CHOOSE YOUR EL GALÁN
El Galán is the Invictus glove for those who refuse to be cold or wet. The Thinsulate™ 75g insulation is the same standard used by premium brands — it retains body heat even in heavy rain and wind conditions, without adding the bulk of a ski glove. The Hipora® membrane seals the interior against prolonged downpours, while the 4-way stretch softshell exterior lets you bend your fingers naturally on the controls without losing the feel of control.
The hard knuckle protectors meet the CE EN 13594:2015 Level 1 certification. The GRIP palm reinforcement keeps your grip on brake and clutch even with wet gloves. The long cuff with elastic and double Velcro prevents cold from getting in through the wrist and stops the glove from shifting in the event of a fall. The Thinsulate™ inner lining with microfibre on the palm is hypoallergenic and lets you wear it for hours on end without irritation.
Available in black and grey in sizes 7 to 12. If the cold you face is severe but not extreme, the Artic with HITEX membrane is a valid alternative at a lower price. If you also ride in autumn and spring, the Artic is more versatile. El Galán is the glove when winter is the main player.

Who is El Galán for?
El Galán is the glove for those who live in cold areas or ride regularly in winter and want no compromises. The Thinsulate™ 75g is the same level of insulation you would find in premium-brand gloves at double the price. The Hipora® membrane withstands prolonged rain without the inside getting wet.
If you ride all year round and need a versatile glove, the Artic is the alternative: same waterproofing, thermal lining sufficient for most winters and more breathable in mid-season. El Galán is the choice when extreme cold and rain are the norm, not the exception.
Frequently asked questions about El Galán gloves

The Artic features HITEX membrane and a padded thermal lining, more versatile for all-season use. If winter is your main season, El Galán. If you ride all year round, the Artic.
Thinsulate™ is a 3M thermal insulating fibre that retains body heat with minimal thickness. The 75g in El Galán is the standard level in winter gloves from leading brands. It keeps hands warm even when the glove gets wet on the outside, because the insulation works even when it absorbs moisture.
Yes. The Hipora® membrane is 100% waterproof and breathable. The softshell exterior also repels water before it reaches the membrane. In prolonged torrential rain (more than 2-3 hours) some moisture may appear through the seams, as on any glove without sealed seams — in that case a thin latex inner layer is recommended.
