Held Air Stream 3.0 Leather Gloves Black
The Held Air Stream 3.0 is a highly ventilated men's summer motorcycle glove for sport and touring riders. It combines a lightweight mesh and leather backhand with a highly abrasion-resistant kangaroo-leather palm, providing airflow while retaining direct feel at the controls.
Who is it for?
The Air Stream 3.0 suits riders who want a protective leather glove for warm and hot conditions without the insulation or membrane used in wet-weather and winter gloves.
