These relatively long Halifax motorcycle gloves, made from goatskin and softshell have been endowed with a waterproof membrane, turning them into genuine, almost old-school-style comfortable motorcycle gloves.
We use old-school in a positive sense here, thinking of the pleasant nostalgia that is linked to motorcycle gloves that you really slide into and that run halfway up your forearm. Made from soft and supple leather, with options to make the cuff and wrist fit tightly, or not at all. In both cases it’s a matter of fitting because the Halifax motorcycle gloves use an additional internal cuff that provides a very effective layer of thermal insulation. Function and style do go hand in hand here.
The large share of leather guarantees lots of wear-resistance and protection. Where useful, it has been applied in a double layer for even better protection. The synthetic knuckle protector inspires confidence.
The softshell inserts serve as comfort level enhancers, providing flexibility. They can be found between the fingers and on the back of the hand, where a little leeway is nice to have. There’s specific material for better grip on the inside. These Halifax motorcycle gloves are – although focused on winter – under no circumstance and in no situation inconventient(ly bulky).
In conclusion, the Halifax motorcycle gloves are very comfortable to wear. The (water-repellent) zipper on the cuff is an added value for everyone who likes to wear their motorcycle gloves inside the sleeves of their motorcycle jacket. Tight? Yes. The sensor system – touchscreen material on the appropriate fingertips – allows for use on smart devices.
The visor wiper is made of soft material and runs down the index finger and thumb in the shape of an L. The reflective details of the Halifax complete the picture.
