Fresco II glove with TFL-Cool- System technology
Internationally recognised motorcycle gloves and apparel specialist Held has introduced what it describes as a " revolutionary technology capable of disrupting established , common sense assumptions about the rules of summer heat management - allowing even the darkest skin to reflect sunlight as if it were light in colour , keeping the inside of the glove cooler ". The first Held glove specifically dedicated to motorcyclists dates back to 1975 , and since then the German company has never stopped carrying out research , always pushing the ' art of the possible ' to take motorcycle glove technology that little bit further , which is in its DNA . The Fresco II summer touring glove is unlined , has a back in soft cowhide , a palm in kangaroo leather ( highly resistant to abrasion ), a durable sweat-proof colour , but above all it uses the breakthrough TFL-Cool-System technology . Counterintuitively , Held says that dark skin now no longer needs to automatically get warmer than light coloured skin under the heat of the sun . TFL- Cool-System technology is a system that , applied to dark skin , radiates the sun ' s rays just as if it were lighter coloured skin . The surface temperature of the leather can be reduced by over 20 degrees C , with the wearer experiencing a reduction in the internal temperature that can go as low as -12 degrees C - improving heat resistance while maintaining its original appearance . Additional features of the Fresco II include special stitching , removing pressure points inside the glove to improve sensitivity , crease-free , pre-curved palm , adjustable Velcro closures for wrist and inner sleeve and elastic inserts on the back , thumb and fingers . The Fresco II is EN 13594:2015 certified ( protective gloves for motorcyclists ) and there is special Temperfoam for knuckle protection ( knuckle shell tested with an impact test ), Teramid to protect the thumb base , and reinforcements on the side of the hand , the ball of the thumb and on the palm of the glove . It is available in black in men ' s and women ' s sizes .
