Five WFX City Evo GTX Woman Gloves Long Black

You have a choice between a long or a short version. The WFX City Evo GTX is the ideal glove to face the winter with elegance, both in the city and the suburbs, and to take on middle-distance road trips with peace of mind. Its topside construction in Softshell fabric is both windproof and water-repellent. Its leather palm featuring a soft slider and honeycombed ERGO PROTECH® metacarpal protective shells hidden underneath the fabric offer impeccable protection. Weatherproofing is ensured by a breathable GORE-TEX® membrane, the benchmark name in the field. As for thermal insulation, the WFX City Evo GTX introduces an innovative concept in terms of construction. Most winter gloves have been made the same way for ages…To put it simply: Thick thermal insulation over the top of the hand, and a finer layer on the palm, all the way up to between the fingers. And here was the weak spot of this traditional construction. The cold ends up getting inside through the fourchettes (which is what the area between the fingers is called). FIVE has reinvented the fundamentals of thermal insulation using a new type of construction called THERMO+™, offering up to 20% greater heat retention, based on PRIMALOFT® insulation, the very best in the field. The concept is quite simple: thick insulation on the topside extends down between the fingers, whereas the thinner insulation is limited to the (flat) base of the palm and fingers. This implies reconsidering all the other elements in the glove, such as the external structure or the weatherproof membrane, in order to maintain perfect suppleness overall and a firm grip on the controls. It’s when you ride in the cold that you understand the point of this Thermo+™ construction. The thicker, denser insulation in the fourchettes constitutes a much more effective thermal barrier and helps keep the hand’s natural heat within the glove for longer. Add to this the dual (thumb and index finger) Touch Screen™ system for handling electronic devices, the Clear Vision Pad that allows you to wipe off the visor of your helmet while you ride, the dual closure system that includes the Over Size Cuff (on LONG version) to make it easier to fit the cuff over your jacket’s sleeve, and you have a sure bet to face the city in the wintertime.

faq

What is the difference between goatskin, cowhide and kangaroo leather?

Gloves utilize three primary materials: cow leather, goat leather, and kangaroo leather, each with its unique qualities. Cow leather strikes a balance between comfort, abrasion resistance, and cost, making it the most prevalent choice among riders. Goat leather, on the other hand, provides enhanced comfort and tactile feedback due to its softness but tends to be less durable compared to cowhide. Kangaroo leather ranks high in terms of comfort, softness, and durability, although it's notably pricier and is typically reserved for top-tier glove models. Riders can select the material that best aligns with their preferences, budget, and intended usage to ensure the ideal combination of comfort and protection.

Is it better to wear gloves with long cuffs tucked inside or placed over the sleeve of my motorcycle jacket?

There's no definitive answer to this; it largely depends on your riding position. For instance, if you're on a sportsbike in the rain and wear your gloves over the sleeve, there's a chance that water from your sleeve could flow back into the glove. On the other hand, if you're on a chopper, wearing the gloves tucked in the sleeves might allow water from the gloves to seep into your sleeves. It's a matter of choosing what works best for your specific riding style and conditions.

How do I choose the right size?

To ensure you get the perfect fit, take a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your palm, making sure to position the tape just below your knuckles. Be sure not to include your thumb in this measurement. You can then compare these measurements with the size chart to determine which size suits you best.

What about the fit of a motorcycle glove?

Choosing the right size motorcycle gloves is crucial as ill-fitting gloves, whether too big or too small, not only lead to discomfort but can also compromise their protective qualities. Oversized gloves may reduce grip on the controls, while undersized ones can restrict movement and cause hand fatigue. Finding the perfect size ensures optimal fit and maximum protection. Summer motorcycle gloves, typically made of leather, tend to have a snug fit. They will slightly stretch over time, molding to your hand like a second skin, enhancing grip and protection. For winter gloves, it's essential to avoid a tight fit, leaving some room at the fingertips. Also, ensure both gloves and your hands are at room temperature when putting on winter motorcycle gloves to maximize insulation and warmth.

Why are there (almost) no 4-season gloves?

Your hands play a crucial role in operating a motorcycle, and they're highly sensitive to temperature changes. Consequently, the heat-regulating features of your gloves are not something you'd want to compromise on. During summer, you'll prefer well-ventilated gloves, while in winter, warmth and waterproofing become essential. In the transitional seasons, a thinner glove with windproofing, and possibly waterproofing, is often preferred for improved dexterity. It's challenging for a single glove to excel in all these aspects simultaneously.
