ROECKL RACALE Winter Cycling Gloves

The RACALE from ROECKL SPORTS is a winter cycling glove from the ECO.SERIES that is ideal for in-between seasons and impresses with its windproof WINDSTOPPER by GORE-TEX LABS LEVANTE material on the back of the hand. The cycling glove also features the comfort highlight BIOCORE on the palm. This padding distributes pressure evenly and helps reduce hand fatigue – a much appreciated advantage, especially on long bike rides or rough trails.
The ECO.SENSE synthetic suede on the palm of the unisex cycling gloves ensures a non-slip grip on the handlebars. Other comfort features of the glove are its ERGONOMIC CUT, the seamless COMFORT-INNOVATION padding in the crook of the thumb, which is particularly stressed during cycling, the TOUCHSCREEN COMPATIBLE function and its all-round elastic cuff.

Highlights & Technologies:

ECO.SERIES:
The ECO.SERIES from ROECKL includes performance gloves that have a high proportion of recycled materials and are PFC-free. At the same time, the bike gloves were made with a focus on durability and ergonomics.

WINDSTOPPER by GORE-TEX LABS LEVANTE PFC-ZERO:
This is a completely windproof and reliably breathable 3-layer back of the hand material (interlock knit, membrane, fleece) made from 100 % recycled textile components. It is also water-repellent and has a PFC-free finish with an ePE-based laminate. It is bluesign approved and certified according to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.
Conclusion (translated from German): GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER is a great addition to the existing GORE-TEX brand for those times when comfort and functionality matter more than waterproofness. The WINDSTOPPER properties also provide excellent protection from the wind.

PFC-ZERO:
PFC is a group of chemicals acting as intermediates, auxiliary materials or breakdown products of certain fluorocarbon compounds. They are used in garment production to impregnate clothing due to their durable water- and grease-repellent properties. However, PFC residues are non-biodegradable and may be harmful. The product’s water- and dirt-repellent finish is free of PFC.

ECO.SENSE:
Hard-wearing and particularly soft synthetic suede with a good grip, made from 92% polyester with 60% recycled content and 8% elastane.

BIOCORE:
This lightweight, robust high-performance padding, which contains a high proportion of plant-based material, offers particularly high comfort on the handlebar. The padding impresses with a high cushioning effect for outstanding performance and sensitivity, excellent compression and resilience, optimal breathability thanks to an open, microcellular structure and can help reduce hand fatigue.

ERGONOMIC CUT:
The sensitive nerves running through the carpus are subject to pressure in most hand positions when cycling. The ERGONOMIC CUT developed by ROECKL provides targeted relief for the sensitive hand nerves and thus effectively prevents pressure. The anatomic palm padding provides much more comfort on the handlebar.

COMFORT INNOVATION:
For extra comfort, Roeckl has equipped the sensitive crook of the thumb, which is particularly stressed when cycling, with a seamless COMFORT-INNOVATION padding.

TOUCHSCREEN COMPATIBLE:
Conductive applications enable practical operation of smartphones, smartwatches or bike computers without having to take off your gloves.

Note:
The reflective design elements attached to the clothing as decoration do not represent a personal protective equipment as mentioned in EU regulation 2016/425. Thus, they are also not covered by the provisions of the regulation.
