WFX PRIME GTX

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The new-generation winter glove.

With the WFX Prime, FIVE offers real innovation, introducing its first heat-sealed, seamless glove, for total weatherproofing. The construction of this premium winter glove has a truly modern feel. Our use of cutting-edge materials, such as Soft-Shell construction, a GORE-TEX® Grip™ membrane, and Primaloft® Gold ultra-high-performance, water-repellent thermal insulation has made for a weatherproof, warm winter glove that’s light on bulk. It also offers unparalleled control sensitivity for a winter glove, with any bulk contained around the hand area, and exceptional dynamic and thermal qualities so you can fearlessly face the storms and the cold. Because in winter, it’s easy to take a spill when the temperatures drop, the WFX Prime features top-of-the-line protective elements, such as the new ERGO PROTECH® one-piece shell or the large panel in SuperFabric®, a heavy-duty fabric that contains Epoxy resin microbeads covering most of the palm zone, all the way up to the outer fingers. These elements protect you without slowing you down, since it’s crucial to have total freedom of movement in the fingers and stay alert at the controls when you ride in wintertime conditions. And so, with all this mind, we proudly present the WFX Prime: all the advantages of a lightweight, supple glove, with total warmth as a bonus.

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. 

 

  • Napa goat leather + softshell topside construction
  • Full-grain goat leather palm 
  • GORE-TEX® weatherproof / breathable membrane 
  • PrimaLoft® Gold 200g thermal insulation on the topside
  • PrimaLoft® Grip Control 60g thermal insulation on the palm
  • ERGO PROTECH® metacarpal-knuckle protector 
  • ERGO PROTECH® honeycomb palm slider
  • Dual Closure System 
  • Clear Vision Pad™ on the left hand

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.

 

  • Softshell fabric topside for greater comfort
  • Supple full-grain goat leather palm
  • GORE-TEX® breathable and weatherproof membrane
  • Innovative FIVE Thermo+ Insulation offering 20% more insulation, includes PrimaLoft® Silver 200 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)
  • Over Size Cuff System - adjustable cuff system to adjust cuff around jacket’s sleeve
  • Includes a weatherproof YKK zipper
  • Velcro wrist 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
  • Metal logo on topside
  • CE KP1

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.

 

  • Mixed goat leather and fabric construction (topside) / Goat leather (palm)
  • Weatherproof and breathable 5_DRYTECH™ internal membrane
  • Primaloft® Silver (topside) and Primaloft® Gold (palm) thermal insulation
  • ERGO PROTECH® PVC metacarpo-phalangeal protective shell under nylon
  • ERGO PROTECH® soft TPR hypothenar protective shell (palm slider)
  • Palm reinforcement in embossed synthetic leather for optimal grip on the controls
  • Nylon accordion comfort gussets
  • Textured, reflective 3D logos
  • Dual closure system with a concealed Velcro® adjustment tab under leather, and a cuff adjustment strip 
  • Touch Screen™ system for handling touchscreen devices
  • Clear Vision Pad™ system (left hand) to wipe off your helmet visor while you ride

WFX2 EVO WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

Updated, but still affordable.

The WFX2 EVO WP represents a major evolution over the WFX2 WP (which still has its place in our range), making it an even more effective winter glove that remains affordable. Cozier and better equipped than its predecessor, the WFX2 EVO WP will likely soon become a gold standard in this category. Though its topside construction is mainly in nylon, it includes a large palm reinforcement in natural leather with an integrated soft protective slider at the hypothenar, guaranteeing a certain level of comfort at the controls. Its protection from the cold is better than ever, with the use of Primaloft® Silver thermal insulation on the topside and Primaloft® Gold on the palm. Weatherproofing and breathability are provided by the 5_DRYTECH™ membrane developed by FIVE. It’s glued to the palm, so it doesn’t budge and for better grip on the handlebars. In terms of safety, the new one-piece ERGO PROTECH® shell protects the topside of the hand. And we haven’t forgotten comfort, with the internal lining that touches your skin offering a truly delightful feeling of softness. What makes the WFX2 EVO WP stand apart is the real “state of the art” quality and enjoyment its construction offers. Though designed for wintertime urban and suburban use, it may very well take you much further, with features inspired by high-end road gloves.

WFX4 WP

Posted by david@ukiyo |

The weatherproof glove with a sporty look.

The WFX4 WP is our new entry-level offering and seeks to make the key features that make winter gloves effective in the city or on short rides, affordable and accessible to all (men, women, and children)…with quality fit as a bonus (the famous FIVE fit)! It features 170g 5_WARMTECH™ thermal insulation on the topside of the hand, which is lined with insulating foam on the palm side, to effectively protect your hand from the cold. And since it’s better to be prepared for humidity or rain, which are more common in winter, the WFX4 WP also has a waterproof, breathable 5_DRYTECH™ membrane, developed specifically by our R&D department for motorcycle use, which is also partially bonded to the palm for optimal grip on the handlebars and perfect fit. Its “no-leather” construction (topside construction in water-repellent Softshell fabric and the palm in Amara synthetic fiber) makes it a 100% vegan product, which should delight anyone who cares about animal welfare. Like its more advanced siblings, the WFX4 WP offers the latest-generation ERGO PROTECH® ergonomic shells, developed by FIVE, ensuring excellent protection without hindering your movements. Ultra-practical, the Touch Screen™ system on the index finger allows you to use your GPS or smartphone touchscreen without taking your gloves off. As a main pair for budget-conscious riders, or an extra pair to keep in your top case, the WFX4 WP is an interesting and affordable base product to help you keep riding your motorcycle or scooter in the winter. There’s no doubt about it: it’s the one to take out as soon as temperatures start to drop.
