Fresco II glove with TFL-Cool-System technology
Internationally recognised motorcycle gloves and apparel specialist Held has introduced what it describes as a "revolutionary technology capable of disrupting established, common sense assumptions about the rules of summer heat management - allowing even the darkest skin to reflect sunlight as if it were light in colour, keeping the inside of the glove cooler".
The first Held glove specifically dedicated to motorcyclists dates back to 1975, and since then the German company has never stopped carrying out research, always pushing the 'art of the possible' to take motorcycle glove technology that little bit further, which is in its DNA.
The Fresco II summer touring glove is unlined, has a back in soft cowhide, a palm in kangaroo leather (highly resistant to abrasion), a durable sweat-proof colour, but above all it uses the breakthrough TFL-Cool-System technology.
Counterintuitively, Held says that dark skin now no longer needs to automatically get warmer than light coloured skin under the heat of the sun. TFL-Cool-System technology is a system that, applied to dark skin, radiates the sun's rays just as if it were lighter coloured skin.
The surface temperature of the leather can be reduced by over 20 degrees C, with the wearer experiencing a reduction in the internal temperature that can go as low as -12 degrees C - improving heat resistance while maintaining its original appearance.
Additional features of the Fresco II include special stitching, removing pressure points inside the glove to improve sensitivity, crease-free, pre-curved palm, adjustable Velcro closures for wrist and inner sleeve and elastic inserts on the back, thumb and fingers.
The Fresco II is EN 13594:2015 certified (protective gloves for motorcyclists) and there is special Temperfoam for knuckle protection (knuckle shell tested with an impact test), Teramid to protect the thumb base, and reinforcements on the side of the hand, the ball of the thumb and on the palm of the glove. It is available in black in men's and women's sizes.
