Sport-Lined Gloves with Zipper Back and Enhanced Durability

The CACAZAN DDR-050 represents a fusion of race-inspired aesthetics and CACAZAN’s core performance philosophy, delivering the brand’s signature tactile sensitivity within a distinctly sporty package.

Characterized by a prominent YKK EXCELLA zipper on the back of the hand, this model incorporates the same seamless palm construction for ultimate steering feel while offering optional leather reinforcements for extended durability.

Designed for drivers who demand both the unadulterated feedback of a purist’s glove and the secure, adjustable fit of a competition-style design, the DDR-050 pairs advanced moisture-wicking Bemberg Cupra lining with the artisanal quality of Japanese-crafted deerskin.

Product Highlights

⚡ Seamless Palm Tactility with Sport-Lined Convenience
At its core, the DDR-050 retains CACAZAN’s revolutionary seamless palm design, ensuring direct, unfiltered transmission of steering wheel feedback for precise control. This performance foundation is combined with a sport-lined back featuring a full-length YKK EXCELLA zipper, providing a secure, adjustable fit and a distinctly dynamic aesthetic inspired by motorsport gloves.

🔄 Configurable Reinforcement for Demanding Use
Following the philosophy of the DDR-041R, this model offers strategic durability enhancements. Standard palm reinforcement protects high-wear contact zones, with an optional backside reinforcement available for complete compatibility with suede-like steering wheels such as Alcantara. This allows drivers to tailor the glove’s resilience to their specific usage patterns and steering wheel material.

🖐️ Secure, Adjustable Fit with Premium Zipper Closure
The integrated YKK EXCELLA zipper allows for easy donning and doffing while enabling micro-adjustments to achieve a perfectly snug, secure fit around the wrist and hand. This feature enhances comfort during extended drives and ensures the glove remains firmly in place during spirited or track driving, eliminating distraction.

🔥 Advanced Moisture Management and Artisanal Craft
The interior is lined with Asahi Kasei Bemberg Cupra, a technical material prized for its exceptional moisture absorption and release properties, maintaining a dry, comfortable environment. Each glove is meticulously handmade by CACAZAN craftsmen, ensuring the zipper is flawlessly integrated and the seamless palm is perfectly executed.
