LEATT ADV X-Flow 8.5 Short Glove Sand Brown

Do you want the feel and the durability of leather without the heat that normally comes with it? The Leatt ADV X-Flow 8.5 Short is a short cuff leather motorcycle glove made from perforated leather, so air moves straight through it. That makes it a glove for hot days on gravel, sand and tarmac, the days you spend a long time in the saddle.

Perforated leather that takes abuse The glove is made from soft drum dyed leather. That leather is dyed all the way through, so it stays supple even after it has been soaked and dried out a few times. The perforations let the airflow reach your skin. In the places that meet the ground first in a crash the leather is doubled up, exactly where a thin summer glove gives up.

Direct contact with the handlebar The palm uses NanoGrip, built from nanofibres 7,500 times thinner than a human hair. It tells you what the front wheel is doing, even when the gloves are wet. Lycra between the fingers lets your hand fold around the bar without the leather fighting you. The short neoprene cuff with its closure flap sits tight around your wrist and stays clear of your sleeve and your watch, which helps on a day of fuel stops and photographs with the gloves coming on and off.

Protection and finish ReaFlex over the knuckles stays soft while you ride and hardens under a hit. TPR on the fingers handles stone chips and branches, and a slider in the palm lets your hand slide on in a crash. Multi row technical stitching keeps the seams together. Touchscreen fingertips run your navigation without taking a glove off, and the pull loop at the cuff gets them back on quickly. The glove is CE tested and certified to EN 13594:2015 and ships in plastic free packaging.
