Made by bikers for bikers

What began as a small glove-making business back in 1946 is now one of Germany's largest motorcycle clothing and accessory firms. Ever since they developed the first out-and-out racing glove for Toni Mang, back in 1983, Held has rightly been regarded as THE glove brand. Continuous development and innovation coupled with top-quality craftsmanship have built an excellent reputation. And one that has long since extended far beyond gloves: textile and leather clothing, helmets, tank bags and saddlebags are just a few of the products from the Allgäu-based family firm creating a sensation around the biking world.

ISO 4916 safety seam
Motorcycle clothing should offer you the best possible protection if you take a tumble.
If you slide across a rough asphalt surface, an abrasion-resistant outer fabric only helps as long as the seams can take the strain. This is why the safety-critical seams on many Louis products are manufactured according to the ISO 4916 standard, that is to say with a visible and a concealed seam. This means that the material will still hold together if the visible seam is torn open by friction.

Most traditional, high-quality outer material with cult status for motorcycle clothing and accessories. Unmistakable in its natural, high-quality look, the strong image, ideally suited to both figure-hugging and highly functional designs. The biker's "second skin" still has the edge over any textile material when it comes to safety and resistance to abrasion and tearing. The way the material stretches as the clothing is worn means that leather clothing adapts to the body contours ideally, thus also guaranteeing that protectors fit optimally. Leather clothing should therefore always be bought with a close fit. Impregnation, leather oil and surface coatings guarantee good weather protection and a degree of rainproofing, but unfortunately also limit the breathability. Relatively heavy, but enthusiasts value this as a "quality feature". Looked after properly, it is very durable. Because leather does not itself offer much thermal insulation, the other features of the garment, or the base layers of clothing, must provide some help here.

This clothing has a connecting zip.

The ScotchgardTM protector is a treatment to enhance fibres and leather. Our leather products treated with Scotchgard repel oil, water and dirt. The natural texture and breathability of the leather are retained.

As everybody knows, dark leathers get very hot - but not leather with the special TFL Cool System. This leather is treated in a special tanning process that makes it reflect sunlight just like light-coloured leathers. The temperature on the surface of the leather drops by as much as 20°C, and in direct sunlight, there is a temperature difference of up to 12°C. TFL Cool leather has improved lightfastness and it still looks great after many years.
The leather should only be treated with colourless care products, since pigments and dyes could inactivate the COOL LEATHER effect. In addition, the leather should be waterproofed from time to time. Given proper care, the Cool effect should last a lifetime.
