Warm in Winter and great all year round..

The Held Hakuna Jacket has served me well over the last 3 years- standing around on a chilly bonfire night, riding in the rain, riding in the cold, riding in the warm. It has proven to be a real all-rounder. Good value too with an RRP under £300.

Cold Champ Gloves- keeping you warm!

Now there's a definite nip in the air we'll be featuring our gear over the next couple of weeks that will help keep you warm and prolong your motorcycling season. 

Today we'll take a look at the Held Cold Champ winter motorcycle gloves.

The Held 'Cold Champ' superb warm winter motorcycle gloves

Winter gloves can easily mean 'bulky gloves' without much feel for the road or control. Co-developed between HELD and Gore, the combination of highly effective thermal linings and a specialist laminate layering means these motorcycle winter gloves are the closest you can get to having your cake and eating it. Excellent warmth, very clever technology, great grip and road feel, and waterproof for the life of the gloves!

Great grip, great protection, warm and dry! Gore-Tex & Held together.

User review, Simon Weir from RiDE Magazine: These are three-season gloves and they're great. Comfy, warm, properly dry thanks to their Gore-Tex membrane and with hard knuckle armour and both wrist and cuff fasteners/ adjusters.

Until the short-lived May Bank Holiday heatwave, these had become my default gloves because, as well as being comfy and protective, they're not bulky and give great feel for the controls.

Some of the spec:

Goat's leather - superior abrasion resistance, better 'feel'
Taslan textile fabric panels
Gore-Tex X-trafit waterproof & breathable membrane
Wrist & cuff Velcro closure
Superfabric protection panels
Stretch panels for fit
3M Thinsulate lining for warmth
Thermoplush fleece lining on upper hand for wind chill protection
3M Scotchlite reflex panels
