Noru Kiryu Glove

This NORU glove runs a bit snug as compared to other American brands we carry. I’d say this one runs only slightly small, so I’d advise you to choose the size you normally wear in gloves. If you are between sizes, then choose larger. Finger sizing is a bit slimmer than average so those with slender hands will probably like them. Those with shorter/thicker fingers may not.

Hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.

The NORU Kiryu glove is a short cuff mostly-mesh glove for use in hot weather. Knuckle armor is included.

Like the other NORU gloves we’ve reviewed this season, the Kiryu is a nice feeling glove… especially for the price. This one is made of mesh on the back of the hand and synthetic suede in the palm. The idea is to get max airflow for hot summer riding temps. Be advised, the material used in this glove aren’t as protective as perforated leather or other more expensive hot weather designs, but for what it is, it ain’t bad. The knuckle armor is actually the bright spot among the protective features. It is substantial and comfortable.

For very hot temps, a mesh-type glove like this may be the only glove you can be comfortable with, and this one compares well with a number of other mesh gloves we sell. For milder weather though, I’d try and steer you to a perforated leather design like the Furo or Sokudo for more protection. :: Paul, 04-05-21
