Sonora California Collection
78 Sonora
The Sonora collection takes the humble roper glove with elevated style and fit. A short glove offers freedom of movement with the versatility to wear both on and off your machine. A lined Sonora makes the perfect winter glove for a stroll in the park or for braving the cold steering wheel on a winter morning. The feel of a soft, short glove is a true treat and at 78 we can be found gloved up riding our bicycles, walking our dog and driving the car!
The Sonora takes cues from classic roper gloves from a bygone era but importantly improves the fitting and cut for a supreme glove experience. A close fit ensures feel through the bars without excess materials causing mayhem. Top grade hides of the finest quality ensure comfort on the move; there is nothing worse than a coarse, ill fitting glove to ruin your ride.
We created a collection of the Sonora to suit a variety of applications and climates with fully lined versions for cooler temps to fully perforated, unlined versions for warmer climates.
Each Sonora is die cut for precision with just two main seams for incredible durability. Every pair is made by hand together by experienced artisan glove cutters in California available in a selection of exclusive hues to suit your style.

Customer Reviews
In my search for stylish gloves, I once again found what I was looking for at 78.
The gloves fit perfectly. They feel comfortable.
They are now my 5th pair.
I can only recommend the gloves.
Third pair of 78motorco gloves, after the speed and sonara perforated, opted for sonara merlot lined for when it’s cooler riding, in my opinion 78 do the best gloves at the price point they charge, only disappointment this time I got the Black Friday deal but postage was delayed and by the time I received gloves, 78motorco was doing the Black Friday deal but also a free silk scarf, wish I’d of held on for a few more days, if company’s plan on doing better deals unsure why they can’t just go ahead and do it from the start.
Exceptional quality, highly recommend to anyone
This is my third pair of gloves from 78 Motor and again a five star rating for fit and comfort. Nothing pinches, no chafing.
However, one star deducted for the quickly faded leather on the top of the glove. I'm now using it for the second season and the originally dark Merlot has faded to a light to medium brown. Let's call it patina.
Hey Thomas! Thanks for the review. Just some feedback. This is the Merlot Sonora made from the highest grade natural hides that is affected by prolonged UV exposure if not treated with leather balm regularly. In California you enjoy the sun much more than in the UK! Please treat your gloves with some quality leather balm and this will help recover the colour. :-)
5 stars all round. Really premium feel to the gloves, nice fit already but I feel it will get even better over time. Absolutely unique and super stand out colour way. The perforations are just wonderful in the summer heat. Big fan.
And getting in touch with 78 to chat about the right size was mega easy, and we got the correct option.
Can't recommend enough!
