The waterproof Fusion 3 GTX motorcycle gloves are road warriors that when combined with heated grips can really show what they’re made of.
To clarify that first sentence, we’ll go over the construction of the Fusion 3 GTX from the inside out: the Exkin® Platinum lining on the back of the hand makes sure that the heat of the grips cannot ‘escape’. Like a lid on a container, that keeps the contents – your hands – warm for longer. Cleverly designed and an important step in the right direction when searching for the – tough – balance between warm hands, good gloves, protection, grip and steering feel, the weather elements… and we could go on.
If you use heated grips regularly, then you’ll love these. The Fusion 3 GTX has a lining that consists of 3M™ Thinsulate™ (100 grams), a high-loft fur lining and the Exkin® Platinum insulation as an added bonus. On top of that – we told you, inside out – is a waterproof and breathing GORE-TEX membrane. If there’s one thing that comes close to the ideal waterproof formula, then it has to be this. That’s how we get to the outer layer of this motorcycle glove, that is a mixture of goatskin, sheep hide and textile.
The list of materials and applications is actually more impressive than that. REV’IT! likes to think and work in ‘protective levels’, for a wear and tear-resistant unit. The Fusion 3 GTX motorcycle glove has a palm in tinted goatskin with WR finish and a layer of sheep hide. The PWR|shell twill stretch, laminated reflection, Flock PU as visor wiper and leather for conductive fingertips each have their place and function. The integrated protective material also forms quite a list: a hard-shell knuckle protector and TPU hard shell palm slider, PU on the fingers and everything amply sprinkled with Temperfoam®.
In one sentence? In layman’s terms? The combination of textile and leather, with all the other wear-resistant materials, keep the hands safe, without compromising the look & feel of these strong gloves. And they work wonders when combined with heated grips.
These motorcycle gloves have a style that matches everything ‘touring’ and their technical substance turns them into the perfect commuters. The elasticated wrist, the stretch inserts, conductive fingertips and grip, the visor wiper and the cuff that reaches over part of the wrist all contribute to that.
