Real World User review: Held 'Freezer Gore-Tex' Winter Gloves

We love to get 'real world' feedback from people who have been using our products week in, week out. 

It not only helps us make sure that our products are doing exactly the job we expect them to do, but also provides motorcyclists with valuable 'real world' research when they are looking to buy- something we know is very important.

One of our dealers Infinity Motorcycles www.infinitymotorcycles.com encourage and incentivise customers to write reviews. So, without further ado, here's Mervyn from Northampton's feedback on our Freezer Gore-Tex' Gloves: (Oh, and Mervyn's putting his £50 voucher from Infinity towards some Held Nelix Trousers!)

Held Freezer Gore-Tex gloves. Freezer by name, warm by nature!

These gloves, although not cheap are definitely worth having if you are going to ride through the winter. When I first got them, they felt nice putting them on. I've had them for about a month now and used them daily on my 50 mile round trip to work and have used them below freezing, in pouring rain and in a gale where with 60mph winds and horizontal rain, I was struggling with the bike but my hands were nice and warm. 

When the weather is around freezing or below, I no longer have to thaw my hands on the exhaust when I get to work. When it is cold, I also wear a pair of inner gloves and although the ends of your fingers feel cold after half an hour at 70mph plus, they are not frozen solid. The velcro fastening on the cuffs also seems a lot better in being able to seal the gloves around your jacket sleeves as since having them, I haven't had water running down my sleeves into the gloves. 

Waterproofing is good - so far I haven't had water through the gloves and leaving them out to the air when I get to work means they are dry to ride home again. I'm extrememly pleased with this purchase.


Thank you Mervyn for allowing us to share this and thank you Infinity Motorcycles!
