Milwaukee Leather MG7514 Mens Distressed Brown Leather Gloves with Gel Palm and Knuckle Protectors

After a month of daily use, I am overall satisfied with the distressed brown version of these gloves if the weather is warm. They are snazzy looking and compliment my brown leather moto jacket well. Others have mentioned that they run small. The 2XL is a snug fit on me and quite comfortable - the finger length is the best I have owned yet. After some thought on size comparison, I feel that using nitrile glove sizing is going to be helpful. If you have experience with different brands of nitrile gloves, then you know that once you hit a certain price point the gloves, while very different in “good for this and bad for that”, share something in that they are all very SIMILAR in sizing - at least at 2XL. My moto gloves fit like my nitrile gloves. I have many years of experience with them, they are not cheap, and I periodically try out new brands looking for value as I am rough on them in manual labor several times each week. I am partial to 8mm - 10mm thickness and there aren’t a ton of brands that offer that. Leading up to my point, I am saying that if your nitrile gloves fit snug, a work well, and are comfortable at your size then these moto gloves will fit very similar - again at 2XL. The the knuckle armor is just a little too narrow to be a perfect fit, but it is not uncomfortable. I am a large mammal by genetics, not pizza and beer, and I have big hands/feet. If you have super wide hands that force you into the 2XL size range, then you should shop something else as the armor will be a major problem. The leather is high quality and anyone who wants to believe that a tight fit will stretch out over time may end up waiting for the rapture. My gloves get used daily for minimum 20 minutes at a go and the fit is still the same snug fit after 30+ days. Not going to stretch from normal wear anytime soon. I really do love these gloves at the $30 price point that I paid for them, I would be okay with them at $40 and not so much for anything more. As stated above, the leather is quality and they are well constructed excepting the narrow knuckle armor, but beyond the palm the leather is thin enough that they are no good to me once the riding T slides down below 50°F. I have lived at high altitude for a long time and have been riding my bike up here since 2011 in all kinds of cold. I like the cold, I’m acclimated to the area, and I’m spoiled with stock heated grips on my BMW. I rode out in 45°F weather with these gloves and returned to get my old gloves within 15 minutes. My hands were so cold I could barely feel the heated grips turned up to 11 and the high setting is usually too hot for comfort above 30°F for me. Snug leather fit indeed. On the bright side, these gloves will last me about forever, normal use, since I have about a 4-6 month window allowing them each year. It is fall as I write this and I’ve been carrying “backup gloves with me for a minute and now they are more like tandem gloves as they get switched to my hands in the afternoon every day now. Obviously, these particular Milwaukee motto’s are not a good choice for lower ranges of temperature in versatility. Higher ranges seem well suited to their construction. While I currently have good cold weather moto gloves, I would shop this brand to replace them as my first choice expecting value with no hesitation. Other than a desire for just a little bit more width in the knuckle armor it is easy to recommend these gloves for warm weather use. I don’t feel misled or otherwise negative about the gloves and maintain the 5 star rating because I made an assumption about them, and that led to expecting a level of performance that is not part of the manufacturer’s description, and oops. I was about to put them away until 2024, a little sad because they look better than my other gloves, and decided it was a good time for an honest review. Hope this is helpful. Read more

Super soft but well made. Supple is the term that comes to mind. The “touch” takes some getting used to on the screen of my phone or the motorcycle. It works but requires more pressure than you normally would use. Have only used them for a couple of rides but so far they are good. Read more

Just received these, so cannot make any claims about durability. There are a couple of points to make, though... One, they look great, and the fit is good - snug, as they should be. There is robust armor over the hand knuckles, and tiny spongy little armorettes (I'm copywriting this term) for the finger knuckles. What I think may be an issue is that the leather feels thin, unlike other motorcycle gloves I own. The stitching and build are good quality, and the touchscreen fingertips are useful, if that's important to you. I wouldn't wear these in a competition scenario, but they look the bomb with my brown leather jacket. Time will tell how long the leather holds up. Certainly affordable. Read more

Comfortable and they look great. I have an older bomber jacket and they look great with it, or without it. The leather is soft and supple with plenty of stretch when you close a fist. Knuckles and fingers both have protection with some palm padding. I never hope to test them against the road, but they will likely take the initial hurt before my hand. Price is good for comfortable, light duty riding gloves. By the measurement, 10cm is an XL. I ordered 2XL and the fit is good. People say I have long fingers. They are also warm. Good from perhaps 40° to 80°F. The short wrist length, thickness, and color will make for cold/hot hands outside of range. The leather is also very pliable and soft. Don't risk using them even occasionally as work gloves. Read more

Great gloves. 💯 strong #must buy Read more

Two trouble spots. Gloves fit great and feel good. The touch screen capability was hit or miss; at times, I had to remove my glove to change screens on my GPS. The area of Velcro where the gloves close has a major flaw. It leaves an open spot where you get a single spot where you get sunburned on your hand. I shouldn't have to put sunscreen on just a single spot of my hand to prevent sunburn; a glove should offer FULL sun protection. Read more
