MODEKA Hot Classic II Black

The glove type indicates the riding conditions and seasons the motorcycle glove is designed for. It takes into account waterproofing, insulation, ventilation and, in some cases, active heating.

• Gore-Tex: waterproof gloves using a Gore-Tex membrane, combining rain protection with good breathability.
• Race: sport-oriented gloves focused on protection and direct handlebar feel. They are usually not waterproof and intended for sporty riding or track use.
• Mid-season: waterproof gloves with lighter insulation, suitable for cooler spring and autumn conditions.
• Heated: waterproof gloves equipped with an integrated heating system. Heat is generated by an internal heating wire powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery.
• Winter: waterproof gloves with strong insulation against cold temperatures. They are generally thicker to provide maximum warmth during winter riding.
• Summer: lightweight, non-waterproof gloves with ventilating properties, designed for warm and dry weather.

This specification indicates the gender or target group the glove is designed for. The fit and sizing are tailored to the wearer’s anatomy, contributing to comfort and control while riding.

• Men: designed with a fit and sizing adapted to the male hand.
• Women: tailored to the female hand, usually with a slimmer fit.
• Kids: specifically developed for children’s hands, with adapted sizing and comfort.

The water resistance of motorcycle gloves determines how well they protect against rain and moisture while riding. This protection is achieved by integrating a waterproof membrane into the glove.

• Non-waterproof: these gloves do not contain a membrane and are intended for dry and warm conditions. They offer maximum ventilation but no protection against rain.
• Waterproof: these gloves feature a waterproof membrane that keeps rain out while allowing moisture from inside the glove to escape. They are suitable for changing weather conditions.
• Gore-Tex waterproof: these gloves use a Gore-Tex membrane. They are listed separately because some riders specifically look for the proven waterproof and breathable performance of Gore-Tex.

The lining refers to the inner finish of the motorcycle glove and has a significant impact on wearing comfort. It provides a pleasant feel against the skin and helps regulate heat and moisture while riding.

Gloves equipped with a waterproof membrane, such as Gore-Tex, are always lined. Leather or highly ventilated gloves without a membrane are usually unlined, allowing for a more direct feel and maximum airflow.

The safety certification indicates whether motorcycle gloves have been tested and approved according to a recognized European standard. This standard evaluates aspects such as abrasion resistance, tear strength and impact protection.

• EN 13594:2015 Level 1: these gloves comply with the European safety standard for motorcycle gloves. Level 1 provides basic protection suitable for regular use on public roads.
• None: these gloves do not have official certification according to EN 13594:2015. They offer comfort and weather protection but have not been tested against this specific safety standard.

Knuckle protection refers to the protective elements located over the knuckles on motorcycle gloves. This area is particularly vulnerable in the event of a fall or impact and is therefore reinforced.

Depending on the model, knuckle protection can consist of softer, flexible materials or more rigid protectors. Softer solutions improve comfort and freedom of movement, while more rigid knuckle protection offers a higher level of impact protection. The chosen design is always matched to the intended use of the glove.

Ventilation indicates how much airflow motorcycle gloves allow while riding. This directly affects comfort, especially in warmer conditions.

• Perforated: these gloves feature perforated leather or textile, allowing direct airflow. They offer maximum ventilation but are not waterproof.
• Ventilated: these gloves use breathable materials or ventilation zones to promote airflow without being fully open.
• Non-ventilated: these gloves allow little to no airflow and are intended for cooler or wet conditions.

Touch tip indicates whether motorcycle gloves allow the use of touchscreens without removing the gloves.

• With touch tip: these gloves feature special material on the fingertips, allowing a smartphone, navigation system or other touchscreen device to be operated without taking off the gloves.
• Without touch tip: these gloves do not have touchscreen-compatible fingertips. The glove must be removed to operate a touchscreen.

A visor wiper is a smart, integrated feature on motorcycle gloves, usually in the form of a soft rubber strip along the length of the left index finger. It allows you to quickly and efficiently clean your helmet visor in rain or bad weather without removing the glove. Some versions use a moisture- and dirt-absorbing fabric instead of rubber; this textile strip soaks up water and dirt, cleaning the visor gently and streak-free for optimal visibility in all conditions.

Color indicates the colors present on the motorcycle gloves. Some models combine multiple colors; each color is listed separately when it is clearly visible.

Gloves can combine multiple colors, for example black-red or black-gray-yellow, depending on the design.

The material on the back of the hand affects both protection and comfort of the motorcycle glove. Depending on the material, gloves can be more durable, flexible, or breathable.

• Artificial leather: synthetic material that is durable and easy to maintain. Provides good protection and flexibility.
• Leather: natural material with excellent wear resistance and comfort. Commonly used in sport and touring gloves.
• Microfibre: very fine synthetic material that is supple and breathable.
• Softshell: flexible material that can be wind- and water-resistant, offering comfort during movement.
• Textile: lightweight and breathable material, often used in summer or ventilated gloves.

The material on the palm affects grip, durability, and comfort of the motorcycle glove. Depending on the material, the glove can feel more robust or provide better contact with the handlebars.

• Artificial leather: synthetic material that is durable and provides good grip. Easy to maintain.
• Leather: natural material with excellent wear resistance and comfort, giving optimal handlebar feel.
• Microfibre: very fine synthetic material that is supple and breathable, ideal for comfort and flexibility.
• Softshell: flexible material that provides protection and can be wind- and water-resistant.
• Textile: lightweight and breathable material, often used in summer or ventilated gloves.

The handback material protects the top of the hand from impact, wind, cold, and abrasion, while maintaining comfort, ventilation, and flexibility. Depending on the type of glove, materials such as leather, goat leather, textile, softshell, mesh, or other synthetic fabrics are used. The handback combines protection with flexibility and breathability, ensuring the glove remains comfortable and provides optimal handlebar control in all weather conditions.

The palm material determines grip, durability, and handlebar feel. Depending on the type of glove, materials such as leather, goat leather, microfiber, textile, synthetic suede, or Amara are used. The palm provides an optimal balance of protection, comfort, and handlebar control, making the glove suitable for all weather conditions and riding styles.

Summer gloves are designed for warm conditions and therefore do not include a membrane. The absence of a membrane allows maximum ventilation, letting moisture escape easily and keeping hands cool and comfortable during hot rides.

The lining in a motorcycle glove is an internal layer that affects comfort, insulation, and sometimes protection. Depending on the type of glove, the lining may be absent (as in some racing gloves) or consist of thin or thick layers of materials such as polyester, aramid, microfiber, Thinsulate, Primaloft, or other insulating fabrics. The lining ensures the glove is comfortable, keeps hands protected from cold, and allows moisture to escape, keeping the glove pleasant to wear in all weather conditions.
