Short cuffed urban riding gloves that prove their worth even in suboptimal weather conditions.
The knitted cuff has become as much of a style feature as it is a functional part of the Boxxer 2, ensuring the wrist area is closed off snugly to prevent wind chill from reaching the hands when riding. The fixed Hydratex® membrane makes it waterproof and breathable, while a cosy thermal liner keeps frost at bay on urban adventures in wintertime. A hard knuckle protector is incorporated in the strong outer shell, together making sure both impact protection and abrasion resistance are up to spec in case a ride ends less fortunate. The wrist adjustment tab is the final key in making sure these urban riding gloves live up to their promise of providing protection and comfort when the weather doesn’t want to play ball.

* A waterproof membrane does not mean unlimited waterproof. The waterproofness depends on the quality of the membrane. Are you looking for 100% waterproof? Then select motorcycle gloves with a GoreTex membrane.
EAN 8700001295031
Motorcycle gear comes in various levels of waterproofness, which is important for comfort and safety during wet rides. Most waterproof jackets, pants, gloves, and footwear have a membrane that prevents water from penetrating the outer layer. These products keep you dry, but there's a limit to how much they can penetrate. A waterproof membrane doesn't mean 100% waterproof. With prolonged exposure to rain or under high pressure, the outer layer can still let moisture through. This means you could get wet after longer rides in heavy rain, especially in areas where the fabric moves intensively or where seams are less well-protected.
Looking for 100% waterproof? Then choose a product with a Gore-Tex membrane. Gore-Tex is a specially designed membrane that is both waterproof and breathable. The membrane contains microscopic pores that are too small for water droplets to penetrate, but large enough to allow water vapor (sweat) to escape. This keeps rain and spray out, while your body heat and moisture are wicking away. You will ride dry and comfortable, even in prolonged or heavy rain.
In short: regular waterproof motorcycle clothing keeps out short(er) rainshowers, while Gore-Tex effectively protects against prolonged rain and at the same time provides breathable comfort.
