The Held Sambia 2in1 Evo in Black is a versatile men’s adventure and touring motorcycle glove with GORE-TEX 2in1 technology. Its two hand compartments let the rider choose between an unlined side for direct control feel and a waterproof side with Pique-Push-Pull lining for wet-weather protection.

Who are the Held Sambia 2in1 Evo gloves for?

These gloves suit riders who encounter changing conditions through spring, summer and autumn. The unlined compartment, perforated kangaroo-leather palm and finger vents provide a close feel in milder weather, while the integrated GORE-TEX compartment is designed for waterproof, windproof and breathable protection when conditions turn wet.

How does GORE-TEX 2in1 work?

• Unlined compartment: positions the hand for maximum feel, ventilation and direct contact with the palm.
• Waterproof compartment: uses the integrated GORE-TEX membrane and Pique-Push-Pull lining for wet-weather comfort.

Both compartments are built into the same glove, allowing the rider to choose the feel that best suits the conditions.

Moto Central fitting guidance

Because this glove contains two separate hand compartments, each side can feel slightly different when first tried on. Check the fit in both positions with your hand wrapped around a handlebar grip. The glove should be secure without restricting circulation or pulling tightly across the knuckles. Contact Moto Central or visit our showroom if you would like help checking the fit.
