The Octavius consists of stretchy, breathable spandex and goat leather at the back of the hand. Goat leather and synthetic nubuck are used at the palm, and the cuff is made of soft, comfy neoprene. The fingertips are reinforced with an extra layer of leather. It is fitted with a tricot liner and the absence of a membrane makes is suited for hot riding conditions.
Both the knuckles and palm are well protected by our brand new Armax™ protectors. This construction leaves out the need for seams in critical areas, basically eliminating the weakest link, and thus greatly increasing your safety. The Armax™ palm protector is fitted onto an extra layer of synthetic nubuck that reinforces the palm.
Underneath the hard abrasion-resistant cover, we’ve fitted soft and comfy temper foam to maintain comfort and provide additional impact absorption. The thumb is fitted with EVA, which is rubber-like in its finish and flexibility and provides impact absorption. At the fingers you’ll find TPR protection with similar characteristics.
This glove features our Ergothumb™ construction, meaning the thumb and index finger are made of one and the same panel of fabric. This reduces seams and pressure points whilst also giving a wrinkle-free look. Heat-conductive fabric is fitted at the tips of the index fingers. Thanks to the Touch Tip, you’ll be able to operate touch screens without taking your gloves off.
