What We Wear: The Held Air N' Dry Gore-Tex Motorcycle Gloves

I've had these Held Air N Dry motorcycle gloves almost three years now and they're still going strong. What I love about them is that they take away a decision I have to make before riding. 'What's the weather going to be like later, which gloves should I use?'.

How? They're dual chambered gloves, one side of the 'tab' you slip your hand into the breezy, vented chamber. Perfect for warmer days, like this morning. If it gets a bit nippy, or indeed starts to rain, move the 'tab' over and slip your hand into the Gore-Tex warmer and fully waterproof chamber! Brilliant!

What We Recommend: Top quality Summer Gloves at a very affordable price!

Quality and value, that's exactly what you get with the Held Revel Gloves. Available in short or long finger sizes as well as regular, and a whole choice of colours too. Also available in ladies and kids sizes! £84.99 for mens and ladies, £69.99 in kids. Check them out:


GetGeared is the best place for cheap good quality motorcycle gloves
Held Revel Summer Motorcycle sports gloves - all the Held quality for just £84.99!
The Official Word

• Sport motorcycle gloves with all the features you'd expect & more!
• Short & long finger lengths available & colour options too!
• Hard knuckle with reinforcements at impact zones & goatskin

Fits like a glove...should! What sets these apart from the competition is that in black and white you can buy long and short finger lengths for the perfect fit. That matters when you're on the track as gloves that are too small in the finger can cause reduced blood flow, whilst gloves that have fingers that are too big interfere with the levers.

Held made their business in gloves: Their history lies in gloves, they fit, they work and these sport gloves have more features than the competition. There's got to be a reason that Michael Dunlop, TT rider, aggressive road rider has worn Held gloves. Be seen on the track in the same brand that Michael has worn and choose from colours to match your gear and look the part.

An update to an already excellent suit: The polyester provides a completely waterproof suit which is also breathable and lightweight, featuring a polyurethane coating for extra durability. The EN471 rating means it has reached the European standard for material, colour and visibility for protective apparel. 3M Scotchlite reflective materials are used to make sure you are seen even in the dimmest of conditions, being directly welded to the fabric to eliminate stitching seams which can cause tears during slides.
