Riders Discount is now proud to offer the #1 pair of gloves on the market - the Held Titans. This is not a claim that we are not just throwing out there. It is backed by a large number of independent tests from all over the world. The Held Titans were designed to offer uncompromising safety, and this becomes very clear when you read the list of materials that went into the production of this glove - kangaroo leather, stingray leather, Kevlar, titanium, and carbon fiber. Held literally could not have built any more safety features into their flagship pair of gloves.
The first thing that nearly everyone notices on these gloves is the stingray leather (yes, real Stingray leather). The stingray leather found on to the major abrasion zones of this glove is something that you won't find on any gloves outside of the Held brand. Stingray leather is extremely abrasion resistant and it is actually slick, meaning that it will not grab or catch while sliding. Standard cowhide gloves can catch while sliding which results in injuries from the hand flipping. Newer riders tend to throw there hands out in front of themselves to break a fall and this instinctual reaction can lead to injuries. Held helps combat this by adding carbon fiber sliders below the base of the thumb and on the side of the hand below the pinky on the Titans to prevent this natural reaction from leading to a more serious injury. There is also a large piece of stingray leather along the base of the palm that is backed with shock absorbing gel padding. In addition to the exotic stingray protection, the Held Titans feature some more familiar materials as well.
The entire top of the gloves are lined in Kevlar from the opening of the gauntlet to the tips of the fingers but this is Held we're talking about, so you know they didn't stop there. The top of the hand is guarded by a Carbon-Aramid-Kohlehybrid shell that stops where the knuckle protection begins. The knuckles are guarded the knuckles are guarded by a titanium covered carbon fiber piece that is heated to just over 840 degrees F before being pressed into shape. Held also added shock absorbing padding for more comfort and extra protection. The amazing attention to detail that Held puts into the safety features carries over into all aspects of the Titan gloves.
Each Titan glove is made from 150 individual pieces and it takes around 90 minutes of sewing time to complete a single pair. This attention to detail means that you end up with a pair of gloves that is not only highly protective, but also very comfortable. Held's special step seams mean that you never have to worry about seams creating pressure points or interfering with the feel. Elasticated leather panels add to the comfort by making them flexible and giving them a broken in feel when brand new.

One feature that is new to Held is the connection between the ring and pinky finger. This prevents against dislocation of the pinky in the event of a fall. Not all riders love the feel of having fingers connected, but it is easy to cut between the two seems to release them if you choose.
Stingray leather is extremely abrasion resistant and very prominent on this glove. To give you an idea how strong Stingray leather is - using the same friction wheel, kangaroo leather is chafed through after only 4,000 revolutions whereas stingray leather was chafed through after 20,000 revolutions
The Held Titan uses a step seam to avoid pressure points and increase comfort and feel for the rider.
These gloves also feature a handy little shield squeegee on the left index finger for keeping your shield free of moisture.
