Kona Supreme Gloves: Review in Process

The folks of Kona Bicycles just sent me a pair of gloves to test…and they are super sweet!

Here’s some info:

MSRP: $45

Men’s Supreme Glove in Black/White – also available in Black/Red and Orange/Blue

Air mesh ventilation panels
Chamude palm w/chamude overlays for increased durability
Silicone grip finger tips for better brake lever control
Compression molded airprene knuckle pads
TPR tab closure for adjustable fit and
Kevlar skid pad for added palm durability

I’m totally digging the white and black, makes me feel sophisticated!

One of my favorite features would be the sticky white Kona screen print on the finger tips. This allows for great gripping action when handling the brakes.

I also like how the knuckle extendeds when your finger is bent.

I’ve already been able to get a few rides with these gloves and so far I love them. The white is a tad hard to keep white…just this Saturday I spilled some energy gel on the white section. Then when I was taking my bike off the rack, the back of my hand hit the greasy chain. I’ll make sure I give this glove a good beating to see how well it holds up. But if this glove is anything like my last Kona glove, it should be pretty resilient.
