RiDE Recommended racing gloves from HELD. It takes 5 hours to assemble the 156 parts that make up each pair. And the result speaks for itself: They feel like a second skin and perform in the best and worst situations second to none.

Carbon-fibre knuckle shells: Carbon/GRP shells are coated with a ceramic/polymer matrix and Kevlar fibre to perform to DIN388, which means to you and me that it takes 8000 revolutions with glass-paper abrasive before the protection develops visible holes.

Side of hand reinforcement: Carbon-fibre shells with carbon/leather reinforcements keep your sides protected.

Sting Ray leather innovation: Ball of thumb and knuckles are protected with highly abrasion resistant leather made from Sting Ray skins. These are backed with shock absorbing gel pads to ensure that a falling rider slides more easily and with less chance of fractured limbs.

Safe construction: One of the most vulnerable parts of our hands are the little fingers which easily twist in an accident; As a result the Phantom protects the little and the ring finger with KEVLAR all round and finger sleeves are slightly joined to reduce the risk of twisting.

Comfort all round: HELD use step seam machines when making the Phantom gloves; Step seams mean there is no inner welt to the seam which creates a flatter surface with fewer pressure and abrasion points. And that gives you greater comfort and better control! In Europe, only HELD have the machinery to manufacture gloves with step seams.

Real grip, astonishing control, amazing protection.
