Product Details
The Held Southfield in Black is a lightweight men's summer motorcycle glove for urban and touring riders. It combines a goatskin leather palm with Armalith Stretch Denim and stretch textile panels, giving a close, flexible short-cuff fit for warm, dry-weather riding. This listing is Held article 22401 in Black colour code 01.
The palm is unlined for direct feel at the controls, while the back of the hand has a lightweight lining. There is no waterproof membrane, so the Southfield is not intended as a wet-weather glove.
Who are the Held Southfield gloves for?
Choose the Southfield for commuting, city riding and warm-weather touring when you want a short-cuff leather-textile glove with ventilation and touchscreen convenience. Riders who regularly travel in rain or cold conditions should choose a waterproof or insulated alternative.
