This all-rounder is protective, good-looking, and damn affordable a Gore-Tex motorcycle glove. And it’s not for want of features—the Vanguard GTX come with e-touch fingertips, a visor wiper built into the left-hand index finger, and both knuckle and palm protectors.

The leather KLIM Vanguard GTX gloves feature Gore-Glove technology—a waterproof/breathable membrane that’s bonded to the glove’s shell that won’t pull out when you take the gloves off.

A YKK locking zipper make it easy to get in and out of these all-day, four-season gloves. Like all KLIM gear, they’re light on insulation. If you want to run them all winter, pick up a silk glove liner. But as-is, expect these gloves to perform beautifully in spring and fall weather.

They offer protection (from the elements, and the pavement) usually found in full gauntlet battle gloves—but in a package that’s zips up tight and fits *under* the cuff of almost any jacket.
