operating the controls of the motorcycle. In addition, the gloves can
provide a certain degree of mechanical protection to the wearer’s hands
and wrists in the event of an accident. The particular hazards associated
with motorcycle accidents consist, on the one hand, of falling off the
motorcycle and, on the other hand, collisions with other vehicles or solid
objects at the roadside. In addition, mechanical forces and grazing as a
result of landing on the ground pose a risk of injury.
Please keep in mind that the entire body must be protected when
riding motorcycles, and that you should always wear the appropriate
equipment from head to toe (helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves and boots).
2.2 | Restrictions
These gloves do not protect against chemicals, extreme heat, naked
flames, extremely low temperatures or other risks and hazards that are
not mentioned in these instructions for use.
No personal protective equipment (PPE) can offer indefinite protection
against the risks associated with a fall or accident. No glove can prevent
hand injuries with one hundred percent certainty. Riding motorcycles is a
dangerous activity in general, and the use of this PPE cannot guarantee
that severe personal injuries will be prevented.
3 | How to use
3.1 | Choosing the correct gloves:
An overview of all available glove sizes can be found at the end of this
manual.
The gloves must be close-fitting, and all the fasteners securely fastened.
It is best to check the fit of the gloves by grasping the handlebars of
a motorcycle. The gloves should not feel uncomfortably tight on your
fingers, finger tips, back of your hand or palm, nor should they feel loose.
Your finger tips should not touch the end of the glove; however, there
should also not be so much space that grip is restricted. It must be
possible to operate all the controls without any difficulty.
3.2 | Fastening your gloves correctly
The gloves have either one or two hook-and-loop fasteners at the wrist
and/or cuff. These must be pulled as tight as possible without being
uncomfortable. You must not be able to pull the glove off without first
undoing the hook-and-loop fastener. The gloves should be worn over or
under the jacket sleeve in such a way that the sleeve and cuff overlap
and ideally cannot slide apart in the event of a fall.
(Please also check this when buying your jacket.)
