There’s nothing quite like blipping the throttle, shifting down a gear and roaring through a corner. It’s a magical feeling that never gets old, and it’s the inspiration behind our first glove design.
Constructed from premium goat leather, the ‘Blip’ glove is super soft, yet extremely durable and abrasion resistant. To provide the ultimate amount of flex, we’ve designed the entire top panel to conform the shape of your hand, no matter what position it’s in. The simple palm design allows the rider to ‘feel’ their motorcycle while the slim fit prevents the glove from bunching up. We’ve also stitched a conductive material into the thumb and index fingertips that allows you to use any touch device without having to remove your gloves.
This unique combination of premium materials and technical features results in one of the most comfortable and functional gloves you’ll ever own.

Hey Stolley! Cheers for the awesome feedback - love the “long story short” approach! Glad to hear you're stoked with the Blip gloves. Appreciate you shouting out the team too - we're always here to help if anyone's on the fence. Enjoy the ride!
I love these gloves! They’re very comfortable, and they look great. I like that they will operate my phone too so I don’t always have to remove them. Great job!
Thanks so much Adam! Stoked to hear you’re loving the gloves — comfort, good looks, and phone-friendly functionality is exactly what we were aiming for. Cheers again!
I purchased the Blip motorcycle gloves at the end of July 2024. I initially loved them, however, after a couple of months usage, I saw significant wear on both index/thumb sections of the gloves. Virtually all the touch phone material wore away. The thumb on the left hand glove began to wear right through to the point I could no longer wear them. The stitching around the index fingers began coming undone also, from what I feel may be constant clutch and brake usage.
I have bought Akin gear in the past, and had nothing but good things to say. I feel these gloves are just a short misstep in an otherwise great motorcycle apparel brand.
Hey Dan,
Thanks so much for your honest feedback and for sticking with Akin. We're really sorry to hear the Blip gloves didn’t hold up like they should have — that’s definitely not the experience we want for you.
We’re reaching out to you directly to get this sorted. Whether it’s a replacement or another solution that works better for you, we’ll make it right and turn this around.
Appreciate you calling this out — your support and input mean a lot, and help us keep improving.
Cheers,

Fantastic customer service from Grant and the team at Akin. Grant contacted me straight away and provided a replacement for the faulty gloves which arrived within a few days.
I wish more companies would provide this level of service. Well done.
You're most welcome David, I'm really glad we could turn the situation around for you on the below review. If we can ever help again in the future please don't hesitate to reach out - Grant
I purchased a pair of blip gloves a few months ago they fit perfectly and very comfortable. But I am disappointed with the material inserts used for use with a touch phone. The surface of the left hand thumb insert, used for indicators, has nearly all worn off leaving only a thin material covering. Additional the surface of both the index finger inserts are starting to wear off due to clutch and break usage.
Hey David, we're so sorry to hear about your experience with the Blip gloves! I can totally understand how dissapointing that would be. I'm reaching out to you right now via email and we're going to make sure you're looked after here.
