GTX Held Air N Dry Gloves

Product Information

I’ve ridden in pouring rain and hands have stayed completely dry, and in warm conditions I’ve had the increased sensation and ventilation from wearing thinner gloves. The fingers — with the exception of the thumb — feel a bit short, although the gloves are comfortable enough on the inside that it’s not too bothersome. The idea is that you don’t have to carry two pairs of gloves — or three if you count dry weather, wet weather and hot weather (perforated). Now what we have is that we are slowly getting a where hot palm of the gloves and a cooler inside. That hot grip means moisture in the palm of your hand. This moisture is transported, as designed, into the glove through the Gore-Tex, from the moist hot side to the now cooler inside of your glove.

Even when fully protected by the Gore-Tex membrane, dexterity remains impressive and it’s very good when you’re able to use the breezy chamber. A special dying technique ensures that our kangaroo leather is absolutely colour-fast, while a special tanning process makes it highly resistant to moisture and sweat. Fit for me in the Breezy side was perfect – it was snug without feeling tight and I could not feel any seams or construction techniques from within. The Held Sambia 2 in 1 are the ‘evo’ version of the original: These are perfect for touring in the heat. Highly breathable and vented for hot days and slow speeds. Or, cool, wind- and waterproof for higher speeds or showers.

The Held gloves also have a profusely perforated leather palm and overall we’d probably give the fit, finish and protection and construction points to the Held gloves.

The Held Solid Dry 2 in 1 gloves are the perfect choice for an average English summer: Waterproof when required, breathable with a perforated palm when not. The Taslan shell is highly water-repellent, which means these are light in weight, will not soak up rain water, and are perfect for the months between March and September. Hard Armour Hard Armour Hard armour offers a higher level of protection to the areas which are most susceptible to damage in the event of an accident. The other issue that needs to be factored in is your finger length. If the gloves fit perfectly in the fingers while wearing them in Gore-Tex ‘dry’ mode then they are likely to be too short when wearing them in ‘breezy’ mode. It’s inevitable when the Gore-Tex membrane is taking up some of the space your fingers would otherwise occupy.

One major difference is that the Held Air N Dry gloves have a mostly fabric upper, while the Rukka R-Star gloves are all leather. Touchscreen Enabled Touchscreen Enabled Features a special fingertip for operating capacitive touchscreen devices such as smartphones, without having to remove the glove. (58) With three choices of finger length, there will be the right size for everybody. Remember to make sure the fingers are long enough when wearing in both ‘dry’ and ‘breezy’ modes. Waterproofing Breezy” is not the word I would use for the palm side of a pair of gloves, even with the perforations in the palm (and the palm is on the hand grips, so there isn’t much ventilation through that area anyway).

One glove, two options: optimal rain protection in the waterproof chamber or a pleasantly cool feel in the grip chamber when biking in summer temperatures Moving to my winter gloves I feel a lot less of my heated grips and I only do this below 5°C. Also because they add a lot of bulk to my grip. I’ve tested these gloves over eight hours of extended downpour, and they’ve proved reliably waterproof. I’ve also found that when you need to put them on over wet hands, the inner liner stays put. If you’ve ever spent an hour trying to refit the liner into a sodden glove, you’ll understand why this is such a good thing. In the rain protection chamber, optimum comfort is ensured by GORE-TEX X-TRAFIT Product Technology - permanently breathable, wind- and waterproof Then the some interesting facts for the Motorcycling gloves. As stated, moisture is normally generated by a hot hand inside the glove with some cold air on the outside. But, now add some heated grips and a wet gloves!Vented to get the heat from the grips without getting the moisture trough the Gore-Tex into your Gloves. BR / From the Cold and Wet Sweden.”
