Motorcycle Protection
HOLESHOT PRO – SEMI GAUNTLET HYBRID RIDING GLOVES
The Holeshot Pro is the updated version of the popular Holeshot, featuring contemporary aesthetics & added features, while retaining all that made the original a top choice for riders. Designed with your daily commute in mind, the Holeshot Pro offers enhanced comfort and protection for both city use and weekend rides. It ensures high airflow through the 3D air mesh panel on the back of the hand, while providing maximum protection with perforated goatskin leather on the palm. Additionally, KNOX SPS sliders are integrated into the palm to prevent scaphoid injuries caused by the grab effect during a fall.
These are my first actual CE certified gloves and I was initially reluctant to wear them as they looked uncomfortable. However, it took just one ride to get used to them. Now I don't ride without these gloves. They offer the perfect balance of protection and comfort.
Pros
- CE Level 1 certified by Intertek UK
- Excellent grip with perforated goatskin leather palm
- KNOX SPS sliders to prevent scaphoid injuries
- High airflow through 3D mesh panels
- Good comfort for daily commuting
- Suitable for both city rides and weekend adventures
Cons
- Slightly expensive compared to non-certified alternatives
- Cleaning can be challenging due to mixed materials
- Break-in period required for full comfort
Rynox Air GT 4 Jacket
The Rynox AIR GT 4 Jacket is designed for both daily commutes and weekend adventures. It offers comprehensive CE-certified impact protection from Cerros, including asymmetric shoulder protectors. The jacket features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coated shell for water and abrasion resistance and is compatible with the MODULAYER system for adding rain or winter liners. Additional features include increased visibility through reflective panels and an adjustable fit for comfort.
It's good jacket to starts with. It's not light weight if this is your first riding protection jacket but you will get used to it later. Airy mesh and it helped to cool down. Easy to wash and store.
Cons
- Not lightweight (especially as a first protection jacket)
- Takes time to get used to
