ROECKL VILSECK Winter Cycling Gloves

From the EXTRA WARM segment of ROECKL SPORTS come the ergonomically cut VILSECK winter cycling gloves for the roads and trails. The inner lining made from highly functional European LAVALAN new wool provides the EXTRA WARM factor. The wool is very breathable, dries quickly and keeps you warm even when damp. The back of the hand is made from the windproof, water-resistant and highly breathable ROECK-PROOF ECO DENALI softshell material.
The palm made of elasticated, micro-perforated MICRO-AIR fabric offers you a non-slip, tactile grip on the handlebars and ensures a pleasant climate in the glove thanks to optimum air circulation.
The VILSECK also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of comfort: The ERGONOMIC CUT palm design meets soft foam padding on the palm and the clever COMFORT INNOVATION padding in the crook of the thumb.

Highlights & Technologies:

ROECK-PROOF ECO DENALI:
The windproof and water-repellent softshell 3-layer laminate is made from 87% recycled polyester and has been given a water-repellent finish without PFCs that are hard to degrade. As the outer fabric is made from 13% elastane, it offers high elasticity for perfectly fitting products. In addition, the material is highly breathable and has a smooth, soft touch front as well as a pleasantly warm, soft fleece on the back.

PFC-ZERO:
PFC is a group of chemicals acting as intermediates, auxiliary materials or breakdown products of certain fluorocarbon compounds. They are used in garment production to impregnate clothing due to their durable water- and grease-repellent properties. However, PFC residues are non-biodegradable and may be harmful. The product’s water- and dirt-repellent finish is free of PFC.

MICRO-AIR:
Pleasantly light, grippy and thin material. MICRO-AIR has micro perforations for high breathability.

LAVALAN:
The functional padding consists largely of European virgin wool. The wool in the product is traceable and comes from farms in Europe that rely on a regional supply chain and species-appropriate animal husbandry, without any mulesing. Biodegradable fibres (polyactide, PLA) made from renewable raw materials are used to reinforce the wool. The proportion of PLA used varies depending on the area of application of the padding: lavalan – the wool insulation.
The wool can absorb and release moisture and is naturally water-repellent at the same time. LAVALAN is very breathable, dries quickly and keeps you warm even when damp. As wool has a temperature-regulating effect, it also has a cooling effect and thus protects against overheating. Regardless of the intensity of activity and temperature fluctuations, it always ensures a pleasant, cosy warmth.

MULESING:
Mulesing is a widespread surgical procedure in Australia, practised in sheep farming for the production of wool. In this procedure, the sensitive skin on the hindquarters of lambs, which has many wrinkles due to breeding, is cut off with a sharp knife and usually without anaesthesia.
The wool for this product comes from sheep that have not been subjected to mulesing, thus setting an example against the torturous procedure.

COMFORT INNOVATION:
For extra comfort, Roeckl has equipped the sensitive crook of the thumb, which is particularly stressed when cycling, with a seamless COMFORT-INNOVATION padding.

ERGONOMIC CUT:
The sensitive nerves running through the carpus are subject to strong, punctual pressure in most hand positions when cycling. The ERGONOMIC CUT developed by ROECKL provides targeted relief for the sensitive hand nerves and thus effectively prevents pressure. The anatomic palm padding provides much more comfort on the handlebar.

TOUCHSCREEN COMPATIBLE:
Index and thumb of both gloves are made from a special leather or textile fabric, allowing you to operate smartphones, tablets and other touchscreen devices.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
