Race-Focused Protection and High-Flow Ventilation

The Ixon GP4 Air is a high-performance summer racing glove designed to deliver maximum protection and airflow for sport riders. Constructed from premium goat leather and reinforced with latest-generation Pittards leather, these gloves incorporate technical elements directly from the race track to ensure rider safety and comfort. With a carbon knuckle shell and integrated air intakes, the GP4 Air provides a highly protective yet breathable solution for high-speed riding in warm conditions.

Key Features

• Carbon Knuckle Shell: Provides high-level impact protection with an underlying gusset for improved hand mobility.
• Pittards Leather Palm: Utilises latest-generation technical leather on the palm, reinforced with carbon for superior abrasion resistance.
• Advanced Ventilation: Features extensive perforations and injected air intakes on the fingers to maintain airflow during summer rides.
• Anti-Bend-Back Protection: A safety bridge between the third and little fingers reduces the risk of finger injury during a slide.
• Racing Palm Slider: Integrated slider on the lower palm to facilitate sliding and prevent snagging on the bitumen.
• Double Cuff Fastening: Secure closure system featuring a wrist strap and wide cuff tabs to ensure the glove remains in place.
• Reverse Seam Construction: Internal seams are minimised to prevent pressure points and enhance tactile feedback from the controls.
• Touchscreen Compatibility: Includes a touchscreen-friendly index finger for easy operation of mobile devices and GPS units.

Materials and Construction

The GP4 Air is engineered with a focus on structural integrity and rider ergonomics. The chassis is crafted from high-quality goat leather on both the back and palm, providing a balance of flexibility and durability. To further enhance comfort, flex leather is used on the knuckles and a gusset is positioned beneath the main shell, allowing the glove to follow the natural movement of the hand. This attention to detail extends to the reinforced sidewalls and edging, ensuring the glove withstands the rigours of aggressive sport riding.
