The all-weather Proviz REFLECT360 cycling gloves are manufactured using a 100% reflective outer shell to give you an extra reflective item at night. Padded palms help to give enhanced comfort & the silicone web grip gives great grip when its raining. Underneath the outer layer there is an internal waterproof layer made from a Korean Hipora insert. Korean Hipora consists of a three-layer microporous silicone coating structure. The first layer prevents most water from passing, the second layer is a honeycomb structure that lets moisture in to then let it expel through the first layer, the third layer is a denser layer to added protection against water. The three layers combine to give a breathable & very effective material for cycling gloves due to its thin, lightweight & waterproof properties. It all started in a small flat in London by two brothers in 2008. At the time they were working in corporate jobs in London & it was during their daily commutes by bike to work that they realised the limitations of the products they were using. They identified a gap in the market to provide highly innovative, light-emitting & reflective cycling products. Inspired by their experiences (good & bad!) & with no prior retail or product manufacturing experience they designed five innovative cycling products. It took a lot of time & research to identify & engage the correct manufacturers but the founders had a desire to push innovation & product development in a niche area where they believed it was missing. The founders set about building a brand that would address this need, synonymous with innovation, performance & being highly effective. Most importantly, the desire was to create products that customers loved & that made a difference in their lives.
