Every Five glove states its standard and its KP level, and you can filter by CE, KP1 and KP2. Where they are made is never said.

Held is the glove brand riders name first for certification, with EN 13594 stated per product. It names no country of manufacture anywhere.

Hand sewn in Bend, Oregon since 1941, with the claim repeated in 30 individual product spec blocks. The strongest origin disclosure we have checked.

Held, Dainese and Rev'It sell certified protection. The American answer is different: unarmored deerskin built for feel. Here is the honest swap.

Most gloves sold as American are assembled overseas from American leather. Here is who still cuts and sews in the United States, with current prices.
