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. Touchscreen Enabled Touchscreen Enabled Features a special fingertip for operating capacitive touchscreen devices such as smartphones, without having to remove the glove. (58)

The concept is a valid one – the German company manufactures several styles of two-in-one gloves, including long and short summer/sports style and three-season and winter examples.

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. Which means these aren’t multi-season gloves, in our opinion, despite the claims you may read otherwise. 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.

I do agree these are not winter gloves, but I do think they are summer gloves. They don’t have a warmth layer, which is a plus for summer riding. Visor Wipe Visor Wipe Glove features a built-in visor wipe to enable you to remove excess rain water from your visor whilst riding. (110) Held marked the lower chamber of the gloves with the Gore-Tex label, so you open the lower chamber and you’ll see a big “Dry” and “Gore-Tex” label right there, along with the Gore-Tex logo repeated along the piping on the lower chamber side only. Outlast Outlast Outlast offers micro encapsulated phase change materials, which are incorporated into fabrics and fibres for absorbing, storing, and releasing excess heat. (1) Naturally, it is warmer than the Breezy side as there are no perforations in this chamber to ensure your hands stay warm and dry if the weather takes a turn for the worse. However, while they feel lovely when on the hand, I found that the fit in the dry chamber was not as good as that in the Breezy one.In real life motorcycling, moisture normally is formed by a heated body, (i.e. sweat), on the inside of Gore-Tex clothing.

I’ve worn them through some awful prolonged rain without issue. Breathability is also impressive, keeping me comfortable at temperatures as high as 23°C. Protection When the Editor gave me the gloves to evaluate, we had quite a time figuring out which “chamber” was the Gore-Tex side and which was the ventilated side. But on the other hand (!), if the Gore-Tex chamber was on the bottom, you might lose the excellent heat transfer from heated grips that you get with the perforated leather (I tried it and it works). 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). There are around 48 different species of kangaroo, some of which are protected. However, the population of the huge Macropus giganteus kangaroo has grown so rapidly that it has become a real pest. This is why it is permitted to shoot this animal with a trapper's licence from the Australian government and to export it subject to the terms of the Washington Convention on endangered species (CITES).The fit is great and in the summer chamber you have a great feel for your grips and even in the Gore-Tex chamber it is still quite good. So in the end, there’s again some confusion on how best to employ the Air N Dry gloves. They don’t seem designed for cold weather, but they’re not really designed for warm weather either. This isn’t a major issue, just something that needs to be taken into account when trying the gloves for size – make sure you have room for your fingers when wearing them in breezy mode. 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.

We think that these are too warm for use in anything other than mild temperatures, because we’ve been wearing the Air N Dry glove through some pretty warm weather this summer. So confusion reigns! (yes, a pun). I’d probably label the bottom chamber “For Dry Weather” and the top “For Wet Weather” if I were the designer. The Chamber Switch I’m also delighted to find a visor wiper blade built into the finger — an essential on any glove used in the UK.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).
