The Mangrove looks like the product of an adventure between the Volcano and the Sand 4. Anyone who doesn’t understand a word we just said, don't panic. Welcome to REV'IT! Sit back and discover a whole new world. Those of you who have been around this motorcycle apparel universe: the Volcano and the Sand 4, who would have thought it?
Volcanoes and deserts don't usually meet in mangroves, but well, the climate is changing and if the Mangrove motorcycle gloves from REV'IT! are representative of the future, it's okay.
With their light, summery and somewhat adventurous style, design and qualities, these are basically off-road motorcycle gloves. The price reveals a basic package, although with REV'IT! this is a very relative term. Light, comfortable, protective, and with an eye-catching knuckle protector that directs wind to your hands, the Mangrove glove has a lot going for it. Waterproofness is not one of them.
Microfiber, 3D air mesh, PWR shell and a stripe of reflective material, that's where it all starts. Ventilated yet robust enough to give confidence, it's a on this thin line that the Mangrove motorcycle gloves balance - well!
The focus is on ventilation. Dry, cool hands. But also on a lot of safety equipment. Volcano and Sand 4, remember? Grip and a very direct steering feel, but also a lot of Temperfoam® and TPR protection material. Agility and precision, in smart constructions. The result is always agile and relatively soft. Never hard. No shells, no rigid surfaces. But flexibility - like the tides in mangroves - to swing back and forth and follow your hunch of the moment.
The Mangrove is a short motorcycle glove. From two short ancestors no longer version descendant can arise. Maybe in many cases there will be a small gap between the sleeve end and the cuff. For a motorcycle glove that preaches ventilation and fresh hands, this is no obstacle.
A velcro strip serves to keep everything neatly in place. There is a loop that makes it easier to put on the glove and the reflective material is sufficiently subtle and subtle to see.
