Held Ice Queen Ladies Gloves In Black

Held is one of the longest established and most respected names in the motorcycle glove business. They know how to make a glove that works, and they know how to make a glove that is comfortable to wear. The Held Ice Queen glove is for winter. Now winter biking gloves for women can be problematic. And that is because, in general, women’s hands and fingers are more slender. When you make a winter glove with lots of thermal insulation they can become impossible to wear, delivering no feel at the controls. The Held Ice Queen is a full-on winter glove, but it is not a thick and heavy glove. The chassis is a particularly supple cowhide. The waterproof membrane is by Hipora. The thermal comes courtesy of premium-quality Thinsulate. This is one of the most highly regarded hollow-fibre insulators on the market. It delivers great insulation, but without bulk. In terms of protection, you get a hard, knuckle protector, an extra layer of leather down the side of the hand, and a panel of Superfabric at the heel of the palm. This glove wants for nothing. It is beautifully put together; it uses all the best components, and it is supremely comfortable. The only surprising thing about this glove is the price. It is truly a  premium-quality glove at what one can only suggest is a mid-market price point.
