Five WFX City Evo Long GTX Gloves

The Five WFX City EVO Gore-Tex Gloves, the long version. These are the ideal gloves 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 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 can understand the point of this Thermo+ construction. The thicker, denser insulation in the fourchettes constitues 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 holding 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 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.
