Held gloves are sold in glove sizes rather than the normal “alpha” sizes you are used to in the US. But fear not, we offer a comprehensive guide to choosing a Held glove size for you:

Held Glove Sizing

The Phantom II is offered in both long and short finger versions so those of you with hard to fit hands have a chance to own thesegloves in a size that fits. We hesitate to get too scientific with the finger measurements since with gloves, even a small measured difference in size makes a big fit difference so quantifying it by measurements is hard, but just to give you the idea, we measured length of the middle finger of a size 10/short, 10/regular and 10/long. The short is about 3/8” shorter than the regular and likewise the long is about 3/8” longer than the regular.

And here is some information about the long term care of Held gloves:

Held Glove Care

Our Two Cents

The Held Phantom line has been the go to Held sport glove for several generations now. The new Phantom Pro continues the legacy with some neat updates.

The Held Phantom Pro gloves have many of the features Held has included in the Phantom line since the originals debuted circa 2008ish. The gloves are mostly Kangaroo leather with is highly abrasion resistant, colorfast and sweat-proof, and pretty damn comfortable. Kangaroo leather is soft to the touch and offers good dexterity so you have an excellent feel for the controls. Kangaroo leather also has superior rub through protection, but Held still reinforces the palms with a suede overlay for style and function. The back of the hand is fully lined with shock-absorbing Suprotect® foam. When you’re wearing the gloves this foam feels like a perfectly formed pad and after a few rides, it will feel like they were made just for you.

SuperFabric® reinforcements were common in the earlier versions and they make an appearance here as well. The palm of the glove has a very large patch that has even more of the “guard plates” than the standard SuperFabric® material. The back of the fingers and outer gauntlet has the more traditional material. The knuckle armor is a stiff HRD (Held Racing Department) TPU with a titanium overlay for maximum protection. If you have a get off, you’re protected in just about every way possible!

A new feature for the Phantom Pro that we have not previously seen in the line is the finger bridge holding the Pinky to the Ring finger. This is a key protection that helps keep your most vulnerable finger attached to your hand in a violent crash. It looks like someone’s patent ran out on this technology because it is starting to be a more common sight and that is welcome in the world of racing gloves because every little bit helps when it comes to protection.

The Phantom Pro has an integrated visor wiper on the left index finger. Two ergonomic hook and loop closures ensure a snug fit at the wrist and over the cuff of your jacket.

If you can’t tell, I’m a fan of Held gloves in general and these Phantom Pro are arguably the best sport bike gloves we carry. I try not to push particular products, especially not when they have sky high prices like this one, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for. That isn’t something I throw out lightly, Held has been making premium gloves for multiple decades at this point and they know what the most demanding riders need to accomplish their goals. :: Mike, 4/22/2022
