GRIPPING STUFF
22 September 2004 - BMW Motorrad GB

Winter is not the best time to ride a motorcycle but hardened bikers keep going thanks to the technology available in today’s motorcycle garments.

BMW clothing specialists have concentrated on rider comfort in all climates and have designed an exceptional range of winter gloves that will combat the iciest of temperatures.

As with all BMW products the gloves are stylish, uniquely individual and constructed from the latest high quality, high-tech materials. The selective descriptions below give some idea of what is available.

The Comfort Winter Gloves are constructed from a mixture of leather and tear-resistant fabric and provide maximum grip, whatever the weather. Partially lined with Kevlar, the gloves feature a double layer of leather around the index finger and thumb areas. Micro-fibre padding provides highly efficient thermal insulation, and an external strap adjustment means that impeccable comfort is achieved at the inside of the wrists. Available in a variety of colours, the Comfort Winter Gloves retail at £90.

The Pro-Winter Gloves use GORE-TEX for wind and waterproofing so that the wearer is almost impervious to the freezing agony of cold winter riding. A soft lining has been incorporated to provide comfort when gripping the bars – and to keep the hands warm so that operating the machine’s controls can be safely accomplished. For even safer riding the ProWinter Gloves also feature a high visibility reflective area. The retail price is £65.

The All-round Gloves are constructed from a combination of suede and smooth leather. Two Velcro straps are employed for optimal adjustment and a substantial area incorporates EVA foam to assist shock absorption. The gloves will complement any riding suit and – at only £35 per pair – represent great value for money.

The Silk Under-Gloves are made from 100 per cent pure silk. For maximum cold weather insulation they should be worn as an inner lining under the rider’s usual riding gloves. They are also stylish enough to be worn when not riding. Extreme thinness and lightness make the gloves easy to wash and ideal as an extra barrier for sensitive hands.The highly practical Silk Under-Gloves are an indispensable luxury at a RRP of only £10. Sizes available are 6-6.5 and 12-12.5.

BMW’s winter motorcycling gloves are available through all BMW Motorrad UK dealerships.
