SuperFabric®

SuperFabric® is a highly abrasion-resistant material. The fabric is overlaid with countless little guard plates on top that are arranged in a way that allows flexibility without sacrificing performance.

They are coated in a resin that is also used in the production of helmets and can withstand aggressive abrasion – and are also highly slash- and rip resistant.

So all in all, an effective additional layer of protection in key areas. You’ll find it in Macna’s gloves, jackets, pants, and even MotoGP suits, where they cover critical seams.

Goat leather

Goat leather is a strong leather with a rough texture. It is flexible, soft and durable.

Synthetic Nubuck

Brushed synthetic leather which is soft, flexible, breathable and has the look of real suede.

Touch Tip

Touch screens dominate the modern day and age. Smartphones, tablets, and even more important for us motorcyclists: navigation systems. It is nice those screens work by touch, but that’s not really helpful when you’re wearing gloves.

That’s why Maca opts for heat-conductive fabric at the tips of the index fingers. These special Touch Tips enable the warmth of your finger to find its way through so that you can operate touch screens without having to take off your gloves.

EVA Protection

R.I.S.C. EVA protection consists of rubber foam underneath the outer shell. Protection with EVA padding is flexible and resilient as it recovers quickly from compression.

EVA foam excels in absorbing vibrations and impact forces. It is also characterized by its good thermal insulation as well as low water-absorption.

Other advantages are its softness, non-toxicity, stress-crack resistance and resistance to ultraviolet radiation which makes EVA suitable for many purposes.

EXO RISC™

In order to keep improving the comfort of Macna’s products and thus of motorcyclists, our designers are constantly being challenged. At the start of 2021, they were tasked to take another look at breathability of protectors.

Protectors are often sturdy covers that protect very well, but lack a five-star rating in other areas. Being hard, impact-absorbent and abrasion-resistant is likely to make a protector score low when it comes to breathability and flexibility.

Strange thing is; your body often catches more than enough wind, so breathability doesn’t have to be an issue. How are we going to flex a hard cover, though? This could use some macnafication.

Ergothumb™

Ride long enough and eventually anything in an ‘unnatural’ position will start to hurt. In this case, Macna does'nt blame you, but your gear. Traditional gloves simply aren’t designed to grab the handlebar and maintain that position, sometimes for hours on end.

Ergothumb™ is an ergonomic construction that prevents wrinkling, pressure points, and pain, due to the thumb and index finger being made of one and the same panel of fabric. This creates a preformed glove that’s in its ‘natural’ position when you are riding.

Ergopink™

This ergonomic solution was developed after the success of Macna’s Ergothumb™ construction. Now that the hands of riders were comfortable on the inside of the handlebar, Macna shifted their attention to the outside – to the little finger (i.e. pinkie) to be exact.

Ergopink™ refers to Macna’s ergonomic solution at the outside of the hand. By repositioning the seams on the outside of the pinkie finger, they’ve managed to prevent pressure points and increase your comfort at the handlebar even further.

30° Buckle™

Aside from a closure at the cuff, long-cuffed gloves often also have a strap at the wrist. This strap is placed horizontally in most cases, which does tighten the glove, but also limits your wrist’s freedom of movement.

This complaint is easily solved by Macna’s 30° Buckle™, which enables the wrist and hand to move more freely. Thanks to the difference in placement of the buckle, freedom of movement and overall comfort are raised.

RISC™ Carbon TPR Knuckles
Lightweight and strong external carbon protection, enhanced with a rubber-like pad at the center.
