Popular German motorcycle gear and equiment maker Held started life as a small glove-making business in 1946. It subsequently transformed itself into one of the popular gear manufacturers in Germany, after developing a racing glove for renowned German racer Toni Mang in 1983. Since then, the brand has gone well beyond making gloves, and pretty much makes all apparel items ranging from helmets, gloves,jackets, pants, and boots.
Held's most recent innovation comes to us in the form of the Jakata and Zeffiro 3.0, a combination of jacket and pants, sold separately, and designed to keep riders feeling cool and fresh during the summer months. Of course, summer months mean that it's the perfect time to go out for a ride. However, the ill effects of dehydration and prolonged heat exposure can creep up on you like a thief in the night. Instead of compromising your safety by forgoing certain pieces of gear, Held wants you to suit up with a full set of gear, while retaining the comfort and breathability you need to stay comfy.
