Vintage Aesthetic, All-Weather Performance

The Five Kansas WP Gloves are engineered for riders who want to maintain a vintage or neo-retro aesthetic regardless of the forecast. Based on the popular Kansas chassis, this version integrates a 5_DRYTECH membrane to provide a waterproof and breathable barrier against the elements. The entire glove is constructed from premium goat leather, ensuring a soft feel from the first ride while providing high levels of abrasion resistance.

Key Features

• Full-Grain Goat Leather: Topside and palm construction provides superior suppleness and long-term durability.
• 5_DRYTECH Membrane: An internal weatherproof and breathable barrier designed to keep hands dry in rainy conditions.
• PVC Metacarpal Protection: A one-piece protective shell positioned underneath the leather for a low-profile look with high-impact safety.
• External Finger Stitching: Finger seams are located on the exterior to eliminate pressure points and optimise internal comfort.
• Zipper and Velcro® Closure: Dual adjustment system featuring a zipper and a Velcro® flap for a secure, customised fit around the wrist.
• Accordion Comfort Gussets: Leather stretch panels on the fingers and thumb allow for natural movement and unhindered control operation.
• Hypothenar Reinforcement: A dedicated panel of goat leather and memory foam protects the palm base and includes an embossed logo.
• Touch Screen Compatibility: Integrated system on the index fingers allows for the operation of smartphones and GPS units without removing gloves.

Weatherproof Versatility & Protection

Engineered for mid-season transitions, the Kansas WP maintains the classic silhouette of a custom leather glove while integrating modern protective technologies. The use of goat leather ensures the glove breaks in quickly, while the internal comfort lining and elasticated wristband provide a snug, fatigue-free fit for daily commuting. By hiding the hard knuckle protection beneath the leather, Five delivers a glove that looks traditional but performs to modern safety standards.
