PRO GuIDe 'Zeus' and 'Athena' summer gloves and 'Ikaro' jacket ‘Zeus’ ‘Athena’ These new cropped gloves from Hevik are available in male ('Zeus') and female ('Athena') versions. Said to be lightweight, comfortable and protective (CE certified to EN 13594:2015, Level 1), the gloves have a "sporty design, and the combination of technical materials focuses on a breathable mesh, providing ventilation of the hands and on the rigid knuckle and finger bone protectors". The gloves are mainly made from microfibre textile with inserts in Neoprene, nylon, polyester and mesh. The wicking system is said to be particularly effective with a 3D mesh extending along the index and middle fingers in addition to the palm and back of the hand and there are rigid PU protectors on knuckles and finger bones. The cuff closure in Neoprene is by an adjustable hook and loop strap, and the gloves also feature reflective applications. Colours are black, black/grey ('Zeus') and black, grey ('Athena'), with 'Athena' having a female-specific fit. Also seen here, the new 'Ikaro' cross-sector jacket protects from heat, wind and humidity and is certified to the prEN 17092 standard. Described as a "high-quality jacket designed for cross-sector urban/touring use", it is made of polyester and "structured to offer higher than average ventilation" with mesh zones strategically positioned on the chest, back and inner portion of the sleeves. The waterproof and breathable HUMAX membrane was tested to a water column rating of 10,000 mm and can be worn as an inner or outer layer on top of the jacket. The jacket is equipped with Velcro straps at the wrist cuffs and elasticated at the waistline. It features CE Level 1 certified viscoelastic protectors at the shoulders and elbows and additionally it is ready to accommodate a back protector. 'Ikaro' is available in a wide range of sizes and in black, grey and neon yellow.
