The way you ride certainly influences your gear choices, and likewise, the gear you put on for a certain ride should also influence the way you ride. Personally, when commuting around town, I do away with heavy gear in exchange for mesh apparel and riding sneakers. Of course, this means I need to be more mindful about getting spirited away when riding, as these lightweight items are definitely not as well-equipped to handle a slide or fall.
When it comes to spirited rides through the countryside or even days spent ripping it out on the track, it’s always best to have top-shelf protection from head to toe. Indeed, there are several options to choose from with nearly all gear manufacturers having performance-oriented model ranges. The same is true for French gear and equipment maker Furygan. As part of its summer riding gear collection, the brand has released the Higgins Evo gloves, an evolution of its performance-focused sportbike gloves designed to offer even better protection and comfort.
