Keeping the ladies comfortable..

You've got to love the UK. But the weather can sometimes leave a little to be desired! 

The Held Tamira Jacket for ladies, at under £250, deals with just about everything Mother Nature throws our way- check it out:

One of four different colour schemes available

For several seasons the Held Hakuna adventure riding jacket has been a best seller for men. This is the ladies version. The jacket has a removable inner lining that is both waterproof/breathable and thermally insulated. With that lining zipped in, the jacket is waterproof and defends you against rain and wind-chill. Take it out, however, and you have a superb summer touring jacket with plenty of air vents. Multiple outer pockets make this practical for border crossings and the French motorways. The waterproof inner lining can be stuffed easily into a large pocket situated on the outer lower back panel. The back offers a protector pocket that can be upgraded with CE Level 2 armour from the Held range.

Held Gear Focus: GORE-TEX Performance Shell System

The GORE-TEX Performance Shell Ltd System is designed with serious miles and changeable condition in mind. It is the ideal system for hardcore Enduro Riding and round the world adventures, yet is equally at home on the daily commute.

How it works

1. Moisture vapour escapes
2. Rain and wind stay out
3. Outer material
4. GORE-TEX membrane
5. Lining
   
   The Ltd System differs from other GORE-TEX Applications in that the climate membrane is not permanently fixed in to the garment. Instead it is provided as a separate GORE-TEX inner jacket and/or pants which can be attached to the garment in order to protect against the elements, and then removed (and stowed in the our jacket pocket) for times when light weight and maximum ventilation is the rider's priority. Versatile, yet still 100% windproof, waterproof and breathable.
   
   Why the GORE-TEX system could be the ideal solution for you: 

Held Carese GORE-TEX Jacket

• Complete weatherproofing
• Excellent protection
• Outstanding ventilation
• Supreme adaptability
• Highly practical
• Low weight and small pack size of the liner
• Distinctive, Innovative style
• GORE-TEX membrane lifetime warranty
