French gear and equipment maker Ubike has released a new pair of gloves for riders who wish to keep riding all through the winter. As someone who's ridden in all sorts of weather, I know just how important having a warm pair of gloves is in keeping you in control of your motorbike. When paired with a thermal waterproof jacket, pants, and boots, you're sure to be riding all the way 'til spring.
Ubike's newest winter gloves are called the Ural, and apart from sharing a name with the world's most iconic sidecar, represent the Ural Mountains in Russia, which are known to have a particularly frigid climate, with winter lasting longer than summer. As such, Ubike's Ural gloves certainly have a big name to live up to. For starters, the gloves are constructed out of cowhide leather panels on the palm and upper portion. Meanwhile, the rest of the glove is made out of thermal, water-repellent, and abrasion-resistant softshell fabric.
