Luggage for Xmas!

Held luggage has recently been awarded 'Best Brand 2011' from Motorrad Magazine (Europe's biggest selling biking title) and 'Best Buy' from the UK's best respected 'testing' magazine, RiDE.

Award winning luggage, reasonable prices- Great Xmas idea!!

Let's have a look why we've done well:

25 years of experience in the production of magnetically-fixed tank bags inspires confidence.

Held had considerable influence on the development of the modern tank bag, and have the patents and samples to prove it.
  •     strong shatter-proof magnets
  •     anti-slip under-surface for more adhesive power
  •     base plates which double as map bags
  •     2-piece tank bags with a sloping profile for maximum comfort
  •     development of magnetic base plates for flatand curved tanks
  •     steering-head straps for security at high speed
  •     new and only from HELD – tank bags secured with Velcro and security straps, for plastic and alloy tanks
  •     the first TÜV-tested tank bag, for your safety and comfort

'Real World' User review: Held 'Warm n Dry' Gloves

We convinced Michael Braybrook he should let us know how he got on with his new Held 'Warm n Dry Gloves'.

We can rattle on and show you all the promotional material in the world- but it's how the gear performs in the 'real world' that matters!



Held Warm n Dry Gloves. Warm, and, erm, dry...


Here's what Michael had to say:

"Well then... certainly a wet ride up north, and a cold ride back south but... not a drop of water got through the gloves.

Even when my other wet weather gear started to fail and fill with water the gloves didn't miss a beat. About an hour in hands started to get a little chilly but it was COLD and they're not full on winter gloves. Ride back south was even colder (but at least dryer) and the gloves did a great job on wind protection and keeping my hands warm. Finger tips started to get chilly but sticking the heated grips on helped quite a bit.

I'd just like to also add, the visor-wipe may be the greatest addition to gloves since fingers! Couldn't see a thing with the amount of spray without it.

I think the name says it all, 'Warm n Dry'. If you're after a full on winter glove go with something like the Held 'Freezer', but if you're after a glove that will keep your hands dry and warm in cooler temps, I can't recommend these enough".



Thank you Michael! We're encouraging more of you to let us know how your Held Gear is getting on in the 'real world'. Be sure to check back for more!
