How much do custom motocross gloves cost? 2027 FOB price guide for MX brands and dealers
MX glove prices vary by a factor of three between a basic race glove and an armoured enduro glove. Here is what drives the price per pair, and how to budget a private-label glove range.
Published 27 October 2026 · Blackthorn World
In short
Custom motocross gloves cost about $7–$25 per pair FOB from Blackthorn World at the 100-pair minimum: roughly $7–$12 for a single-layer race glove, $10–$18 for a glove with TPR knuckle protection, and up to $25 for armoured enduro gloves with premium palms and retail packaging. Freight, duty and tax are extra.
Indicative price bands per pair (FOB, 100 pairs per style)
| Glove type | Typical construction | Indicative FOB |
|---|---|---|
| Race / lightweight MX | Single-layer synthetic palm, sublimated stretch back, silicone fingers, slip-on cuff | $7–$12 |
| Youth MX | Same construction, youth size run | $7–$11 |
| Knuckle-protected | TPR or foam knuckle guard, hook-and-loop cuff | $10–$18 |
| Armoured enduro / trail | TPR knuckle and finger guards, reinforced palm zones, premium microfibre | $14–$25 |
These are working ranges for budgeting, not quotes. A firm price depends on the exact materials and your quantity — send a reference glove or tech pack for a like-for-like figure.
What moves the price of an MX glove?
- Palm material. Standard synthetic suede is the baseline; premium microfibre (Clarino-type) or double-layer thumb and palm reinforcement add cost.
- Protection. Each moulded TPR part adds material and a stitching operation.
- Print. Full sublimation on the back is efficient; silicone logos and multi-colour screen prints on the cuff add steps.
- Panels. More panels mean more cutting and stitching time; race gloves are deliberately simple.
- Packaging. Header cards, hang tags and branded polybags add cents per pair, but make the glove retail-ready.
- Quantity. Moving from 100 to 300+ pairs per style lowers the unit price, mainly through material buying and set-up.
How to budget a first MX glove range
Most new MX brands launch with two or three styles: a race glove in two or three colourways matched to their jersey and pant sets, a youth version of the same glove, and one armoured glove for enduro riders. At 100 pairs per style that is a first order of 300–500 pairs, which keeps cash tied up in stock low while giving dealers a real range.
Development samples are charged per style plus courier and credited against your first bulk order. A sample takes about two weeks; bulk ships about 3–4 weeks after sample approval.
Landed cost: what to add on top of FOB
- Air or sea freight from Sialkot (gloves are light; most brands ship small orders by air).
- Import duty at your destination — EU and UK importers may qualify for reduced duty under GSP+ or DCTS, as Blackthorn World is an EU REX registered exporter.
- VAT or sales tax, and your broker's fees.
