Our Two Cents
The Held Summertime II glove is made for street and touring riders for comfort in hot weather. The gloves feature full venting and kangaroo palms.
This glove will be just the thing for long days on the bike! The black leather and mesh frame is soft and comfortable immediately. The palms are kangaroo to give a very good feel for the controls and to have a long life.
On the back of the fingers and hand, you’ll notice full mesh panels to allow air to flow inside the glove. And then the palm leather is perforated also, so you’ll really like this glove in mild to very hot temps. Padding is provided in key areas, primarily over the knuckles and in the palm of the hand. The level of protection is much less than competitive sport gloves but well-liked by touring and street riders for comfort and for easy storing (no hard plastic parts to fold up). The gloves have a shorter cuff with a Velcro adjustment tab. Having at least a shorter cuff like this is nice for touring to keep the sun off your wrists so you don’t get a burn. :: Paul, 01-07-21
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 that 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!
