They feel warm and padded when you slip them on but they are also excellently ventilated. A little rebellious is a good way to describe the Tobago motorcycle gloves. With a striking design best described as stylish camo (yes, it does exist) these summer motorcycle gloves are a true revelation.
The pleasant lining (100% mesh made from REPREVE® recycled fibre) makes us suspect this is not only a summer thing. Long after and long before, is what we think. The Tobago is versatile, although you wouldn’t want to expect waterproof properties from a motorcycle glove with this much 3D Mesh. Luckily, the Spandex, the Amara and the goatskin palm inspire more than enough confidence to take us quite far already without being too bothered by a couple of raindrops.
The combination of materials works wonders and even if you’re not a huge fan of anything resembling camo, you might want to consider the Tobago. They are sufficiently discreet to get away with it – the other qualities of the Tobago take care of the rest.
The most striking protective material is the solid knuckle protector. However, the most important part seems to be played by the reinforcements in the palm of the hand. Together, they imply top results. With a touchscreen sensitive fingertip you can effortlessly and without too many additional manoeuvres operate all the screens and smartphones near.
The Tobago is a light summer motorcycle glove with more than enough substance. That the cuff is just a little longer than ‘short’ and reaches to the wrist, is part of that. The Velcro strip helps keep everything in place. Oh and if the name of this motorcycle glove reminds you of Trinidad – you are not alone.
There is maintenance clothing and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
