Klim Vanguard GTX Long Gloves

Klim Vanguard GTX Long Glove Gen 2

The Klim Vanguard GTX Long Glove is a waterproof touring glove for cool to cold and wet conditions. Unlike the Badlands GTX Long, the Vanguard is more geared toward traditional touring riders with an upright riding position and features a slim gauntlet designed to be worn under the jacket sleeve.

GORE-TEX with GORE Grip, targeted 60 g Thinsulate insulation on the back of the hand, and a relatively slim palm combine weather protection and warmth with a good grip feel.

WEATHER PROTECTION

The GORE-TEX membrane reliably protects against rain while remaining breathable. GORE Grip bonds the individual glove layers together, improving direct feel on the handlebars.

The insulation is strategically placed on the back of the hand to provide warmth without making the palm unnecessarily thicker.

COMFORT

The low-profile neoprene gauntlet was specifically designed to fit easily under the sleeve of a motorcycle jacket. A low-profile hook-and-loop adjustment and elastic cuff provide a secure fit.

The inner Glide panel makes putting the gloves on easier, especially when your hands or the glove are damp from wet weather.

CONCLUSION

The Vanguard GTX Long Glove is particularly appealing to touring riders who ride in cool, cold, and rainy weather and prefer to wear their gloves under the jacket sleeve. It combines GORE-TEX weather protection and lightweight insulation with a slim, touring-oriented construction.
