Knox Orsa OR3 MK3 Gloves: In-Hand Size Comparison

[@MayoungPunte]

Very informative. You make the world a better place. Thank you.

[@RickMidds]

Thanks for this in-depth size comparison. It was very helpful as I am the same hand size as you. 😉👍

Thx for the video is very explanatory. I just tried XL size today in the shop, i like these gloves very much but it still feels lil bit uncomfortable at palm area. I measured my middle finger after i watch ur vid 20.5 cm, but circumference measurement and the dimensions table definitely sucks. The guy in the shop says it will loose in palm area after a month usage since he uses the same gloves. I think m gonna buy XL. Thx for the vid again..

Very useful,I have same hands size with you

I found the web of the thumb wasn’t deep enough for my hand shape. Decided to buy the Held Sambia as it was a better fit.

Many thanks for the review, I'm still semi-confused though, as to what size. I measure 19cm in length and 21cm around knuckles. Do you think my hand being that touch smaller in length a M would fit me better and i wouldn't have your issue of finger length? Such a shame this glove is barely available in Australia, I can also not go in store and try it on.

[@dblv]

Yeah the edge cases are tough without being able to try on both sizes. If your hand length is 19cm, I would give M size a shot

I find of all gloves knox dont fit. I had large hands and wide thumbs - so if big thumbs try before you buy.

Yeah as amazing as the concept of protection these things are trying to deliver on they really do fit like shit.. I had to do the same thing. Measured in @ a large, bought an xl expecting fuckery. Still having sizing issues with the leather mk2s. The sliders are like an inch or more high, it doesn't fit the L of either hand worth a shit with a huge gap but all fingers fit nicely other than the thumb being long as described, boa system wire takes fiddling just so it rides where its supposed to on the leather otherwise when tightening it ends up on my wrist.. leather bunches up on the back of the hand with mad pressure points inside due to folds of sewn material digging in your hands. As obnoxiously large as the floating knuckle is with it providing maximum protection, it only seems to provide protection for my little and ring finger knuckles as well as a missed opportunity to provide more venting which it doesn't. Pretty absurd honestly how wonky they are. Wanted to love em, turns out the opposite holds true. They're going back.

Yeah glove sizing especially is quite tough. Have you found any gloves that you love? I've come around on the long thumb on these Orsas: when my palms are on the grips, my thumbs are pushed into the glove and they fit well. The internal sewing is a bit uncomfortable, I agree with you there. Not unbearable, but definitely leaves a lot to be desired. The palm sliders seem fine to me but thankfully I haven't had to test their effectiveness yet. Does the placement look fine to you in the video?

[@ottobass4860]

Can you wear these gloves with watch on your wrist? It looks like the boa system would make it uncomfortable

[@dblv]

I don't wear a watch so I can't say for sure. If you don't fully tighten the boa, and your watch isn't too thick, you might be able to get away with it. Or maybe you could shift the watch further up your forearm. But yes, if I wore a watch, these gloves probably would not be my first choice.

[@nawiribrahim]

I have to remove my watch.

[@Nomad-Drifter]

Try loosening you watch strap and pushing it further up your you arm.

[@yusufiliz]

can it be used in winter too?

[@dblv]

I wouldn't use it below about 18C. It's thin and there is zero insulation, so in the winter it will get cold quickly.

[@yusufiliz]

@@dblv what gloves do u recommend at this price range for winter? it will be maximum -5 C and its at maximum

[@dblv]

@@yusufiliz last year I used Rev'it Livengood GTX down to about 5C on a naked bike. My finger tip still got cold, so grip warmers were helpful even with the glove. The Knox Zero3 (mk2?) gloves also look good but I haven't tried them. If you're planning on riding in -5C, I think you will need a source of heat in addition to whatever glove you choose.

@@dblv thank you bro
