WFX CITY EVO GTX SHORTS

Description

Choose between long and short versions. The WFX City Evo GTX is the ideal glove for tackling winter in style, both in the city and on the outskirts, and for medium-distance road trips. Its upper structure in Softshell fabric is both windproof and water-repellent.

Its leather palm with soft slider and Ergo Protech® honeycomb metacarpal protection concealed under fabric offer perfect protection. Waterproofing is ensured by a GORE-TEX® breathable membrane, a benchmark in the field. As for thermal insulation, the WFX City Evo GTX inaugurates an innovative concept in terms of construction. Most winter gloves have always been built the same way...

To put it simply: thick, dense thermal insulation on the top of the hand, and thinner insulation in the palm extending up to the fingertips. This is the weak point of this traditional construction. Cold eventually penetrates through the forks (as the area between the fingers is called). FIVE is rethinking the fundamentals of thermal insulation by adopting a new construction christened THERMO+™, offering up to 20% thermal gain, based on PRIMALOFT® insulation, the top in the field.

The concept is quite simple: the thick insulation at the top flows down to the fingertips, while the thinner insulation is contained at the (flat) base of the palm and fingers. This means that all other elements of the glove, such as the external structure and the waterproof membrane, have to be reconsidered in order to maintain perfect flexibility and a good grip on the handlebars. It's when riding in the cold that the full benefits of Thermo+™ construction become apparent.

The thicker, denser insulation in the forks provides a much more effective thermal barrier, and helps preserve the hand's natural warmth in the glove, for longer. Add to this the dual (thumb and forefinger) Touch Screen™ touchscreen manipulation system, the Clear Vision Pad for wiping the helmet visor while riding, and you've got a sure-fire value for tackling the city in winter.
