WFX METRO WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The all-leather, ultra-insulated winter glove.

In the guise of a subtle all-leather winter glove for the city, the WFX METRO WP introduces an innovative concept in terms of construction and thermal insulation. Most winter gloves have been made the same way for ages…To put it simply: Thick thermal insulation over the top of the hand, and a finer layer on the palm, all the way up to between the fingers. And here was the weak spot of this traditional construction. The cold ends up getting inside through the fourchettes (which is what the area between the fingers is called). FIVE has reinvented the fundamentals of thermal insulation using a new type of construction called THERMO+™, offering up to 20% greater heat retention, based on PRIMALOFT® insulation, the very best in the field. The concept is quite simple: thick insulation on the topside extends down between the fingers, whereas the thinner insulation is limited to the (flat) base of the palm and fingers. This implies reconsidering all the other elements in the glove, such as the external structure or the weatherproof membrane, in order to maintain perfect suppleness overall and a firm grip on the controls. It’s when you ride in the cold that you understand the point of this Thermo+™ construction. The thicker, denser insulation in the fourchettes constitutes a much more effective thermal barrier and helps keep the hand’s natural heat within the glove for longer. Beyond this innovation, the WFX METRO WP has a rare elegance and outstanding perceived quality, due to its all-over full-grain leather construction. Its all-leather, large adjustment tab, worthy of the finest leather goods, contributes to this positive perception. It features all the elements that are common to most FIVE WP gloves, with its breathable, weatherproof 5_Drytech™ membrane, ERGO PROTECH® shells, and its Touch Screen™ and Clear Vision Pad™ systems. The WFX METRO WP will enchant aficionados of fine materials like leather, taking care to keep your hands warm and dry when temperatures are near freezing.

WFX DISTRICT WP

A cocoon against the cold.

Designed for exploring the city in the winter on an everyday basis with nice, warm hands, and wearable underneath your jacket(s), the WFX DISTRICT WP introduces an innovative concept in terms of construction and thermal insulation. Most winter gloves have been made the same way for ages…To put it simply: Thick thermal insulation over the top of the hand, and a finer layer on the palm, all the way up to between the fingers. And here was the weak spot of this traditional construction. The cold ends up getting inside through the fourchettes (which is what the area between the fingers is called).

It’s when you ride in the cold that you understand the point of this Thermo+™ construction. The thicker, denser insulation in the fourchettes constitutes a much more effective thermal barrier and helps keep the hand’s natural heat within the glove for longer. Beyond this innovation, the WFX DISTRICT WP stands out due to its composition that combines a supple, full-grain leather palm, topside construction in water-repellent Softshell fabric, and a ribbed cuff that keeps the warmth inside the glove. Supple and comfortable, it features all the elements that are common to FIVE gloves, with its breathable, weatherproof 5_Drytech™ membrane, ERGO PROTECH® shells, and its Touch Screen™ and Clear Vision Pad™ systems. The WFX DISTRICT WP is made for riders who, persuaded by the ribbed cuff concept (which is well-proven for insulation from the cold), are looking for a discreet, high-performance glove to face the city and its dangers, which are heightened in the winter.

SPARK WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

Sportivité et élégance, pour aborder la ville… sous la pluie.

The SPARK WP combines urban elegance and sportiness with waterproofness. Featuring the protective qualities of the SPARK, inherited from sportier designs, it’s nicely enhanced, in this WP version, with a 5_DRYTECH™ breathable/weatherproof membrane.

As the waterproof version of our SPARK style, which has been a real success for the summer season, the SPARK WP is the ideal glove for when it might rain, or even when it’s pouring, or simply when temperatures are cooling down. It includes a waterproof/breathable 5_DRYTECH™ membrane, which is partially bonded to the palm for impeccable grip, allowing you to ride dry, even when it’s raining cats and dogs…As long as you’ve slipped the cuff of your waterproof jacket over it, of course. It represents a first-rate choice for those who want a comfortable and elegant waterproof glove that features exciting characteristics inspired by sportier styles. Because though it’s clearly designed for urban use, it includes a honeycombed ERGO PROTECH® metacarpal protective shell. The SPARK WP seeks to be discreet; this means that it’s all concealed underneath elegant, laminated fabric that raindrops will simply slide across…

The city is full of traps and slippery streets, especially in the autumn. So, since we tend to put our hands out in front of us if we fall, the SPARK WP’s full-grain leather palm hosts a helpful soft slider shell that will protect its rider in case of unexpected contact with the ground. The rest of the time, it knows how to stay discreet and won’t cause even the slightest discomfort at the controls. The SPARK WP is, therefore, truly reassuring, in addition to being comfortable.

It’s also practical: Equipped with the Touch Screen™ system on the thumb and index finger, it allows you to zoom in on your smartphone or GPS touchscreen using two fingers. It’s just what you need to find your way through the heart of the city. Slipping the glove on is made even easier than before with the addition of a Lycra® insert underneath the Velcro® adjustment tab. This is a truly handy detail when you need to put on or take off your gloves often as you zip across the urban landscape from one meeting to another.

The SPARK WP is designed to be your everyday partner in nearly any kind of weather, as long as temperatures aren’t in total freefall. Since it also serves as a windbreaker, it’s particularly effective as a mid-season glove, when a summer glove would be too lightweight and a winter one, too bulky. It may even give you a little jolt: the feeling of enjoyment when you’re riding your bike in total freedom while you (why not?) sing in the rain!

 

  • Laminated polyester fabric topside
  • Supple full-grain goat leather palm
  • Ultra-tough stretch Nylon fourchettes between fingers
  • 5_DRYTECH™ breathable, weatherproof membrane, partially bonded

  • ERGO PROTECH® soft TPR protective shell on hypothenar (palm slider)
  • Protective reinforcements in foam rubber on ring and pinky fingers
