Product Details
The Helstons Basik Summer Perforated Cowhide Leather Motorcycle Gloves in Black are the perforated 20180019 NO version of Helstons' Basik warm-weather glove. Soft full-grain cowhide, a lightly waxed finish and perforations give riders a straightforward leather option for warmer rides, while the reinforced palm, memory-foam protection and adjustable wrist tab support everyday road use.
Who these gloves are for
These short summer gloves suit riders who want a simple, flexible leather glove for warmer conditions without a bulky touring cuff. The Black colourway is model reference 20180019 NO and should not be confused with the separate non-perforated Basik Soft reference 20180020.

Protection and certification
Helstons' official EU type-examination document for the Basik family records EN 13594:2015 Level 1 for reference 20180019. That certificate was valid until 4 February 2024, and Helstons currently publishes no replacement certificate. This listing therefore does not present the model as holding current certification or describe the memory-foam protector as a separate CE Level 2 component.
Size guide
Helstons' official Basik documentation covers men's glove sizes 8 to 13. This Black listing currently contains the following selectable size mappings:
| Shopify size | Helstons glove size |
|---|---|
| S | 8 |
| L | 10 |
| XL | 11 |
| 3XL | 13 |
The Helstons numbers are glove sizes, not palm measurements in centimetres. A motorcycle glove should feel secure without restricting finger movement. If you are between sizes, compare the available options in person where possible.

Are they touchscreen compatible?
Helstons and its UK distributor do not specify touchscreen compatibility for this model.
