Sizing Information
Held gloves are sold in glove sizes rather than the normal “alpha” sizes you are used to in the US. For complete information on selection and fit of Held gloves please go here: Held Glove Sizing
We find Held gloves to be very consistent for fit from one model to the next and this particular glove model is no exception. Choose the size you wear in Held, or use the sizing advice above to choose
Our Two Cents
The Tonale gloves by Held are a well equipped winter glove choice. A Gore-Tex liner combined with moderate insulation should keep you warm in the winter months. Basic safety features are also included. The Tonale comes in both men’s and women’s sizes.
If you ride in winter, then you’ll be in the market for an insulated glove. This unit from Held offers waterproofing from GoreTex along with a very plushy feeling layer of insulation. The back of the hand is fabric, and the backs of the fingers and the palm are leather. Using a combination of fabric and leather in this glove cuts down on the bulk and overall weight, so they’ll be a bit easier to store than all-leather winter gloves.
Basic protection features include: a molded knuckle armor piece, a Velcro wrist strap to secure the gloves on the hand, and also a bit of extra padding in the palm area. The large gauntlet can be adjusted both with a zipper and with a large Velcro tab, so you can make these work with just about any jacket sleeve arrangement. A visor wiper is included on the left index finger to help you clear your shield in the rain.
The inside of these gloves is lined with a very soft and luxury feeling fabric which I think you’ll enjoy. One last mention: Near the cuff of the glove is a compartment for the insertion of a “heat pack”. Held isn’t offering those as an accessory in the US, but I’ve seen them for sale at motorcycle events, etc. If you happen to have some, you’ll now have a place to use them! :: Paul, 11-03-20
Note: We are pleased to offer Held gloves in the US again beginning late 2020. Held is a manufacturer of a full line of motorcycle apparel which is based in Germany. We’ve sold held gloves on and off for more than a decade. Held gloves are top quality and are made with VERY high quality materials. We find the gloves to offer a consistent fit which brand loyal fans enjoy. Held returns to the US market after exiting in 2019 due to distribution issues. Welcome back Held!
