Held Fresco II Short 2453 Gloves
Fresco II, the lightweight touring glove from Held, with TFL COOL technology, is also available in a short version. In this case, short means that the fingers are 0.5 cm shorter than with the "normal" Frescos. But that's the only difference. Held Fresco II is the worthy successor to the popular first generation of Held Fresco gloves. As a genuine summer glove, Fresco II is unlined and offers superb tactile grip.
Lightweight knuckle padding and keprotec from schoeller on the ball of the thumb provide the necessary protection features. Just the right choice for the summer.

Good to know:
Leather with TFL Cool technology reflects the sunlight much more effectively than normal leather. So it stays cooler, which enhances the wearing comfort considerably with jackets, trousers and gloves. The temperature difference compared with normal leather can be as much as 12Β°C. That means you can relax as you ride into the sun ...
Made by bikers for bikers
What began as a small glove-making business back in 1946 is now one of Germany's largest motorcycle clothing and accessory firms. Ever since they developed the first out-and-out racing glove for Toni Mang, back in 1983, Held has rightly been regarded as THE glove brand. Continuous development and innovation coupled with top-quality craftsmanship have built an excellent reputation. And one that has long since extended far beyond gloves: textile and leather clothing, helmets, tank bags and saddlebags are just a few of the products from the AllgΓ€u-based family firm creating a sensation around the biking world.
Kangaroo leather
There are around 48 different species of kangaroo, some of which are protected. However, the population of the huge Macropus giganteus kangaroo has grown so rapidly that it has become a real pest. This is why it is permitted to shoot this animal with a trapper's licence from the Australian government and to export it subject to the terms of the Washington Convention on endangered species (CITES).
A special dying technique ensures that our kangaroo leather is absolutely colour-fast, while a special tanning process makes it highly resistant to moisture and sweat.
Normal leather becomes hard and brittle and shrinks when exposed to the wet, and in particular to perspiration. Kangaroos do not sweat through their skin, but only under their tail and on their tongue. So the surface of a kangaroo skin has no pores, and this also affects the fibre structure. While the fibre structure of cowhide becomes slightly looser when subjected to stress, it remains more tight-knit in kangaroo leather.
Very high-quality blended fabric of Cordura and Kevlar for reinforcing impact points. Offers very good protection against heat and friction. A polyurethane coating guarantees resistance to weather. Rough, textured look.
As everybody knows, dark leathers get very hot - but not leather with the special TFL Cool System. This leather is treated in a special tanning process that makes it reflect sunlight just like light-coloured leathers. The temperature on the surface of the leather drops by as much as 20Β°C, and in direct sunlight, there is a temperature difference of up to 12Β°C. TFL Cool leather has improved lightfastness and it still looks great after many years.
The leather should only be treated with colourless care products, since pigments and dyes could inactivate the COOL LEATHER effect. In addition, the leather should be waterproofed from time to time. Given proper care, the Cool effect should last a lifetime.
