Men's & Women's TRS Glove

Men's Launch Glove

These light weight, durable gloves are perfect for most riding conditions.  They are thick enough to keep your hands warm, but thin enough to allow for the ultimate range of movement and allow for your hands to breathe while riding.  The Launch glove features neoprene padded flex panels on the fingers and knuckles, double layered micro fiber palm, silicone treated fingers for increased grip, easy pull on tab and pre-curved fingers and palm.  They also have light weight insulation, Velcro adjustable wrist closure and a neoprene padded wrist gauntlet.  The thinner insulation allows for more warmth transfer from your hand warmers but still keeps your hands warm while you are not driving.  These gloves are perfect for a wide range of riding conditions and are a perfect fit for the trail rider.

This could be the ultimate balaclava!  With a DuPont CoolMax layer on the face and top of the head and dynamic 4-way flex windskirt made with Ven-Tex windproof membrane and soft micro-fleece lining, this balaclava will keep you both warm and dry.  The extra long neck protects you from wind that can get through the seams of other gear to ensure a long and enjoyable day of riding.  This balaclava is machine washable and comes in one size.

Men's Barrier Boot

If you are looking for an easy on, easy off boot these are the ones for you!  Featuring the Castle Quick Connect buckle system with snow shield, you can have these boots on and off in a jiffy and without sacrificing the thermal performance and waterproof features of other designs.  These boots have a 3-layer Merino Wool blend insulation with wicking air mesh and perforated air trap foam as well as a rubber sole, snow shield gaiter with bungee cord lock and replacement insoles available.  The boot sizes are true to shoe sizes and still allowing for layering without becoming restrictive.
