Product Details
The Held Hamada WP in Black is a waterproof men’s adventure and touring motorcycle glove for spring-to-autumn riding. A flexible Nyspan and microfibre back combines with a colourfast, sweat-resistant goatskin palm, while Held’s integrated SKINFIT membrane provides waterproof, windproof and breathable weather protection.
Who are the Held Hamada WP gloves for?
These short-cuff gloves suit road, touring and adventure riders who need waterproof protection without a bulky winter-glove construction. This Black 01 listing includes Regular sizes 6 to 12, plus Short and Long finger-length options in sizes 7 to 12.
Key features and benefits
- Waterproof weather protection: the integrated SKINFIT membrane is waterproof, windproof and breathable.
- Control feel and durability: the colourfast, sweat-resistant goatskin palm balances flexibility with abrasion resistance.
- Flexible textile back: Nyspan, microfibre and stretch panels support movement across the back of the hand.
- Comfortable cuff: a neoprene cuff with hook-and-loop adjustment helps secure the glove.
- Touchscreen use: Held’s NUDUD technology uses special leather at the finger and thumb for operation of compatible smartphones.

No. Held classifies the Hamada WP for spring-to-autumn use. It has a lightweight lining rather than heavy winter insulation.
What protection do they have?
The gloves are certified to EN 13594:2015 and have a reinforced hand edge. Held says the foam-covered knuckle construction has been impact tested, but the foam itself provides no dedicated knuckle protection.
