Cortech The Bully Gloves

Most Cortech gloves have an “American” and most of the new Cortech gloves for 2019 fit that way and are consistent with other US brand gloves we sell. This particular glove has more of a “sport” fit than the others. I’d equate it to how European gloves fit such as Alpinestars and REV’IT! which run about one half size smaller, size-for-size, than the American brands. These gloves aren’t snug enough for me to recommend up-sizing, but if you are between sizes, choose the larger. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.

The Bully glove is an all-leather street glove with more significant protective features than many others with cruiser/retro styling.

The Bully is styled much like its cousin models, the Slacker and Scrapper, but there is more substance here. Over the knuckle, behind the leather, is a molded knuckle protector and in the heel of the hand, instead of dense foam, there is a hard plastic slider. These features are more commonly found in sport-type gloves. But these protective features are disguised pretty well under brown or black leather. And the styling of this model, with the accordion-style leather on the back of the hand, definitely has a cruiser/retro vibe.

This glove has both solid leather and perforated leather panels but a lot of perforated leather is over the solid knuckle piece which won’t flow air, so I’d recommend this glove for more mild weather…say cool to warm weather in the spring and fall. They’ll be able to handle cool mornings better than vented or fully-perforated gloves. These gloves have a very comfortable nylon liner which allows you to slide your hands in easily. The liner makes them VERY comfortable, and you’ll like that the dye from the back side of the leather won’t come off on your hands as it can in unlined gloves.

These gloves have a simple Velcro tab at the wrist to hold them on your hand, which is an important safety feature in itself so the gloves won’t slide off if you fall. These gloves are a few bucks more than the other similar models I mentioned, but personally, I think for the armor over the knuckles and in the heel area of the hand, they’ll be worth it (if/when you take a spill). And those features are well disguised so you still get the same “look”. :: Paul, 09-17-19

Cortech says: “The Bully” leather short cuff glove has more than meets the eye. Soft and supple, with just the right amount of styling on the outside. But underneath this gentle exterior lies a hardened and tough interior ready to defend and protect.
