This BORLENI JIA16 gloves review examines the summer riding pair listed with knuckle protection, a reinforced palm and index-finger touchscreen support. Its breathable construction may interest riders planning warm motorcycle camping routes. Before buying, check the exact variant, hand measurements and protection documentation.
Measure before buying: Measure both hands using BORLENI’s current method. Compare hand circumference and middle-finger length with the chart. Ask the seller to clarify incomplete or unusual entries rather than choosing solely from your usual glove size.

BORLENI JIA16 gloves review: exact variant
The reviewed Amazon selection was 016-Black in Medium, and the title identified Model JIA16. The page also grouped options labeled 09Black, Carbon-Black and other names. Do not assume that every grouped option has identical construction or protection.
| Feature | Listing description | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | Polyester field and microfiber wording in the features | Exact composition and material placement |
| Protection details | Knuckle shell, palm pad and reinforced palm | Complete glove certification and test evidence |
| Comfort | Breathable material and air vents | Fit, seam pressure and control movement |
| Touchscreen | Index-finger support | Response with your device while stopped |
Clarify the chart before choosing Medium
The reviewed chart lists Medium with hand circumference “0–7.9 inches” and middle-finger length “0–3.4 inches.” Those zero lower limits are not useful as a complete fit range. Ask BORLENI for the intended lower measurements and measuring method.
Small appears in the selector, but its measurements were not shown in the reviewed chart. Large is listed at 7.9–8.7 inches in circumference and 3.4–3.5 inches in middle-finger length. Confirm the correct size if your two measurements fall in different rows.
- Measure both hands with the same method.
- Check circumference and finger length separately.
- Try both gloves with your riding jacket.
- Bend your fingers around the grips while safely stationary.
- Check the wrist closure and resistance to accidental removal.
A suitable glove should allow comfortable movement without excessive palm folds or empty fingertips. Do not accept painful pressure over the knuckles or thumb. Adjustment can refine the wrist fit, but it cannot correct fingers that are too short or too long.
Understand the protection claims
The listing describes knuckle protection, a palm pad, a reinforced palm and double stitching around the external shell. These are construction claims. The reviewed highlights do not identify EN13594 certification, a performance level or a knuckle-impact marking.
Ask for photographs of the actual label and supporting documentation if verified motorcycle glove protection is a requirement. Confirm that any documents apply to JIA16 and the exact variant you intend to receive. A shell, star rating or motorcycle-racing description does not establish tested performance.
The palm pad should not automatically be called a tested slider. Likewise, do not transfer carbon-fiber claims from another option grouped on the page to 016-Black. Request model-specific material and protection details.
Breathable construction and grip
The materials field says polyester, while the feature text describes durable microfiber. These terms may refer to different aspects of the construction, but they do not provide a complete composition. Ask about the palm and upper separately if material choice matters to you.
BORLENI advertises air vents and breathable fabric for warm conditions. This review has not measured airflow or tested all-day comfort. The claim that the gloves suit all seasons does not establish insulation or cold-weather capability.
The palm is described as wear-resistant and anti-slip. Test it on your own grip material and check for bunching. A marketing grip claim cannot establish equal performance in every dry or wet condition.
Check motorcycle control operation
With the motorcycle safely stationary, test clutch and brake reach, throttle movement and switch access. Bend your fingers repeatedly to check shell pressure and seams. The glove should not snag or obstruct normal control release.
Also check how its cuff sits against your jacket sleeve. Do not assume dimensions or closure details from a different BORLENI style. Resolve an unsuitable fit before taking the gloves on a longer ride.
Touchscreen use at stops
The reviewed feature text specifies touchscreen support at the index fingers. It does not confirm thumb support. Test your own phone or navigation screen while safely stopped, since fit and screen protectors can affect precision.
This feature may make route checks easier during travel stops. It should not encourage handheld screen operation while riding or outweigh the need for comfortable control feel.
Plan for rain and cold separately
The reviewed details do not establish a waterproof membrane, tested rain rating or thermal insulation. Do not treat summer ventilation or general all-season wording as proof of wet-weather or winter performance.
For a contrasting insulated design, see our IRON JIA’S winter gloves review. Plan an appropriate backup when your route requires it, and keep dry gloves protected in luggage. Check that any liner fits without restricting movement.
Care and pre-trip inspection
Ask BORLENI for the care instructions that apply to the delivered JIA16 pair. Do not assume the washing method from another brand or from a different option on this page. Avoid unapproved heat or treatments around the shell and palm materials.
Inspect stitching, shell attachment, palm wear and closures before travel. Follow manufacturer guidance if damage appears. Recheck fit after cleaning or extended use.
Who should shortlist the JIA16?
These BORLENI gloves are worth investigating if you want a breathable summer design with knuckle coverage and index-finger screen support. The deciding questions are accurate sizing, control feel and documented protection. Clarify the chart and exact variant before buying.
