MasterGloves Review: $49 Hard-Knuckle Gloves Sold for Motorcycling and Work

Our verdict

Fine for light work and play, not for motorcycling. MasterGloves are full-finger gloves with a moulded rubber knuckle shell and padded finger strips, a common "tactical" design that gives decent grip and some knock protection for yard jobs, airsoft or cycling. But the page sells them as motorcycle gloves with "maximum protection in any environment", shows no CE rating to the motorcycle glove standard, and charges extra for touchscreen tips and waterproofing. MasterGloves score 3.5 out of 10, held back by safety claims and price.

The short version

• What it is: hard-knuckle full-finger gloves with a hook-and-loop wrist strap.
• Price: $49 for one pair on 6 October 2026, with a five-pack for $149 flagged as the best seller.
• Best trait: grip and knuckle protection for light, active jobs.
• Biggest drawback: sold for motorcycling without certification, with features sold extra.
• Our score: 3.5 out of 10.

Pros & cons

Hard-knuckle gloves are a useful general-purpose design. The pros reflect that. The cons are about the motorcycle claim, missing ratings and value.

How it works

MasterGloves are made from synthetic leather-look panels and stretch fabric, with a rubber shell moulded over the knuckles and rubber strips on the backs of the fingers. A hook-and-loop strap closes the wrist. The shell spreads knocks across the back of the hand; the palm gives grip. There is no stated insulation, waterproof membrane or cut-resistant lining in the standard version.

1. 01

   Choose your size

   Step 1: Measure around your palm below the knuckles and pick from the four sizes the seller offers.

2. 02

   Pull on and fasten

   Step 2: Slide your hand in, settle the knuckle shell over your knuckles and close the wrist strap snugly.

3. 03

   Use for light jobs

   Step 3: Wear them for grip and knock protection in light work, sport or riding a bicycle, and choose certified gloves for motorcycling.

The page title calls them "heavy duty gloves", "protective gloves", "highly durable material gloves", "leather protection gloves", "motorcycle gloves" and "multi-purpose gloves". The six bullets promise lightweight heavy-duty gloves, "maximum protection in any environment", four-season use, an ergonomic design with "anti allergens materials", suitability for everyone and four standard sizes.

What the page leaves out

There is no material list, size chart, cut rating, CE marking or care instructions.

Who it's for

MasterGloves suit people who want grippy, knock-resistant gloves for light outdoor work, airsoft and paintball players, and cyclists who want some knuckle protection. They are not for motorcycling, cut hazards or winter cold. Our WildSurvive Pro review covers an outdoor kit from the same checkout.

• People who want grippy, knock-resistant gloves for light outdoor work
• Airsoft and paintball players
• Cyclists who want some knuckle protection

Yard and DIY jobs

Moving logs, stones or tools is easier with grippy gloves that protect knuckles from knocks.

Airsoft and paintball

Hard knuckles help against hits and scrapes.

Cyclists

Some riders like knuckle protection for falls at low speed.

Who should skip it

Skip MasterGloves if you ride a motorcycle and need certified crash protection, if you work with blades, glass or sheet metal, or if you need warm winter gloves.

• Motorcyclists who need certified crash protection
• Anyone working with blades, glass or sheet metal who needs cut-rated gloves
• People wanting insulated winter gloves

Can MasterGloves really protect you on a motorcycle?

Not proven. They show no CE certification to EN 13594, the standard for motorcycle gloves in the EU and UK. That standard tests abrasion, tear and cut resistance, seams and, at level 2, knuckle impact. Gloves sold for riding in those markets must be certified. A rubber knuckle shell alone does not show how a glove behaves sliding on tarmac.

What the standard covers

Satra, a testing body, explains on its EN 13594 page that the standard sets minimum performance for motorcycle gloves against mechanical risks, with two levels, and that a "KP" mark shows knuckle protection has passed an impact test.

What this means for you: for riding, look for CE marking to EN 13594 with a level and, ideally, KP.

"Maximum protection in any environment"

Without cut, abrasion, heat or water ratings, there is no basis for this claim.

"Four season compatible"

No insulation is stated, and waterproofing is a $9 add-on.

"Anti allergens materials"

The materials are not named. If you react to latex or certain dyes, ask the seller.

How much do MasterGloves cost, and are the add-ons needed?

On 6 October 2026, one pair of MasterGloves cost $49, with the five-pack at $149 flagged as the best seller. The checkout offered a touchscreen compatible layer for $4, a waterproof layer for $9, a car USB charger adapter for $4 and a 3-year warranty for $9. Similar generic tactical gloves sell widely for less.

MasterGloves price and bundles

Prices are in US dollars as listed on 6 October 2026. You can check today's packages on the MasterGloves order page (opens G Com Pte Ltd in a new tab).

Touchscreen compatible layer

For $4, "an extra touchscreen enabler layer". The image shows a gloved fingertip dialling on a phone. Useful if you need your phone outdoors.

Waterproof layer

For $9, "an additional waterproof layer". The image shows the black glove with labels for the strap, knuckle armour and finger strips, not the waterproof layer.

Car adapter and warranty

A $4 car USB charger has nothing to do with gloves; skip it. A 3-year warranty for $9 on gloves is hard to justify.

Who sells it

The order page names G Com Pte Ltd at 137 Market Street in Singapore, with the email support@g63com.com and a phone number. The footer gives the country as Hong Kong. The page code says charges appear on your card statement as panameedia.

Are MasterGloves better than certified motorcycle gloves or work gloves?

No. For riding, certified motorcycle gloves are the safe choice; for work, rated work gloves suit the task better. Many entry-level CE-certified motorcycle gloves cost a similar amount and show their level on the label. Work gloves rated for cuts or impacts are widely available from hardware stores.

How did we score MasterGloves?

MasterGloves score 3.5 out of 10: claim accuracy 0.4, build durability 1.0, price competitiveness 0.5, usability 1.2 and owner satisfaction 0.4, each out of 2. The hard-knuckle design is practical for light work and sport. The score falls on motorcycle marketing without certification, "maximum protection in any environment", touchscreen and waterproofing sold extra, no materials or size chart, and a price above similar gloves.

How the score breaks down

We use the five criteria on our how we test page, each out of 2.

What owners say

We found no Trustpilot profile for the gadgetxaura.com store and no retailer reviews for MasterGloves by that name. Owners of similar hard-knuckle tactical gloves on large retail sites tend to like the grip and look, and complain about sizes running small, stitching that splits at the fingertips and sweaty hands in warm weather.

What we did, and did not, do

Nobody on our team has used MasterGloves. We read the offer page our link opens and its page code on 6 October 2026, along with Satra's guide to EN 13594 and the pages that rank for MasterGloves. The refund and returns terms are as we recorded them from the site's terms page on 4 October 2026.

How to use MasterGloves for the best fit and life

Measure your hand before choosing a size, settle the knuckle shell over your knuckles, and fasten the wrist strap firmly but comfortably. Use them for light jobs and sport, hand wash and air dry them, and pick certified or rated gloves for riding and cutting hazards.

1. Measure your palm. Around the hand below the knuckles.
2. Check the knuckle fit. Shell over the knuckles, not the fingers.
3. Fasten the strap. Snug at the wrist.
4. Light jobs and sport. Not motorcycling.
5. Hand wash. Mild soap, cool water.
6. Air dry. Away from heaters.
7. Replace when worn. Thin palms or split seams.

In warm weather

Remove them during breaks to let your hands breathe.

Touchscreens

Without the add-on, use a stylus or remove one glove.
