Introduction
Motorcycle Glove GP-EVO R is a glove for professional motorcycling with modern safety features and a design inspired by traditional Japanese warrior armor, Yoroi-Kabuto. When engineering how best to fit the hard protector over the soft glove, the resin-molded protector was prototyped utilizing 3D printing in order to perfectly match ergonomic functionality with the shape of the glove. In the case of a fall, the resin-molded protector reduces the frictional resistance against the road surface. This lessens the impact energy in order to prevent hand injuries. With the combination of two types of natural leather and elastic aramid fiber, the glove ensures a comfortable fit as well as freedom of movement unimpaired by the protector. This glove has received important recognition at the Red Dot Design Awards, the international event celebrating products that feature the most innovative and futuristic design. GP EVO R won in the product design category.
