Held - Kakuda Sports Glove

Big-glove protection, short-glove feel

Don’t let the short cuff fool you — the Kakuda packs the kind of hardware you’d normally expect on a full racing gauntlet into a light, everyday sport glove. Hard plastic knuckle protectors and a generous SuperFabric® pad (backed by Armaprotec) on the palm and ball of the thumb bring serious impact and slide protection, while perforated goatskin panels and finger sidewalls keep things breathable enough for daily wear. It’s the glove for riders who want race-glove security without committing to a full gauntlet every time they swing a leg over the bike.

Available in men’s sizes 7–12, Held also makes long and short versions, so no matter how uniquely shaped your hand, Held’s got you covered.
