Glove for Motor Cycling
GP-EVO.R
GP-EVO.R is a motorcycle glove with modern safety functions. Inspired by the traditional Japanese warrior armour called “ō-yoroi”, the hard, resin-formed protector was applied to the otherwise soft glove in 3D printing, thus ensuring ergonomic functionality. In the event of a fall, the protector reduces the frictional resistance against the road surface; it also lessens the impact energy and prevents hand injuries. The combination of natural leather and elastic aramid fibre makes the glove comfortable and offers freedom of movement.
