The Held Story

The Origins

In 1946 two professional glove makers, Bruno and son Edgar Held, founded the company HELD in Burberg. They recognised the need to protect people's hands, and with that they realised the protective second skin had to be as pleasant and at the same time as robust as possible. Natural and resistant leathers have always been the best choice for this. Held developed their first motorcycle gloves in the 70s, and have only grown since

The Brand

The highest performance level have been a part of Held's DNA since they began, as shown by their many awards. Held are committed to the long term production of quality products. Held strive for their products to improve the conditions for motorcyclists- whether commuting, for leisure, or racing at high speeds; but always with the aim of offering the greatest possible physical protection.

The Latest

Held was recently voted MotorRad's Best Brand of 2019! For three separate category: Gloves, Textiles and Biker Jeans. This is the 4th time in a row Held has won MotorRad Best Brand Gloves. They also placed 3rd for protectors and back packs, which overall is a fantastic result.
