Item 105.556.180 Helsingor Gore-Tex Long Cuff Motorcycle Gloves Black/Grey

Dane Helsingor Gore-Tex: waterproof mid-season motorcycle gloves with a long cuff in Black/Grey (Dane code 105.556.180). GORE-TEX® Z-liner membrane, 3D knuckle protector, reinforced finger inserts, double palm, visor wipe. EN 13594 level 1 KP approval.

✓ Strengths

• Long cuff – covers the wrist over the jacket sleeve: closes the point where water and air first enter
• GORE-TEX® Z-liner – the membrane is a separate insert, suspended between the outer leather and the lining, instead of being glued to the shell
• 3D knuckle protector – the new, shaped Dane 2026 protector
• Finger protection too – Dane states them as reinforced and protected as a separate item, not just the knuckles
• Double palm – the palm is reinforced with an additional layer of fabric, in the area that rubs first
• Goat leather and fabric together – leather where resistance is needed, fabric where the glove needs to flex
• Stretch panels between fingers – the hand closes on the handlebar without fighting the glove
• Lining fixed at the fingertips – doesn't pull out when you take off the glove with sweaty or wet hands, which is a typical flaw of lined gloves
• Visor wipe on the index finger and conductive fingertip for touchscreen
• Reflective panels front and back
• EN 13594, level 1 KP approval

Who it's perfect for

It's the mid-season glove for those who can't stand short cuffs. On Finn and Eskil, the glove ends just after the wrist and tucks under the sleeve; here, the cuff is long and closes over the sleeve, with the hook-and-loop strap at the top. It's a practical, not aesthetic, choice: the transition between sleeve and glove is the point where water enters and cold air rises, and a long cuff covers it instead of relying on the overlap with the jacket. The membrane is a GORE-TEX Z-liner, meaning a separate insert between leather and lining, and protection doesn't stop at the knuckles: Dane states that the fingers are also protected, and the palm is double. Dane positions it among adventure and touring gloves, for spring and autumn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Long cuff or short cuff: what's the real difference?
A long cuff closes over the jacket sleeve and covers the wrist; a short one ends just after the wrist and tucks under the sleeve. The transition point between sleeve and glove is where water and cold air enter: the long cuff closes it by itself, the short one relies on the jacket.

What is GORE-TEX Z-liner?
It's how the membrane is mounted inside the glove. In Z-liner, the membrane is a separate insert, suspended between the outer leather and the lining, instead of being glued to the shell as in laminated constructions. Gore still guarantees waterproofness, not just the glove manufacturer.

What protection does it have?
The new 3D Dane protector on the knuckles, reinforced and protected fingers, and a double palm, meaning an additional layer of fabric in the area that rubs first. Approval is EN 13594 level 1 KP: the KP acronym means that knuckle protection is certified, not just declared.

Why emphasize the fixed lining at the fingertips?
Because it's a typical flaw of lined gloves: you take off the glove with sweaty or wet hands and the lining comes out with your fingers, then it won't go back in. Here, the lining is fixed at the fingertips, so it stays in place. It seems like a minor detail until it happens during a stop in the rain.
