GORE-TEX® X-TRAFITTM Get a Good Grip on Everything!
W.L. Gore & Associates is renowned as a specialist for the manufacture of highly functional, breathable, windblocking and water-repellent membranes for motorcycle gloves. Now these attributes have been further improved with GORE-TEX® X-TRAFITTM technology, a revolutionary technique that ensures a sensitive grip feeling and optimal comfort for the hands.
The Challenge
Motorcyclists demand a lot from their bodies, and especially from their hands. A biker's hands have to steer, clutch, brake and simultaneously give the engine exactly the right amount of throttle. That's why good motorcycle gloves must satisfy rigorous requirements. They must protect the biker from injuries and damage to the joints. They must remain lastingly breathable in the summer and watertight in the rain. And they must be very comfortable to wear. But until now, a glove that could satisfy all of these criteria always posed another problem: it signifi cantly reduced a biker's feel for the motorcycle. Now Gore has found a way to solve this problem. The solution is called GORE-TEX® X-TRAFITTM technology.Eine Pore der Membrane ist etwa 700 mal größer als ein Wasserdampf- molekül. Dadurch kann Körper- feuchtigkeit in Form von Wasserdampf nach außen entweichen. (pro cm2 hat die Membrane rund 1,4 Milliarden Poren.)
The Innovation
Many watertight motorcycle gloves are made of four layers: a sturdy outer material; an insulating layer; a watertight layer and a lining material. The robust new membrane used in the GORE-TEX® X-TRAFITTM technology makes it possible to eliminate two layers. Furthermore, all remaining layers are laminated to one another using a special three-dimensional process. Gore developed a new thermal adhesive with a netlike structure so that it doesn't reduce the glove's breathability. These gloves achieve unprecedented excellence in fi t, comfort and toughness. Motorcyclists feel as though they're wearing single-layer gloves that could easily grasp even the smallest objects. This ensures excellent level of tactility and ergonomic comfort. Put those two together and you get perfect control over your bike in every situation.
