Wolf Tec-Tour Outlast waterproof glove
There are many times you’ll read a motorcycle journalist say that they like a bit of kit. That a bit of kit is good. So-and-so kit really works. And you might think, yeah… but you say that a lot.
Now, elsewhere that might well be the case. But here, right here, on these pages, we don’t often praise stuff that highly.
I have set my stall out on this for a reason. I’m about to give a 10 out of 10. Yep. Spoiler alert.
The Wolf Tec-Tour Outlast waterproof glove is one of the best gloves I’ve ever used. And it’s less than £100 which – when compared to what else is on the market – is pretty sweet pricing.
First up, the feel. From the first moment I got these gloves it was clear that Wolf has really invested in the quality of the product. The XTR membrane is mated nicely to the softer parts of the glove, the carbon knuckle instills confidence in the protection levels (although I haven’t actually fallen off wearing these gloves yet), the zips and fastenings are top notch – I particularly like the double wrist closure and the zipped cuff adjuster.
The dual layer leather palm is comfortable and pliable right from the off, too.
I’ve ridden through some seriously horrendous weather in these gloves and they’ve proved themselves to be 100% waterproof and probably the most comfortable bits of kit I’ve ever used for several hours of riding at a time.
In fact, I like these gloves so much that they have replaced a much more expensive pair of Gore-Tex waterproof gloves that have lived in the bottom of my backpack for the past couple of years. That might not sound like a big deal but only the kit I REALLY like and NEVER lets me down lives in the bottom of my backpack ready to be called into use whenever I need it.
Yeah, these gloves are that good. So it’s 10 out of 10 for them. But you know that already.
