Held Evo-Thrux II Gloves – Our Verdict
While not as robust as full racing gloves (1), the Evo Thrux 2 provides ample protection for aggressive canyon carving or occasional track days.
The armor shields against bruising knocks without severely sacrificing flexibility. I’ve crashed in bulkier track gloves and broken fingers from hyperextension, so some pliability is welcome on the street.
The perforated fingers and knuckles offer ventilation to reduce sweating, and the overall ergonomic shape delivers a comfortable broken-in feel.
After evaluating their safety aspects, I believe Held designed the Evo Thrux 2 to excel in rough riding conditions.
The combination of goatskin, kangaroo leather, temper foam, and Super Fabric presents a versatile defense against abrasion, meaning they can withstand a slide without tearing.
Ultimately, the gloves provide reassuring insurance to push harder through corners, knowing my hands have ample coverage.
While not race-grade, I deem the Evo Thrux 2 properly equipped for attacking back roads yet comfortable enough for multi-hour sports touring.
