PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Retro classic design
The design of the Fuel is a call back to the golden age of motorcycling, featuring elements from the mid-20th century. They complement the aesthetic of that age and are a statement of style, a connection to the history of motorcycling, and an essential accessory for riders who appreciate the timeless allure of classic motorcycles.
All leather construction
The Fuel is almost entirely constructed from premium goat leather. This is the quintessential material that has been used in motorcycle gloves due to its durability and timeless appeal. The patina that develops on leather gloves over time adds character, making each pair of gloves a reflection of the your journey.
Excellent Ventilation & Breathability
The perforated leather used on the back of the hand as well as the palm allows air flow and helps keep you comfortable over the ride.
Touch screen friendly
The Fuel comes with special conductive panels on the index & thumb finger tips of both hands, allowing usage of mobile devices. This comes in handy when you are navigating the urban jungle, or if you need to call anyone - without having to remove your gloves!
Superior Grip and tactile feedback
The Fuel has ergonomically placed silicone accents on the palms of the gloves to provide excellent grip and control while riding. This helps you ride with greater precision and confidence.
Optimum comfort & fit
The fingers on the Fuel are pre-curved to give you proper fit and comfort, right from the first time you put them on. The stretch panels on the fingers give that added dexterity needed to operate the controls while on the motorcycle.
Knuckle protection
The leather covered EVA padding provides abrasion & impact protection for the Fuel gloves while keeping you comfortable.
Palm protection
A secondary quilted leather layer with EVA padding provides slide protection on the palm.
Classic colorways
The Fuel is available in 2 vintage colorways - black with tan, and black with brown
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Constructed using perforated leather on the back and on the palm to improve dexterity and comfort. The knuckles are protected by leather covered EVA protectors for safety with comfort. The index and thumb finger tips are touch screen sensitive.
STEP 1 -
Measure your hand using a tailor's tape measure There are two key measurements that you need to take into consideration for figuring out your glove size.
A) Circumference -
Wrap the tape measure around your palm at its widest point and lightly close your hand before taking the measurement.
B) Length -
Measure from the tip of the middle finger to the base of your palm at your wrist.
STEP 2 -
Find your glove size by checking hand measurements against the chart provided - If both the measurements do not fall in one particular size - use the larger of the two measures to choose the glove size. - If the two measurements are on the border line between two sizes, try both the sizes and choose the one that offers a better fit.
STEP 1 -
Confirm that the gloves are a comfortable fit. They should not be excessively tight on all fingers (including the thumb) & knuckles. To check this, try the gloves on and form a fist several times and verify if:
1. Adequate room for all fingers (specially thumb) to move and operate controls comfortably.
2. Check the fitment on both hands since your left and right hand sizes do vary. Ensure that the fit on first try is not so tight as to cause discomfort and/or restrict movement
STEP 2 -
Ensure the knuckle protectors are properly positioned.
The way to check this is:
1. Roll your hand into a tight fist and hold the position for 5-10 minutes. This position should be easy to hold without causing any discomfort or causing any stress points.
. Ensure that the edge of the knuckle protector is not over the knuckle when the fist is formed.
The Fuel gloves are designed primarily as daily use gloves for the retro classics. These will not offer the same level of on-road protection as our street gloves.
Fit and comfort are subjective matters and will vary from person to person. We recommend trying out the gloves before finalizing the purchase.

Materials needed:
Microfiber/ soft cloth Small bowl or mixing cup Absorbent towels Soft-bristled brush Diluted cleaning solution Lukewarm water
How to clean & dry gloves?
1. Clean the gloves as soon as you are able to, after your off-road session. This will make removing any stains easier. Leaving the gloves un-clean will make removing any stains tougher.
2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix a portion of diluted cleaning solution in lukewarm water.
3. Dampen a microfiber cloth with the mixture and gently wipe the stained areas. If there are stains which you are unable to remove using a damp cloth, use a soft bristled brush soaked in a mild pH neutral soap and rinse off using cold water. Please note that using a brush could lead to piling which will not be covered under warranty.
4. Clean the gloves starting at the wrist and working toward each fingertip. Be sure to clean well between each finger. Keep moving to a clean area of the cloth as the dirt is transferred.
5. Rinse the cloth often as the dirt is transferred. Turn the gloves over and repeat on the other side.
6. DO NOT USE HOT WATER
7. Do not use detergents, fabric stain removers, bleach or any chemicals for cleaning.
8. Do not wash the gloves in a washing machine.
9. Dip dry the gloves after cleaning in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
10. Do not wring the gloves.
How to store?
When gloves are stored wet or in a non-ventilated area, this may cause deformations and ruin your gloves, not to mention this allows mildew to grow on the leather causing discoloration and damage.
1. Make sure that your gloves are completely dry before you store them.
2. Place them in a breathable cotton bag to protect them from dust but with enough air circulation to prevent mildew from forming.
3. Store them in a cool, dry, well ventilated area
Warranty
We offer a 12 month warranty on manufacturing and material defects. Our gloves are made in the same factories that manufacture for top brands like Dainese, Alpinestars, Furygan, Rev’It, etc. Please click here for details.
Repairs
Minor repairs of opened stitches, velcro etc due to normal wear and tear can be done at a reasonable charge. Send us an email with pictures so we can determine if the gloves can be repaired or not. Please click here for details.
At ViaTerra, we recognize that accidents can happen on the road, leading to the loss or damage of a single glove. For selected gloves, we are offering an Individual Glove Replacement Service (paid) to assist riders in such situations.
How It Works: If you've lost or damaged one glove and would rather not purchase a new pair, contact our customer service team. While availability cannot be guaranteed, we endeavor to help riders find a matching glove. Occasionally, we have single gloves in a pair that don't meet our QC requirements. We figured that this would be cost effective to our existing customers, by replacing only what you need, rather than buying a complete new pair. We're happy to reunite mismatched gloves instead of discarding pairs with a single damaged glove. Contact us to ensure you're fully equipped for your journeys!
