Held Carry II Expandable Magnetic Tank Bag - Black Partner says it does the job and he is happy fitted to suzuki 1000
Held D3O T5 Evo Pro X - Hip Obtained some Held trousers but they didn’t come with hip protectors. Finding D30 quality, designed to fit and available at SBS made it an easy purchase. They go straight in the pockets and sit well.
Usual prompt despatch and great service too.
Held Biker Socks - Grey / Black Pricey, but when you use them more than acceptable, fit true to size
Held Sambia Pro Glove - Grey / Black Quality bit of gear, being able to order different finger length is a game changer
Held Score KTC Gore-Tex Glove - Black Great gloves and whats outstanding is with this product you can specify finger length
Held Vivione 2 Rear Bag Fits the bmw carrier ok but straps can slide open and also make it difficult to make firm fitting to carrier. Might change to velcro straps for better more secure fixing. Holds what I want for a day ride eg flask and a snack.
Held Tropic 4 Textile Mesh Jacket - Grey / Red The 2XL was a perfect fit for a 44 inch chest. It’s sufficiently loose around the torso and the arm length was perfect for me. I knew prior to purchase that the jacket doesn’t afford you the same protection as heavy duty kit. Having acquired heat exhaustion on a long ride to Scotland it was a compromise I was happy to make. It does what it says on the tin it allows you to stay cool relative to the temperature you’re riding in. The ghost armour in the elbows and shoulders was appreciated. The absence of back armour was disappointing although there is a pocket for it. I would have been happy to pay the extra for a perfect fit.
