Five Urban WP, gloves waterproof

A new Five design made for urban use (as its name indicates), the Urban WP opts for a long, sleek cuff, to offer its rider maximum protection that can be worn either over or underneath your jacket’s sleeve. Here we present its weatherproof version, featuring a 5_Drytech™ membrane that allows you to use it when it rains.

Compared to short gloves, the Urban WP’s style confers a certain elegance and classic look. You’ll also feel truly safe, due to its topside one-piece PVC shell underneath the leather, along with its many other protective elements.

The accordion gusset on the wristband, coupled with a Velcro® adjustment tab, makes it easy to slip on and adjust to your hand. And finally, the Urban WP features the Touch Screen™ system, which allows you to activate your GPS or smartphone screens. It’s so practical not to have to take off your glove to make a call or find your way through the urban jungle.
