Product Information

Full details

The Halvarssons Butorp Touring Gloves are designed for adult male riders seeking reliable protection and comfort on long motorcycle journeys. Their key benefit is superior waterproofing and temperature regulation, ensuring dry and comfortable hands in various weather conditions. A potential caveat is the reliance on temperature differentials for optimal membrane performance, which can be affected by external heat sources like heated grips. These gloves offer a blend of water-repellent goat leather and textile, featuring advanced protective elements and temperature-controlling lining.

FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my Halvarssons Butorp gloves?

Measure the circumference of your palm at its widest point and your middle finger's length. Compare these measurements with the brand's sizing chart, which is usually available on the product page or manufacturer's website. A snug fit is recommended for optimal performance.

Can these gloves be used in very hot weather?

The OUTLAST® lining helps regulate temperature, making them suitable for a range of conditions. However, in extreme heat, the insulation might retain some warmth. For purely hot-weather riding, lighter, uninsulated gloves might be preferred, but the Butorp gloves offer good ventilation for a touring glove.

What is the difference between Dryway+ and Dryway+2.0?

Dryway+2.0 is Halvarssons' latest functional membrane, offering improved performance with a waterproofing value of 10,000 mm and a breathability value of 30,000 gr./m2/24 h, compared to older versions.

How often should I treat the leather parts of the gloves?

It's recommended to treat the leather parts with a suitable conditioner every few months, or more frequently if the gloves are exposed to harsh weather conditions, to maintain their suppleness and water-repellency.

Are these gloves suitable for winter riding?

Yes, with 120g of Innoborn® insulation and OUTLAST® temperature regulation, these gloves are well-suited for cold-weather touring, keeping hands warm and dry.

What does 'Level 1' protection refer to?

Level 1 refers to the standard of impact protection, typically for knuckles or armor. It signifies that the glove meets the minimum requirements set by European safety standards for motorcycle protective gear. Higher levels (e.g., Level 2) indicate greater impact absorption.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or restrictive

Allow for a break-in period of several rides. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. The leather and lining will adapt to your hand shape over time.

Hands feel cold despite insulation

Check if the membrane is functioning correctly. Ensure there are no significant external heat sources counteracting the membrane. Verify that the cuffs are properly sealed over or under your jacket sleeves to prevent drafts.

Touch screen functionality is inconsistent

Ensure the touch screen area of the glove is clean and dry. Some screen protectors or device coatings might affect sensitivity. Try a firmer tap.

Water seeping through seams

Inspect the seams for any damage. While the Dryway+2.0 membrane is waterproof, prolonged immersion or damage to stitching could allow water ingress. Contact customer support if damage is suspected.

Pros and Cons

  • Effective temperature regulation for all-season comfort.
  • Robust protection with knuckle guards and HI-ART reinforcement.
  • Durable and comfortable combination of goat leather and textile.
  • Practical touch screen compatibility.

Cons

  • Membrane efficiency can be reduced by external heat sources (e.g., heated grips).
  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Specific care instructions needed for maintaining leather and membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These gloves are designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and the effectiveness of the protective features.

Compatibility: The Halvarssons Butorp Touring Gloves are compatible with most motorcycle jackets. The touch screen technology works with most capacitive touch screens found on smartphones and GPS devices.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of the gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Drying: Always air dry the gloves away from direct heat sources like radiators or open flames. Drying them incorrectly can damage the leather and compromise the membrane.
  3. Leather Treatment: Periodically treat the leather parts with a suitable leather conditioner to keep them supple and water-repellent.
  4. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place when not in use.
