AJSAMCO produces motorcycle gloves built to EN 13594 at Level 1 and Level 2. Short-cuff and gauntlet styles in leather, Amara, and textile. Private label for brands in USA, UK, and Europe.
Motorcycle gloves are certified under a different standard from jackets and suits. EN 13594 — not EN 17092 — governs protective gloves for motorcycle riders, and it defines two protection levels: Level 1 (general riding) and Level 2 (higher impact protection). AJSAMCO produces both levels in short-cuff and gauntlet styles across three primary materials.
Note: Gloves sold in the EU must carry a CE mark under EN 13594 if they are marketed as protective PPE. Gloves marketed purely as fashion or lifestyle accessories may not require CE certification, but carrying the mark significantly widens the brand's market access and retail distribution options.
Short-cuff gloves end at the wrist or slightly above and are the most common style across the market. Suitable for summer, urban, and adventure use. Our short-cuff gloves are available in cowhide leather, Amara synthetic leather, and textile, with CE knuckle protection (hard shell or soft EVA foam) and palm slider pads at Level 1 and Level 2. Wrist closure via velcro strap is standard; elasticated or button-close cuffs are available at no additional cost.
Short-cuff gloves at CE Level 1 are the volume product in most brand catalogues — affordable to produce, widely stocked, and appropriate for the largest rider segment (urban and summer use). Level 2 short-cuff gloves occupy the premium tier and command a higher retail price. We produce both.
Gauntlet gloves extend past the wrist to cover the forearm, providing weather protection and additional impact coverage. Our gauntlet styles include a full-length leather gauntlet (popular with cruiser and touring riders), a short gauntlet (palm-to-mid-forearm), and a waterproof gauntlet with internal Gore-Tex-equivalent membrane. CE certification at Level 1 and Level 2 is available on all gauntlet styles.
Gauntlet gloves are popular with brands targeting the UK, Scandinavian, and German touring markets, where rain protection is a functional requirement rather than a seasonal option. Gauntlet gloves typically carry a higher margin than short-cuff styles due to their greater material content and appeal to quality-conscious buyers.
Natural cowhide leather is the premium material for motorcycle gloves. Provides the highest abrasion resistance of the three options and meets EN 13594 test requirements at both Level 1 and Level 2 in most constructions. Ages well and develops a patina with use. Available in natural, black, brown, tan, and custom dye colors.
Amara is a polyurethane synthetic that closely replicates the feel and appearance of leather. It is lighter, more consistent in thickness than natural leather, and lower cost. Amara is the most common material for Level 1 short-cuff gloves. It is not suitable for Level 2 certification in most constructions, but for Level 1 it passes EN 13594 requirements reliably. Touchscreen-compatible Amara fingertips are available.
Textile gloves use woven nylon or Cordura in place of leather. Lighter and better ventilated than leather or Amara, but with lower abrasion resistance. Textile gloves at CE Level 1 are most appropriate for summer and warm-weather markets. Knuckle protection (CE Level 1 or Level 2 rated hard-shell knuckle guard) is included as standard.
Motorcycle gloves are certified under EN 13594 — not EN 17092, which governs jackets, suits, and pants. EN 13594 defines two protection levels: Level 1 (general riding, minimum impact and abrasion protection) and Level 2 (higher impact protection, for sport and touring use). AJSAMCO produces both levels with certification managed by our team.
Yes. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips (conductive thread or conductive pad at index and thumb tip) are included as standard on all our gloves at no additional cost. The system is compatible with smartphone and GPS touchscreens at typical ambient temperatures.
Level 1 is the entry-level CE protection for motorcycle gloves — suitable for everyday urban and touring use. Level 2 requires higher impact resistance at the knuckle (harder or thicker protector) and higher abrasion resistance at the palm. Level 2 gloves are appropriate for sport riding and track days. Level 2 protectors are bulkier and add cost, but justify a premium retail price and improved protection credentials.
MOQ for CE-ready gloves is typically 50–100 pairs per style, per color. The MOQ is lower than for jackets and suits because gloves require less material and have shorter cut-and-sew time per unit. For non-CE gloves (lifestyle or fashion styles), MOQ may be lower. Confirm MOQ at the briefing stage.
