Most motorcycle gloves on the market today offer protection from the standpoint of the material they are made of on the outside; leather. However, in many instances, basic leather gloves do not cut it when it comes to protection against road rash, cuts and slashes. The sharp edge of a guardrail will most likely slice clean through most traditional leather gloves. 

That said, what if there was a motorcycle glove that not only gave you the protection from you need from the standpoint of being constructed with leather, but also included a Level 5 cut-resistant liner on the inside of the entire glove. The reality is, sharp metal or glass can cut clean through most leather gloves in an instant. Having a cut resistant liner is key when maximum protection is sought.
