URBAN WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The long urban glove that’s…weatherproof.

A new FIVE design made for urban use (as its name indicates), the Urban WP opts for a long, sleek cuff, to offer its rider maximum protection that can be worn either over or underneath your jacket’s sleeve. Here we present its weatherproof version, featuring a 5_DRYTECH™ membrane that allows you to use it when it rains. Compared to short gloves, the Urban WP’s style confers a certain elegance and classic look. You’ll also feel truly safe, due to its topside one-piece PVC shell underneath the leather, along with its many other protective elements. The accordion gusset on the wristband, coupled with a Velcro® adjustment tab, makes it easy to slip on and adjust to your hand. And finally, the Urban WP features the Touch Screen™ system, which allows you to activate your GPS or smartphone screens. It’s so practical not to have to take off your glove to make a call or find your way through the urban jungle.

 

• Main structure in goat leather (topside and palm), for suppleness
• Long cuff that includes foam forearm protection
• 5_DRYTECH™ weatherproof / breathable membrane
• One-piece PVC metacarpo-phalangeal protective shell underneath the leather
• Protective foam pads on the index, middle, ring fingers and thumb
• Comfort gussets on the index and middle fingers
• Water-repellent Lycra® fourchettes, to combine flexibility with dryness
• Synthetic leather palm reinforcement for grip 
• Synthetic leather reinforcement and TPR protective shell on the hypothenar
• Simple closure featuring a synthetic leather and Velcro® tab
• Touch Screen™system (on the index finger) for handling electronic devices

MILANO EVO WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

Simple, understated, and efficient.

The Milano, our weatherproof, breathable urban glove designed mainly for mid-season scooter riding, has been completely restyled in 2021. Fully updated, it still retains the characteristics that made its predecessor a real success. It features a protective shell concealed underneath nylon fabric and a leather palm, promising absolute protection. It also features a weatherproof, breathable
5_DRYTECH™ membrane, thus offering a layer of thermal insulation to protect its rider from the cold. Sleek and subtle, the new Milano Evo retains its fashionable look, making it the perfect companion for elegant occasions, worn underneath a raincoat.

 

• Synthetic fabric (topside) and full-grain goat-leather (palm side) construction
• PVC metacarpophalangeal protective shells underneath the fabric
• Internal 5_DRYTECH™ weatherproof, breathable membrane
• Thermal-insulating foam
• Memory-foam hypothenar protection underneath the leather
• Leather palm reinforcement
• Closure system with synthetic leather and Velcro® tab
• Touch Screen™ system for handling electronic devices (on the index finger)

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.

 

• Supple full-grain goat leather topside
• Supple full-grain goat leather palm
• 5_Drytech™ breathable, weatherproof membrane, partially bonded
• Innovative FIVE Thermo+ Insulation offering 20% more insulation, includes PrimaLoft® Silver 170 g on topside and 60 g Gold Grip control in palm
• ERGO PROTECH® one-piece metacarpal-knuckle protective shell with internal honeycombed structure, hidden underneath material
• ERGO PROTECH® soft TPR protective shell on hypothenar (palm slider)
• Velcro cuff closure
• Reflective fabric on pinky finger
• Touch Screen system™ on index finger and thumb
• Clear Vision Pad™ on the left hand for wiping helmet visor or goggles
• CE KP1

WFX DISTRICT WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

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.
