At first glance the waterproof Chill RTX motorcycle gloves by Macna don't really look like motorcycle gloves. Without external protectors or too many typical motorcycle characteristics they could easily pass for a pair of 'normal' winter gloves.
But they are not. ‘Ordinary', we mean. On the contrary. These motorcycle gloves are modern motorcycle gloves, that let you feel what you're holding. Although they have a pleasant, warm-touch lining, you are never in doubt when operating the motorcycle, and you're rarely looking for the handlebars. This is a winter glove that still allows you to do a bit of fine motoring. Ideal for - supplemented with handlebar heating - a lot of cold and very cold rides. And at the other extreme, when the days get longer and warmer, to last a long time too.
The waterproof element comes from the integrated Raintex (RTX) technology, and that integration means that the exterior of the Chill RTX is a combination of textile and leather. A little relief on the palm - grip! - is also the only unevenness in this motorcycle glove, which therefore excels mainly in smoothness and softness. Inside and out
The Chill RTX is developed up to the wrist, with a velcro strip as closure. The cuff is not very long (as in: halfway up your arm), so that's something to take into account. The Touch Tip - an extra conductive layer on the index finger - allows you to operate a smartphone or GPS. A lot is possible with the Chill RTX motorcycle gloves, if you ask us. By and for many types of motorcyclists and even more motorcycles.
If you are looking for a similar glove, but with a few more motorcycle elements, the Task RTX is an excellent choice.
