Behind the Design: The ARN Race TT

In motorcycle racing, every detail matters. From a rider’s technique to the equipment they trust, small decisions can make a major difference. A pair of motorcycle racing gloves may seem like a simple piece of gear, but they are one of the most important connections between a rider and the bike.

At ARN, we believe that connection is what makes great gear. The ARN Race TT Glove was
developed with one goal in mind: creating a glove that delivers the perfect balance of protection, comfort, and control.

The Race TT Glove was designed alongside Isle of Man TT winner Dean Harrison using real
racing experience and feedback from one of the most demanding environments in motorsports. Dean has earned four of his seven TT victories while wearing this glove, helping demonstrate how thoughtful design and attention to detail can make a difference when performance matters most.

One of the key features of the Race TT Glove is its kangaroo hide leather construction. Known for its lightweight feel and excellent abrasion resistance, kangaroo hide provides riders with the protection they need while maintaining flexibility and comfort. This allows riders to feel more connected to their controls without the added bulk of traditional leather.

Comfort was also a major focus during development. The glove features accordion aramid fiber stretch panels that allow for natural hand movement and reduced tension while riding. Whether you are pushing your limits during a track day, enjoying your favorite roads, or spending hours on your sport bike, the Race TT Glove is designed to move with you.

Another unique feature is the leather palm design. Instead of traditional rubber grip inserts, the Race TT Glove uses a leather palm patch that naturally breaks in over time. As the leather develops with use, it creates a more personalized connection between the rider and the motorcycle.

While built with racing in mind, the Race TT Glove offers benefits for riders beyond the
racetrack. Quality sport bike gloves and track day gloves are about more than speed– they are about confidence, comfort, and safety.

The ARN Race TT Glove represents years of development, racing experience, and a
commitment to creating gear with purpose. Every material and design choice was made to bring riders closer to their motorcycle.

For riders who understand that performance starts with the details, the ARN Race TT Glove is built for your next ride.
