Bear Knuckles gloves are designed to fit tightly for better control and dexterity. Our sizing guide reflects a glove that will fit like a second skin. With regular break-in, the leather will expand and conform to the natural shape of your hand. If you desire a loose fitting glove, we recommend sizing up (L instead of M).
Conditioning Leather for First Time Use
To achieve a perfect fit, Bear Knuckles leather gloves should conform tightly to your hands when wearing for the first time as leather will stretch.
- Put leather gloves on
- Spritz with water
Note: If gloves are water/oil resistant, use mink oil or leather conditioner instead of water - Wear until dry
Maintenance & Cleaning
All Bear Knuckles gloves are safe to hand or machine wash and dry. After machine washing, gloves will shrink to original size and may be stiff. Follow Break-in Steps above to recondition.Customer Reviews
EDIT: I was contacted by the company after leaving my review, and ended up speaking with some very high ups. Apparently I was sent a prototype version of this glove that has not been fully tested. The original version has leather all the way to the fingertips and then a touch sensitive patch sewn on top. The version I got my hands on (into lol) only had leather UPTO the felt bit. My original review still stands because the prototype was genuinely pretty bad, but the company did send me a new pair of the original style and was very gracious about the whole ordeal. They took my criticisms, and recommendations seriously and I can't wait to see what the improved iteration is going to look like. I will post another review of the new pair once I get a chance to put them through the paces.
Whoever decided to put FELT FINGERTIPS on gloves rated for abrasion has clearly never had to use their own glove for actual work. I'm an HVAC filter technician so I handle lots of sharp metal wires all the time so I figured that gloves rated for puncture and abrasion would be able to handle the work. (They couldn't) To be clear, the actual leather seems to be holding up fine, but the felt fingertips (I'm assuming they're for touch screen?) wore through about half way through my first day of work with them making the most important part of a pair of gloves completely useless. It's genuinely baffling to me that the designer would put essentially just felt on the fingertips for these types of gloves. The fingertips would probably be gone the first time you accidentally brushed against a belt sander.
