The Held Akira RR Leather Gloves in Black, White, and Red are designed for riders who want the perfect balance of comfort and protection. The upper is crafted from goatskin, while the palm is made from highly abrasion-resistant kangaroo leather, giving it durability without compromising flexibility. The materials are colourfast and sweat-proof, making them ideal for long summer rides. The gloves have an unlined palm, offering a closer feel and better control.
For protection, they’re certified to meet the EN 13594:2015 standard for motorcycle gloves, with additional safety features like titanium knuckle protectors and Held's Armaprotec at the ball of the thumb. The gloves also come reinforced with SuperFabric on the edge of the hand, and there’s a finger bridge between the ring and pinkie fingers. Hard shell protection is also included on the pinkie and the side of the hand, making these gloves tough where it matters most.
In terms of features, you'll find special flat seams for comfort, elasticated leather panels on the back and fingers for flexibility, and a tunnel strap for secure fastening. The perforated leather back allows for airflow, keeping your hands cool on hot days. For added convenience, there's special leather on the fingertips that lets you use your smartphone without removing the gloves.
These gloves are perfect for the sporty rider, built for summer use. While they aren’t waterproof, they are touch-screen ready, ensuring you stay connected while on the move.
