Just arrived in SA are these wonderfully made, short style, leather gloves. We’ve been told that these can take longer than a leather jacket to make, because of the vast amount of stitching needed to construct.
We’re certainly not going to disagree, especially when you check out the build quality. The knuckle area has a bulletproof protective insert, with ventilation holes, and the wrist area has extra-thick ‘EX8’ padded inserts. This particular option has ventilated fingers but there’s also a ‘solid’ version, if you prefer. They’ve also passed a stringent EU Standard test, which is commendable. An impressive quality leather glove from Berik’s own Design Lab, with a very affordable price tag to match.
Price: R1,650 +/-. Available from you local Berik retailer.

Here’s something that any Adventure bike rider, or off-road rider, should have in their top box or backpack. The sturdy padded Oxford case holds 28 necessary pieces that could save you hours of misery at the side of the road, or out in the bush. 
Inside are various sockets, screw tips, Allen keys, pliers, wire/cable cutter, screwdrivers and more. Not too bad at all for something the size of a large sandwich. The Biker Tool Kit will also make a great gift for any type of motorcyclist. Price: R475. Go to www.dmd.co.za for more information and to locate your nearest Oxford dealer to purchase. 11/06/26. 
If, like many, your bike only has a side stand then this new product from Oxford could be invaluable. It’s a portable and compact jack that you can place under the swing-arm allowing you to remove the rear wheel. Or, with a bit of intuition, maybe place it under the frame to lift the front wheel.
