FIVE's GT1 EVO GTX grand-touring glove has been introduced in Australia. It combines a GORE-TEX Grip membrane, 80 g Primaloft insulation and D3O protection with CE KP1 certification. Offered in black from S to 3XL, it is priced locally at A$349.95.
I look past the A$349.95 price to the construction: 80 g of Primaloft across the back of the hand, with goat leather and GORE-TEX Grip preserving feel at the palm. D3O is spread across the knuckles, fingers, thumb and forearm, and the glove carries CE KP1 approval. The right answer is not maximum bulk, but insulation you can still grip through all day.

Even with GORE-TEX, these will probably feel hot in midsummer.
Putting the 80 g insulation on the back of the hand preserves control feel.
D3O through the fingers and forearm plus CE KP1 is reassuring.
In rain, the left-index visor wiper may be the most-used feature.
A$349.95 is expensive for gloves.
If one pair covers three seasons, replacement costs may balance out.
One pair for cold mornings and warm afternoons would be useful.
