Five 'WFX District WP' Winter Gloves
Designed for exploring the city in the winter on an everyday basis with nice, warm hands, the WFX DISTRICT WP introduces an innovative concept in terms of construction and thermal insulation. Most winter gloves have been made the same way for ages. To put it simply: Thick thermal insulation over the top of the hand, and a finer layer on the palm, all the way up to between the fingers. And here was the weak spot of this traditional construction. The cold ends up getting inside through the fourchettes (which is what the area between the fingers is called). FIVE has reinvented the fundamentals of thermal insulation using a new type of construction called THERMO+, offering up to 20% greater heat retention, based on PRIMALOFT insulation, the very best in the field. The concept is quite simple: thick insulation on the topside extends down between the fingers, whereas the thinner insulation is limited to the (flat) base of the palm and fingers. This implies reconsidering all the other elements in the glove, such as the external structure or the weatherproof membrane, in order to maintain perfect suppleness overall and a firm grip on the controls. It's when you ride in the cold that you understand the point of this Thermo+ construction. The thicker, denser insulation in the fourchettes constitutes a much more effective thermal barrier and helps keep the hand's natural heat within the glove for longer. Beyond this innovation, the WFX DISTRICT WP stands out due to its composition that combines a supple, full-grain leather palm, topside construction in water-repellent Softshell fabric, and a ribbed cuff that keeps the warmth inside the glove. Supple and comfortable, it features all the elements that are common to FIVE gloves, with its ERGO PROTECH shells and its Touch Screen system. The WFX DISTRICT WP is made for riders who, persuaded by the ribbed cuff concept (which is well-proven for insulation from the cold), are looking for a discreet, high-performance glove to face the city and its dangers, which are heightened in the winter.
