Held Sambia Pro Gloves
Technical Excellence Meets Rider Experience
In the realm of motorcycle gear, the Held Sambia Pro gloves stand out for their superior construction and rider-centric design. Certified under EN 13594:2015 as protective gloves for motorcyclists, these gloves offer the durability and sensitivity essential for both off-road and regular riding.
Technical Specifications
- Materials: The gloves are crafted from kangaroo and goat leather and provide unmatched durability and flexibility. The palm features SuperFabric® with an Armaprotec underlay, enhancing abrasion resistance.
- Protection: These gloves are designed to safeguard against the rigors of riding. They are equipped with robust, impact-tested hard plastic knuckle protectors and additional padding at the palm base.
- Comfort and Functionality: The Air Circulation System (ACS) with vents on the fingers and palms ensures optimal airflow, keeping hands cool. Practical features like a visor wiper and smartphone-compatible leather on the fingers add everyday usability.
Rider Experience
Upon first wearing the Held Sambia Pro gloves, the initial snugness gave way to a comfortable, secure fit that adapts to the hands’ contours, thanks to the glove’s thoughtful design. Although the fingers felt slightly long initially, this sensation disappeared once I engaged with my bike’s controls, confirming that the gloves’ design aligns with a natural riding posture.
The most impressive aspect during use was the ventilation. On a particularly hot ride, the effectiveness of the ACS became apparent; extending my hand away from the handlebar allowed me to experience a refreshing airflow that penetrated through the knuckle vents and perforations across the glove. This feature proved theoretically sound and beneficial during prolonged, warm rides.
The Held Sambia Pro gloves go beyond serving as simple riding equipment; they showcase Held’s commitment to quality and rider satisfaction. The blend of high-grade materials, comprehensive protection, and thoughtful features make them ideal for riders who demand both performance and comfort. Navigating city streets and exploring rugged terrains become more enjoyable with these gloves, which combine technical superiority with practical improvements to support any ride.
Highly recommended for their protective features and ventilation efficiency, the Held Sambia Pro gloves offer a significant upgrade for any motorcyclist looking to combine safety with comfort. As I continue to use these gloves, their value becomes increasingly evident, making them a staple in my riding kit.
