It's fitting that, after winning 'Best gloves' for the tenth consecutive year in the Motorrad Magazine awards (The World's biggest selling bike mag) that arguably the best road racer on the planet, Michael Dunlop, has chosen to wear Held motorcycle gloves this season. The Titan Gloves are not newcomers to TT success- Gary Johnson wore them in 2014 during his TT winning ride!

Michael's Gloves, The Held Titan Evo, £250

Held Titan Evo Motorcycle Gloves

These gloves are all about safety for racers- and road riders: There's heaps of protection, dare we say these may be the most protective motorcycle gloves ever. There's a new titanium knuckle, new and improved from the old Titan, new wrist slider with titanium insert, carbon and gel protectors on sides of hand! There is also DuPont Kevlar at the necessary zones including the finger bridge which is designed to stop your fingers separating and breaking in the event of a slide. If you were going to slide, you'd want to be wearing Titan Evo's! The best just got better.

Gore-Tex all-year-round investment

If you're going to invest decent money in motorcycle clothing you want it to do the trick, well, more than do the trick in fact. 

Personally I look for:

• Something that will be suitable all year round- only really want ONE outfit
• Something that's waterproof FULL STOP- for the life of the garment
• Something that will help regulate my body temperature- if it's hot or cold
• Something that looks good and will last and last
• Something that will give me huge protection as well as huge comfort

Cue the Held Cadora Jacket (men and ladies versions). Match this jacket with the Manero trousers. 

Held 'Cadora' Gore-Tex Waterproof, Windproof and breathable motorcycle jacket

See here. At £550 for the jacket and £449.99 for the trousers they're not cheap, but you'll only need this outfit all year, it'll last and last, and if you do anything outdoors in the cold / wet other than motorcycling (eg: dog walking in Winter- like me!) you will get extra use out of it. This is Held's flagship outfit, and boy is it worth the money. We also offer interest free credit too, so you can ride in this NOW and spread the cost, with no interest!

And, this latest generation of Gore-Tex Pro is softer and more comfortable than ever before!
