Held - Wave 2 GORE-TEX Gloves

Ultra-light waterproofing for riders who hate bulky gloves

The Wave 2 is built for riders who want genuine GORE-TEX® waterproofing without the heft of a full winter glove. A stretch-fabric-and-leather back keeps things light, a goatskin palm holds the grip, and Gore Grip technology bonds the membrane to the glove so wet weather doesn’t cost you bar feel. It’s worth knowing upfront: the Wave 2 uses padded foam at the knuckles rather than a dedicated hard knuckle shell, so it’s best suited to touring and commuting rather than aggressive sport riding.

Available in men’s and women’s sizes 7–12.

Protection

• CE Certified under standard EN 13594:2015 for “protective gloves for motorcycle riders”
• Reinforced side of hand for abrasion resistance
• Knuckles and finger knuckles padded with foam (no dedicated hard knuckle shell)

• Every spec bullet across all five batches was sourced from Held’s own shop.held.de listings first, cross-checked against 2–5 retailers each (RevZilla-style listings, ChromeBurner, motorcyclegear.com, motoin.de, and others). Headlines and intro paragraphs are original creative copy in your established voice.
• A handful of gloves (Backflip, Emotion Evo, Bilbao WP, Fresco II, Rodney II, Satu II/KTC, Wave 2, Tactura) use foam or padded knuckle protection rather than a hard shell — flagged explicitly in each case rather than upgraded for punchier copy.
• Titan XR2 is the only glove in the lineup certified to Level 2 (vs. Level 1 for everything else) — worth highlighting on the product page if it isn’t already, since it’s a genuine differentiator.
• A few models (Ice Queen II, Polar 3 women’s, etc.) have gender-specific sizing quirks — worth a final size-chart pass before publishing since Held’s own EU/US size numbering doesn’t always match one-to-one.
