for trail riding gloves
