KTM AND HELD WILL DO IT FOR YOU

HELD CHIKARA GLOVES. HIGHLY CAPABLE Price – $185

Getting a glove that actually fits “like a glove” is not always the easiest thing to do, however I’ve now got three different pairs of Held gloves (Chikara, Sambia and Backfl ip) and all three of them “fit like a glove”. I was interested in the manufacturing process of Held gloves; what they apparently do is soak the leather so it can be stretched before cutting the individual pieces for sewing. There is at least an hour and a half of sewing in each pair of gloves, which goes some way towards explaining both the quality and the price! Attention to detail is another major factor in making a pair of Held gloves and I guess all of these processes are the reasons why I have found them to be so comfortable.
