WFX PRIME EVO GTX

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The new-gen winter glove that keeps you even warmer.

The WFX PRIME EVO GTX offers the very best to face the winter cold. Made of goat leather and Softshell fabric, it includes a GORE-TEX® membrane, Primaloft® thermal insulation, and FIVE Thermo+™ construction for unparalleled comfort in the cold.

As the next iteration of the WFX Prime, the first FIVE glove featuring heat-sealed seamless construction on the topside so it’s totally waterproof, the WFX Prime Evo GTX takes protection from the cold a step further by using FIVE THERMO+™ construction, an innovative concept in thermal insulation.
Most winter gloves have been made in the same way for ages…To put it simply, with thick, dense thermal insulation on the topside of the hand and a thinner layer on the palm, all the way up to between the fingers. And this is the weak point of this traditional type of construction. The cold ends up getting in through the fourchettes (this is what the zone between the fingers is called). FIVE has redesigned the basic principles of thermal insulation by using a new method of construction we call THERMO+™, which offers up to 20% greater thermal efficiency. The idea is quite simple: the thick insulation on the topside reaches all the way down into the area between the fingers, whereas the thinner insulation is contained within the flat part of the palm and fingers. This means rethinking all the other elements in the glove to preserve the impeccable suppleness of it all, as well as proper grip on the controls. It’s when you ride in the cold that you can truly understand the benefits of Thermo+™ construction. The thicker and more dense insulation in the fourchettes creates a much more effective heat barrier and helps keep the hand’s natural heat inside the glove for even longer.

The fabrication of this premium winter glove is ultra-modern. The use of cutting-edge technological materials, such as the Soft Shell structure, the GORE-TEX® Grip™ membrane that’s partly bonded to the palm, and Primaloft® Gold ultra-high-performance, water-repellent thermal insulation allowed us to create a glove that’s both waterproof and warm without being too bulky. It offers unparalleled touch sensitivity and exceptional thermal and handling capabilities, which will allow you to face bad weather and the cold without any worries whatsoever. But, since in winter, the risk of taking a spill is just as high as that of falling temperatures, the WFX Prime Evo GTX features premium protective elements: a FIVE ERGO PROTECH® one-piece shell and a wide panel in SuperFabric®, an ultra-tough fabric that includes epoxy resin microbeads, visible on the thenar eminence and concealed underneath the leather on the hypothenar. Not to mention, and this is new for this EVO version, a soft-TPR protective palm shell in ERGO PROTECH.

The WFX Prime Evo GTX: all the advantages of a lightweight and highly protective glove, with real warmth as a bonus.

UNIT

The cold doesn’t always announce its arrival and isn’t limited to wintertime. You may need some protection from it on chilly mornings or evenings, or even in the daytime when the weather proves to be particularly unpleasant (wind, clouds, etc.).

Wearing UNIT under-gloves underneath your usual gloves will astutely keep away that cold that can so easily creep in under such conditions. Made from tough stretch nylon, they offer a very comfortable additional layer in situations like this. Truly lightweight, they’ll fit easily in a small bag or underneath your seat, so you’ll always have them ready. They cover a range of sizes and, so, can be perfect for either you or your passenger.

 

  • Tough stretch nylon fabric topside
  • Nylon palm
  • Touch Screen™ system on thumb

ULTRA WS

Posted by david@ukiyo |

When winter comes, the cold seeps in during most of our rides. So we need to be ready for it. The best thing to do is to choose winter gloves that are specially designed to offer excellent thermal insulation. But you may also want to use the everyday pair that you normally do when the weather is less severe. One solution to this is to slip on a pair of Ultra WS gloves underneath. Their GORE-TEX® WindStopper structure acts as a barrier against the wind and cold (without being totally waterproof), retaining the heat that’s naturally emitted by your hands. Their thinness allows you to slip them into your usual gloves, as long as the latter are not too tight. These gloves can also be used on their own, for bicycling or on foot for hikes or simple jaunts around town. Truly tough, they’ll be your faithful companion throughout your various wintertime activities.

 

  • GORE-TEX® WindStopper seamless construction
  • Touch Screen™ system on index finger and thumb

WFX SKIN EVO GTX

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The new all-leather urban & touring GORE-TEX® winter glove.

