Most leather gloves are built for an extended, flat hand. Bear knuckles gloves use our patented Double Wedge design which is built for the natural curve of the fingers. This puts less strain on the stitching/seams, which in turn provides greater durability and more comfort. Excess leather is removed so it does not bunch in your palm, providing a superior grip. We've created a fiercely loyal customer base who remark that our gloves feel "broken in" right off the shelf and with our patented design there's no one like us. Stronger, tougher, better, bear knuckles.
