This Cartago 2.0 is a summer glove for those who still like to keep the glove feeling. In other words: if you have heated grips, you can also use this glove for many autumn and spring rides.
The Cartago 2.0 is made of goatskin leather, which is always an excellent choice. The light jersey lining is part of a broader textile combination, which also has plenty of room for mesh. Especially on the back of the hand. The palm with a double layer of Amara and leather padding remains meanwhile very well protected. Tear and wear resistant, as a motorcycle glove should be. At the same time, you can't get much closer to 'it blows right through it'. And of course, it does not detract from the protective quality of the Cartago 2.0, which effortlessly passes the CE certification standard (EN13594:2015).
In any case, there is little chance of sweaty hands, unless this is triggered by your driving style. These motorcycle gloves are 'soft’ gloves: don't look for plastic parts or knuckle guards. Wherever it makes sense, you'll find padding, but the emphasis is on ventilation and comfort.
The index finger can be used to operate a touchscreen. Although summery, the Cartago 2.0 gets a cuff that might reach to the sleeve ends.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase, and enjoy your gear for longer.
