Description

The Rugged Three-Season Motorcycle Glove with Diagonal Zipper Design
The CACAZAN ZZR-055 represents a purpose-built departure into the realm of dedicated motorcycle gloves. It is engineered for the rider who demands uncompromising protection, a secure fit, and all-weather versatility.

Distinguished by its bold diagonal zipper closure and crafted from a proprietary, extra-thick grade of New Zealand winter deerskin. This model is designed for comfort and confidence across three seasons of riding.

With an extended gauntlet-style cuff for enhanced coverage and a range of high-visibility color combinations. The ZZR-055 combines CACAZAN’s legendary material sourcing with a robust, motorcycle-specific construction. It is focused on durability and a commanding on-bike presence.

Product Highlights

⚡ Bold Diagonal Zipper & Motorcycle-Specific Architecture
The ZZR-055 is immediately recognizable by its prominent diagonal zipper. This design choice ensures a secure, adjustable, and gapless closure over the wrist. This is a critical feature for keeping wind and debris out during riding. Also, the extended cuff length (approximately 260mm for size L) is designed to cover a wristwatch. This feature establishes its serious, purpose-built motorcycle glove pedigree.

🛡️ Proprietary A-Grade Winter Deerskin for Enhanced Durability
Diverging from the 0.8mm deerskin used in driving gloves, the ZZR-055 utilizes a proprietary, approximately 1.3mm thick “A-grade” deerskin. It is harvested specifically in the New Zealand winter. This exclusive leather, tanned by master craftsmen in Wakayama, Japan, offers a superior balance of increased abrasion resistance and retained flexibility. It provides robust protection without sacrificing the dexterity needed for control operation.

🌦️ Three-Season Versatility with a Rugged, Comfort-First Fit
Designed for use in spring, summer, and autumn conditions. The glove provides substantial coverage and protection. Despite its rugged construction and thick leather, the craftsmen have engineered it to feel comfortable and intuitive from the very first wear. This eliminates the lengthy break-in period often associated with heavy-duty motorcycle gloves.

🎨 High-Visibility Color Combinations for Style & Safety
Offered in a range of striking two-tone colorways—including Black/Black, Black/Red, Black/Blue, Black/Orange, Brown/Black, and Camel/Black. The ZZR-055 allows riders to choose a look that matches their motorcycle and gear. The contrasting color panels also serve a functional purpose, increasing visual presence on the road for added safety.
