Lightweight long-distance leather
Vanucci is a brand of the Louis.de equipment manufacturer, offering a range of technical and stylish clothing. The Cool Touring III are lightweight gloves intended for long trips in hot weather.
Discovery
Aesthetics are an appreciable component of the brand’s items. The Cool Touring IIIs are no exception to the house elegance, dressing their black leather with discreet fluorescent yellow markings and inserts on the knuckles. These let the air flow pass and compose an original colored signature. Another refinement, the reflective border, running from the cuff above the hand, is in black 3M Scotchlite for perfect discretion..
Third evolution of the lightweight touring model, the latest models are made of cowhide leather for the cuff and ALLCURA goatskin (thinner for equal strength) for the palm and back of the hand. The latter is tanned with the TFL Cool System process, "reflecting" the sunlight to limit heating. According to the manufacturer, the temperature difference, compared to normal leather, can be up to 12 ° C. In addition, TFL leather is more resistant to light and ages better. The surfaces between each finger are also perforated to optimize ventilation.
Surprisingly, the protection of the latter’s joints is extremely reduced. Only a double layer in three cuts reinforces the area. Their predecessor incorporated, in place and place, a fine quilting. We also find this type of garnish on three fingers. Thumb and index finger are deprived of it, but integrate at their end a conductive material at the level of the thumb and index finger for the use of smartphones and other touch screens…. well seen.
Long cuff and especially palm also receive reinforcements, including one in Keprotec (Schoeller), a fabric combining Cordura and Kevlar. Finally, a strap allows tightening at the wrist and adjusts with Velcro.
Comfort is ensured by certain seams in elastane (flexible) and a gusset at the junction of the thumbs. The only lining is on the upper part of the cuff.

When putting on, we therefore appreciate an all-leather construction, providing very good sensitivity and limiting heat. Plus, even when the inevitable wetness takes hold of your hands, nothing sticks or gets in the way when you remove the gloves. The cut, Italian style, is adjusted, offering a sporty feel. In fact, the fineness and flexibility of the leather give the glove an excellent feeling of the controls as well as an appreciable comfort. The absence of rigid upper protectors reinforces this aspect, although a little padding would not have hampered the pleasure..
The Vanucci Cool Touring are immediately forgotten and retain a relative freshness in all circumstances. Even when the temperature rises to over 30 ° C, you do not feel the impression of "leather" in the gloves. Over the kilometers, their quality remains intact and their performance flawless. Their resistance to humidity, without drying out, is particularly remarkable..
After long and hot journeys, the set remains soft to the touch, without the need for cleaning products. Withstanding a temporary downpour, the waterproofing is of course limited. We will then avoid driving in a stormy rain.
In mid-season, the protection provided by leather allows you to ride serenely where a pair of gloves incorporating textile is too tight. In addition, their superior abrasion resistance and a longer cuff ensure increased safety..
Finally, giving a very good touch, you can easily keep them to look for credit card, change and other toll tickets in your pockets. Handling your smartphone without undressing your hands is also appreciable and fast and the screen reacts perfectly.
Conclusion
Long cuff and ventilated design make the Vanucci Cool Touring excellent gloves for long distance travel. Hot season, transient heat waves or the first chills of the morning, they will never leave your hands…. when the weather is nice. The limited waterproofing, however, makes it necessary to bring a complementary pair to face the rain. More annoying in the event of a fall, the surprising absence of reinforcements on the top of the hand is regrettable. However, priced at 89.99 €, the Vanucci Cool Touring are pleasant partners of summer trips.
Potential competitors like the Alpinestars C-20 Drystar, € 119.95 and waterproof, obviously do not deliver the same comfort in hot weather. Closer in terms of positioning, the BMW ProSummers, also devoid of any real protection, do not benefit from the TFL treatment and are more expensive, at 110 €.
Attractive, sporty and stylish, the Vanucci Cool Touring are an excellent pair of complementary gloves to slip into your suitcases..
