New from Weise for winter 2018/19, Malmo gloves offer warmth and waterproofing in a light and flexible design that’s packed with practical features.
The Weise Design Concept
Three quarters of a century ox expertise in the motorcycle industry is the foundation for the Weise collection. An internationally experienced design team has created a collection of garments specifically targeted to the requirements of those who demand excellence in design, quality and function.
Construction is a mix of full-grain leather on the palm – the rest of the outer shell IS made from textile material, with padding at the knuckles, palms, fingers and thumbs.
A Chamude overlay panel, complete with silicon print, gives improved grip on the bars – ideal in cold and wet conditions.
Hands stay dry thanks to a waterproof, windproof and breathable liner, and insulation is provided by a Thinsulate G60 thermal lining, which retains most of its insulating ability even under damp conditions.
The linings are held in place with the McFIT system, so there is no uncomfortable stitching or seams digging into the hand, and the liners stay firmly in place without twisting or pulling free.
Velcro closure at the cuff and an elasticated wrist section give a snug fit under or over winter riding jackets, and help to seal out cold air and rain.
The Review
We have reviewed a few pairs of motorcycle winter gloves in the past, it is always a compromise between warmth and feeling on the bars. The Weise Malmo gloves still leave plenty of feeling when being worn on the bike but also provide genuine warmth too. Whilst on longer journeys (40+ minutes) the cold can begin to set in, the extra warmth provided by the Thinsulate insulation really does make a difference.
No-frills gloves, simple by design but effective and affordable at £74.99
