Description
As a true custom enthusiast, you can enjoy taking your machine out in the cold season as soon as conditions allow, i.e. at the slightest ray of sunshine (it's much nicer...), but it's best to have the right equipment. FIVE has thought of all those who want to ride and protect themselves from the cold in style aboard a motorcycle with character, and has taken its inspiration from the flight jackets of the 1930s, when aviators needed warm, hard-wearing clothing to stay in the icy cockpit for hours on end. The Montana will seduce at first premier with the quality and suppleness of its resistant full-grain cowhide leather, specially selected and coated for a truly authentic look, covering the top of the hand as well as the palm. But what's even more impressive is the feeling of warmth and comfort you get when wearing it, thanks to the "sheep's wool-type" synthetic fur around the wrist and the fleece inner lining that covers the hand right down to the fingertips. There are two ways to wear Montana: rolled-up or unfolded. The rolled-up position, highlighting the "sheep's wool-type" lining, is secured by two snap fasteners. And simply unfold the cuff so that it covers or fits under the jacket, as you please... or in case of unexpected rain.
The Montana is not equipped with a waterproof membrane (this is not its vocation), but the sturdy waxed leather will usually suffice to protect you from a brief, light rain, just like an authentic aviator jacket. A great deal of attention has been paid to the deliberately " vintage " aesthetic of this model, as evidenced by the embossed pattern adorning the wide nubuck palm reinforcement, synonymous with durability and increased protection in the event of contact with the ground. The top of the hand is not to be outdone: the small gusset at wrist level and the three imposing stitching details accentuate its character. And when it comes to safety, the wrist closure will keep gant perfectly in place in the event of a fall. Whether you feel like Charles Lindbergh when he first crossed the Atlantic in his plane, Spirit of St Louis, or you're a simple custom enthusiast who likes to "cruise" in the fresh air, you're sure to appreciate Montana. If Lindbergh were flying today, he'd surely consider the Touch Screen™ system on the index finger and thumb, handy for manipulating a GPS without removing the gant, an ingenious invention... The Montana will offer its rider a look both unique and authentic, as well as cozy comfort, much appreciated in cold (and dry) weather on the handlebars of a classic machine.
