Held Warm N Dry Gore-tex Gloves

Riding in inclimate weather can be a miserable experience if you don’t have the proper gear, and Held is a company that is no stranger to producing proper riding gear. Their Titans and Phantoms have long been some of our favorite gloves for the track, and when it comes to cold, wet weather, their Warm N Dry gloves are another superb offering from the German brand.

The Warm N Dry gloves do just what their name suggests, which is to keep your hands warm and dry. Weather protection is provided by a Gore-Tex membrane that keeps both wind and water from getting to your hands. The great thing about Gore-Tex is that it combines its wind and waterproof properties with outstanding breathability in order to prevent any sweat or moisture from getting trapped against your hand. Inside the glove, a Gore-Tex Thermoplush liner provides a surprising amount of warmth and insulation for how light and comfortable it is. The liner is also sewn securely into place so that it won’t pull out with your hand.

Held used a combination of cowhide, goatskin, and textiles to insure that the Warm N Dry not only keep your hands isolated from the weather, but also keep them well-protected in general. The palm is made of durable, yet supple goatskin in order to give better control, and to allow those with heated grips to feel the warmth. A padded material called Superfabric reinforces the heel of the palm and provides a great deal of abrasion resistance. The top of the hand features multiple layers of durable textile, as well as a leather covered, hard knuckle protector.

With their combination of weatherproofing, lightweight insulation, breathability and protection, the Held Warm N Dry gloves are an excellent choice for riding in all but the warmest of conditions.

The upper portion of the gloves combine cowhide, textile, and a hard knuckle protector for superior protection from both the elements and impacts.


A tough, yet supple goatskin palm provides excellent feel, and Superfabric reinforcements add even more durability.


A velcro wrist closure helps provide a secure fit and has a low enough profile to wear them under the sleeves of a jacket.
