Leather riding apparel is not necessarily incompatible with the summer riding season, even though we might tend to choose mesh and textile clothing, thanks to their lightweight, breathable nature. Indeed, gear and equipment manufacturers have come a long way in integrating good old leather with a bunch of modern materials, making them more breathable while retaining their timeless look.
In line with this, Italian gear and apparel manufacturer Spidi has launched a new pair of sporty street riding glovs called the NKD, as part of its 2022 collection. The NKD glove is made from 0.6 to 0.8 mm thick goat leather. It features perforations in key areas, such as on top and in between the fingers, to allow ventilation and breathability. From a stylistic perspective, the NKD employs a sporty construction, making it ideal for road-going sportbike or naked bike riders as a simple all-around glove.