The WFX Skin Evo GTX represents an alluring evolution of the WFX Skin GTX, our bestselling urban/suburban winter glove. Though its predecessor was essentially designed for city riders, the WFX Skin Evo GTX wants to be more versatile. It widens the riding spectrum and will also delight Touring fans looking to have an understated, comfortable, and elegant leather glove to face the winter. Made mostly of full-grain Napa goat leather, renowned for its extreme suppleness, with the addition of a few stretchy Softshell fabric inserts for ease of movement and comfort, it aims to be protective, in every sense of the word, in the city or on the road. Its GORE-TEX® weatherproof, breathable membrane and PrimaLoft® Gold water-repellent thermal insulation offer the best possible guarantee that you’ll stay dry and warm in bad weather; this is why we’ve opted to use these premium elements on the WFX Skin Evo GTX. And to stop any raindrops from getting inside your sleeve, the cuff is now covered with Taslan™ water-repellent fabric, for truly optimized weatherproofing. In terms of safety, the WFX Skin Evo GTX has naturally adopted the latest generation of FIVE ERGO PROTECH® ergonomic protective shells, including a semi-soft, honeycombed shell on the palm, to protect you in case you take a spill. The topside shell is simply concealed underneath the leather, for a more subtle look. The dual-closure system also promises perfect fit and support. We’ve obviously also offered you the ability to handle your touchscreen devices and wipe off your visor while you ride with the WFX Skin Evo GTX, which features the Touch Screen™ and Clear Vision Pad™ systems. Discretion and protection (against the cold, rain, and any falls) are the key concepts that we had in mind when we developed the WFX Skin Evo GTX. 

As you can see, here, we’re in the presence of a refined and comfortable glove that will take you elegantly and effectively from the city during the week to the road on the weekends, all winter long. Available in men’s or women’s versions.

WFX CITY EVO LONG GTX

Posted by david@ukiyo |

Length to chose… comfort in both.

You have a choice between a long or a short version. The WFX City Evo GTX is the ideal glove to face the winter with elegance, both in the city and the suburbs, and to take on middle-distance road trips with peace of mind. Its topside construction in Softshell fabric is both windproof and water-repellent. Its leather palm featuring a soft slider and honeycombed ERGO PROTECH® metacarpal protective shells hidden underneath the fabric offer impeccable protection. Weatherproofing is ensured by a breathable GORE-TEX® membrane, the benchmark name in the field. As for thermal insulation, the WFX City Evo GTX introduces an innovative concept in terms of construction. 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. Add to this the dual (thumb and index finger) Touch Screen™ system for handling electronic devices, the Clear Vision Pad that allows you to wipe off the visor of your helmet while you ride, the dual closure system that includes the Over Size Cuff (on LONG version) to make it easier to fit the cuff over your jacket’s sleeve, and you have a sure bet to face the city in the wintertime.

WFX1 EVO WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The winning combination of leather and fabric to face the rigors of winter.

Usefully combining the benefits of leather with the technical advantages offered by some synthetic materials was our goal in designing the WFX 1 EVO WP, a modern, warm, comfortable, protective, and supple glove to face the harshness of winter. Its entire palm is made from goat leather, renowned for its extreme suppleness. The same goes for most of its topside construction, to which we’ve added water-repellent, stretch technical fabrics. The main asset of this WFX1 EVO WP is clearly its Primaloft® thermal insulation, a sort of water-resistant, synthetic down fill that captures the natural heat of your hands to create a thermal barrier against outside temperatures. The 5_DRYTECH™ membrane ensures the breathability and weatherproofing you need when it’s raining. It’s glued to the palm, ensuring that it stays put and offering better grip on the handlebars. An internal lining on the top of the hand in synthetic fur adds a feeling of soft comfort that’s comforting when the cold gets to you. Protection is provided by a one-piece ERGO PROTECH® shell concealed under the fabric on the metacarpals, and by the very latest in soft palm shells, along with reinforcements on the outer fingers. Comfort gussets around the wrist contribute to perfect freedom of movement. Particular attention has been paid to the cuff and the closure system. The Over Size Cuff System allows you to adjust the length of the cuff using a weatherproof zipper, so you can more easily wear it over your jacket’s sleeve. A two-point adjustment-strap anchor ensures perfect wrist hold. The WFX1 EVO WP features elements that make your everyday ride more enjoyable, such as the Touch Screen™ system for handling device screens, or the Clear Vision Pad™ on the left hand, which allows you to wipe off your helmet visor while you ride. WFX1 EVO WP: the glove designed for long rides in the rain or cold, while your hands stay warm and dry.
