Description

The Summer Mesh Motorcycle Glove with Ultimate Breathability & Proprietary Durability
The CACAZAN ZZR-055M represents the specialized evolution of the rugged three-season motorcycle glove. It is engineered specifically to conquer the intense heat and humidity of summer riding.

Building on the robust foundation of the ZZR-055, this “Summer Mesh” variant introduces a fully perforated and meshed back panel. This creates a channeled ventilation system for maximum airflow.

Crafted from the same exclusive, approximately 1.3mm thick A-grade New Zealand winter deerskin and featuring the signature diagonal YKK EXCELLA® zipper, the ZZR-055M delivers uncompromising palm protection and durability. It actively cools the rider, offering a definitive solution for the motorcyclist. In hot conditions, it refuses to sacrifice safety or material quality for comfort.

Product Highlights

🌬️ Advanced Mesh Ventilation for Targeted Summer Cooling
The ZZR-055M’s defining feature is its fully perforated and meshed back panel. This strategic design creates a direct, channeled airflow across the top of the hand. This is the area most prone to overheating. This advanced ventilation system actively expels heat and perspiration. It makes it the ultimate glove for stop-and-go traffic, urban commuting, and long rides in high temperatures, without compromising the protective structure.

🛡️ Uncompromised Palm Protection with Proprietary Deerskin
While the back breathes, the palm remains fully armored with CACAZAN’s proprietary, approximately 1.3mm thick A-grade New Zealand winter deerskin. This exclusive, drum-dyed chrome-tanned leather provides critical abrasion resistance, water repellency, and a unique soft-yet-durable texture. The result is a glove that offers robust protection where it matters most. It is paired with exceptional grip and control feel at the handlebars.

⚙️ Diagonal Zipper Security & Premium Componentry
Retaining the core architecture of the ZZR series, the 055M features the bold diagonal zipper closure, ensuring a wind-resistant, secure seal over the wrist. The zipper is a custom CACAZAN unit built with YKK’s high-quality EXCELLA® components. This guarantees smooth operation and long-term reliability under riding stress. The extended gauntlet cuff provides comprehensive coverage.

🎨 Sophisticated Summer Colorway: IVORY x BLACK
Presented in a sharp IVORY x BLACK colorway, the ZZR-055M offers a clean, sophisticated aesthetic that stands out. It contrasts with typical black motorcycle gear. The light-colored mesh back further aids in heat reflection. Meanwhile, the contrasting black palm presents a purposeful, technical appearance.

Performance & Summer Riding Philosophy

Goal: To solve the primary comfort issue in summer motorcycling—overheating hands—through intelligent material engineering and design, while maintaining the highest standards of protective quality, durability, and tactile feedback that define the CACAZAN motorcycle range.

Focus: Delivering active cooling through strategic mesh paneling; ensuring critical impact and abrasion zones remain fully protected with premium, thick deerskin; providing a secure, adjustable fit with the diagonal zipper system; and offering a made-to-order glove that prioritizes both immediate comfort and long-term resilience.

Usage, Care & Selection Considerations

⚠️ Critical Riding & Maintenance Guidance:

• Primary Application: Specifically engineered for summer and warm-weather motorcycle riding where heat management is a priority.

• Material Care: As with all premium natural leather, pre-emptive maintenance with a recommended product like Collonil wax is advised to enhance water resistance and protect the leather from road grime, extending its lifespan.

• Material Character: The drum-dyed chrome-tanned deerskin offers water resistance, but color transfer may occur if the glove becomes saturated (e.g., heavy rain, sweat) and is subjected to friction.

• Custom Fit: For riders requiring a perfect fit, custom sizing is available through direct consultation.

🎯 Primary Riding & Ownership Benefits:

• Superior Summer Comfort: The mesh back provides unparalleled airflow, drastically reducing hand sweat and heat fatigue.

• Confident, Uncompromised Protection: The thick deerskin palm and robust construction offer serious abrasion resistance.

• Premium, Breathable Materials: Experience the difference of exclusive, ventilated leather versus synthetic mesh alternatives.

• Distinctive, Functional Style: The IVORY x BLACK colorway and mesh design offer a technically advanced and stylish look.

Strategic Advantages & Specialized Innovation

📈 Solving a Universal Riding Problem with Bespoke Craft
The ZZR-055M addresses the near-universal rider complaint of hot hands in summer. However, it does so not with generic mesh fabrics, but with a carefully engineered application of premium, perforated leather and artisan construction.

🔥 Ventilation Without Vulnerability
This model challenges the notion that increased ventilation must come at the cost of protection. By keeping the palm solid and strategically meshing the back, it provides cooling without creating weak points in critical impact zones.

🔄 The Logical, Performance-Focused Evolution
The 055M is not a separate product line but a thoughtful, hot-climate variant of the proven ZZR-055. This demonstrates a sophisticated, rider-centric approach to product development. It offers specialized tools for specific conditions within a coherent family.
