Motorcykelhandsker, -beklædning og meget mere

Hvad startede som et lille handskeværksted i 1946, er i dag en af de største virksomheder for motorcykelbeklædning i Tyskland. Siden Held udviklede den første specielle racerhandske til Toni Mang i 1983, er Held blevet betragtet som MÆRKET inden for handsker. Konstante videreudviklinger og banebrydende innovationer koblet med bedste håndværksmæssige forarbejdningskvalitet har udbygget dette fremragende ry endnu mere. Og det stopper ikke ved handskerne: Også med deres tekstil- og læderbeklædning, hjelme, tanktasker, saddeltasker og meget mere skaber familievirksomheden fra Algäu furore verden over.

SuperFabric brand technology er en højtudviklet fremstillingsproces i flere trin, hvormed almindelige tekstilmaterialer kan forvandles til mange individuelle, beskyttende slutprodukter. De er generelt kendt som SuperFabric brand materials.
SuperFabric brand materials er udviklet til både at yde en optimal modstand mod snit, indstik og gnidning og byde på en høj fleksibilitet. Valgfri egenskaber som resistens mod ild, specielt grip og mere gør dette materiale til en løsning, som er tilpasset til kundebehovet.

Sold under various brand names (Gore-Tex, Reissa, Tepor, Sympatex, Hipora, Porell, Helsapor, Enprotex, Nibo, Humax, Drygate etc.). Gore-Tex and Sympatex have patent protection. One thing all these membranes have in common is their basic function: exploiting a temperature gradient, perspiration is transported from the inside to the outside, yet wind and rain cannot get in. This effect makes both fabric and leather clothing highly weatherproof, and also very comfortable to wear. The membranes are manufactured from different base materials, depending on the brand, and are made either as a loose "liner", as a laminate (bonded to the outer material), or as a coating on a carrier material. The first product of this kind, the "Gore-Tex" membrane made of Teflon, fulfils its function due to its very fine pores, which allow moisture from the skin to move outwards, but prevent the larger raindrops from moving inwards. Gore-Tex is indeed highly effective, but the patented material comes at a price. All the other membranes consist of polyurethane or polyester, and transport water vapour molecules outwards by means of chemical reactions. Different materials have been adapted to the various applications in the field of motorcycle clothing. All of these climate membranes are sensitive to mechanical damage: if a membrane is pierced, clearly it can no longer provide protection. Damage can also result from the use of inappropriate washing agents. Softeners, including those contained in detergents, damage the membrane irreparably!
