The Nivala 2 is what we would term a lightweight winter that can cover three seasons. It has a huge and impressive spec as you should expect from Nivala Rukka ranged

ThecNivala 2 will absorb a lot of rain, as the membrane comes courtesy of Gore-Tex. For added warmth in cold weather, you get a fleecy lining, but also Outlast. Now Outlast (temperature regulator)? that works particularly well with heated grips.

As far as protection is concerned, there’s a D3O style protector on the main knuckle. You get small protectors also on the minor knuckles. On the palm, there’s a slider, but also a scaphoid protector.

There are concertina stretch panels on the back of the hand and on the thumb. You get reflective banding on the fingers and at the wrist. At the wrist, there are two means of closure. A Velcro strap at the wrist, and a Velcro flap for the cuff.

The two little fingers are strapped together, The index fingers on both hands are touchscreen sensitive; and on the left hand you get a visor wipe.

With such a fantastic glove you are probably asking why I am selling it after only using it 5 times … well I always buy a size 8 glove that fits me but this glove is a little tight for me. Everybody tells me that they will give as they are leather but it just hasn’t worked and I am going to stick with my Held Warm grip winter gloves that do work for me.
