There are various types of motorcycles, from hot-blooded sports cars to comfortable sheep, from flexible crawlers to steady cruisers, there is always one that suits your heart. Some riders only love retro cars that are nostalgic but not outdated. They not only pay attention to the appearance of the vehicle, but even line up the clothes and equipment before leaving the car, so as to exude a unique retro flavor from head to toe. Vintage helmets are a must for them, but gloves may not be for everyone. In fact, gloves are also an indispensable part of the retro look. As long as you choose the right gloves, the whole retro look can be further improved.

Gloves are essential for hands that are vulnerable to car falls

Hong Kong law stipulates that, except for special reasons such as religion, riders must wear a helmet when driving a motorcycle to protect the rider's safety, but there are no regulations on wearing gloves. Of course, gloves have little effect on the driving operation, but they are important equipment to protect the knight's hands. Once the car falls, we will subconsciously support our body with our hands and withstand a certain impact. Without the protection of gloves, the skin will be scratched in the slightest, and the joints and bones will be injured in severe cases, which will affect the mobility of the hands. Being unable to drive for a long time, even daily activities are affected, the consequences can be very serious. Therefore, the safest way is to drive with gloves on, which can not only enhance protection, but also make the operation of the vehicle more delicate and more tactile.

Leather gloves are wear-resistant and comfortable, the more you wear them, the more retro they look

Speaking of retro gloves, I have to introduce Helstons. This product from the French brand has both functional and protective properties, and its appearance is also very stylish. It is very popular among retro car riders in Europe and the United States. The biggest feature of Helstons leather gloves is that the gloves are made of cowhide or goatskin, which are very wear-resistant and will never be easily damaged; the ventilation performance is also good, and they are soft and comfortable after wearing without feeling stuffy. They are definitely a must for retro car riders choice. In order to enhance the protective effect, hard shells or pads are added to the palms and joints of some gloves, so that the rider can get out of the car with peace of mind and enjoy the time with his car.

In terms of style, the simple and low-key all black or gray pattern on black background is of course a classic and easy-to-line choice. If you want to be more special, you can also choose beige or beige. Cavaliers don’t have to worry about the white gloves being too prominent. After a period of use, the surface of the gloves will naturally have more gray traces of use, and the retro flavor will explode immediately!

Let me introduce another brand, Furygan, which is also from France. She is very experienced in the development of leather products and has mature technology. Top drivers such as MotoGP use Furygan products. Of course, as a comprehensive motorcycle body parts brand, of course, it will also take care of the needs of retro players and launch retro gloves. Like Helstons, Furygan's retro gloves are also made of genuine leather. The goatskin becomes softer after repeated use, and it is breathable and comfortable to wear. Furygan's tan gloves are very retro in themselves, and they match up with retro cars very well. Of course, retro players can't miss it.

Gloves will become loose after use, try them on and choose the right size

When purchasing genuine leather gloves, you should also pay attention to the size. The leather will become loose with repeated use. If the glove size is already too large, it may become too loose in the future. Therefore, it is best to try it on yourself before buying to choose a suitable one. size. Considering that some female riders have smaller hands, Helstons and Furygan also offer women's gloves with the same stylish appearance. Female riders may wish to consider buying them.

Proper maintenance of leather gloves go a long way together

By the way, share the maintenance of leather gloves. The weather in Hong Kong is humid and rainy. It is best to dry the gloves in a dry and ventilated place after use. You can also use an appropriate cleaning spray to clean and deodorize the gloves. For deeper cleaning, you can prepare sponges and soft brushes to wipe the leather surface. We do not recommend washing gloves in the washing machine as excessive force may damage the leather. After cleaning, a small amount of leather oil or petroleum jelly can be used to lubricate the leather surface to make the leather look more shiny. The design and structure of each pair of gloves are different, and there will be slight differences in maintenance. It is best to check with the store staff when purchasing, so that your gloves can accompany you for a longer journey.
