Would the Blackjacks work for winter riding?

No. The perforated leather offers decent airflow for summer but poor insulation and water resistance for cold or wet conditions. Heated gloves or waterproof winter options would be a better choice.

How is the tactile feel and control with the Blackjack gloves?

Excellent. The flexible construction provides great dexterity and feel, ideal for operating controls, gripping the bars, or working the clutch and brake levers.

What is the difference in protection between the Blackjacks and proper racing gloves?

Most racing gloves feature complete 360-degree hard knuckle protectors, finger armor, palm sliders, and TPU or carbon fiber layers. The Blackjacks lack extra layers and substantial armor in key areas.

Will the conductive fingertip material still work on touchscreen devices?

Yes. The leather maintains conductivity even after some wear for using mobile devices. However, heavily abraded fingers will eventually degrade responsiveness.

The retro style also looks fantastic and will surely get admiring looks around town. However, the minimally padded knuckles bend and flex with pressure, raising concerns about their ability to disperse impact.

Despite the focus on style, the goatskin leather does seem durable, especially with the extra reinforcement on the fingers. The light elastic panels also help the gloves (1) conform to my hands through a range of motions.

But while fine for relaxed rides, I wouldn’t trust the Blackjacks to perform as well as true motorcycle racing gloves in a slide or crash.
