Sizing Information
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:
And here is some information about the long term care of Held gloves:
Our Two Cents
The Held Hamada gloves are new for 2022 and are a bit of a departure from the norm with Held.
These gloves have all the quality and detail you would expect from Held, but in an off-road or dual sport style. The palm of this glove is a supple goat skin with silicone overlays on the index and middle fingers. This kind of overlay is normally seen in off-road gloves and improves dexterity and tactile sensitivity when you’re riding in conditions where you might otherwise have some slippage on the controls. These overlays also work as touchscreen fabric and both the middle and index finger, along with the thumb, seem to work well on both Android and Apple devices here at the shop. The palm also features a SuperFabric® slider, so if you were to go down on pavement you have that protection as well. The pull tab at the cuff also features the silicone overlay so you get a good grip.
Moving to the back of the glove, the material is a somewhat stretchy textile that breathes to the inner liner of the glove. The fingers have a TPU design over the knuckles other than the pinky for added protection. The pinky isn’t completely left out though, there is a wrap around the side from the palm of goat leather for abrasion resistance. The knuckle protector is a solid piece that feels like a thin thermoplastic, but that is just a guess on my part as Held doesn’t list the material. The wrist closure has a small amount extra at the end so you can find the tab and adjust the fit easily while wearing the gloves.
Overall these are a great new option from Held that will really fit those that ride aggressive dirt or dual sport and are looking for something with style and protection with the fit and comfort you would expect from Held. Of course, these gloves would also work for other riding styles other than extreme sport riders, but I’m just naming the segments they seem to be specifically targeted for. These gloves should work in hot to cool, dry weather. It is tough to beat a Held glove, especially at this price point. :: Mike, 12-15-21
