DescriptionThe whole story▼
Engineered from the ground up for the serious sport rider, the Spidi Carbo 5 in black brings together racing-derived carbon elements, Superfabric® reinforcements and perforated cowhide leather into a glove that looks as purposeful as it performs. The clean, black finish is defined by its technical layering — a visual language borrowed directly from the racetrack and translated into a road-legal, CE-certified package that genuinely earns its place in any sport riding kit.
Key Features
- PSA EN 13594:2015 Level 1 certified and compliant with EU/89/686ECC, delivering verified protection for sport road use
- Perforated cowhide leather at 0.6–0.8 mm thickness provides high abrasion resistance without sacrificing tactile feedback at the bars
- Superfabric® panels offer extreme resistance to tearing, cutting and puncturing in critical zones
- Carbon inserts reinforce the protection structure at key impact areas across the hand
- Keramide inserts on the palm side deliver enhanced abrasion resistance exactly where contact with the road surface is most likely
- Accordion stretch zones and a dual cuff closure system allow a precise, sport-fit that holds position without pressure points
Construction and Materials
The Carbo 5 represents Spidi's commitment to layered, functional construction rather than single-material compromise. The outer shell is built from perforated cowhide leather measuring 0.6–0.8 mm in thickness — a gauge that balances long-term durability with the close, direct feel that sport riders depend on. Clarino Velour Microfibre, a high-resistance synthetic material, lines the inner palm to reduce friction and improve grip comfort over extended rides.
Superfabric® panels are positioned in areas where a slide would demand the most of any glove — this fabric's resistance to tearing, cutting and puncturing makes it a logical choice at those transition zones between leather and open hand. Carbon inserts complete the protective architecture, adding structural reinforcement that disperses impact energy without adding meaningful bulk.
Protection and Safety
The Carbo 5 is certified to PSA EN 13594:2015 Level 1 and meets the requirements of the European personal protective equipment directive EU/89/686ECC. This certification confirms the glove's protective performance across abrasion, impact and retention — the three fundamentals that define a serious motorcycle glove.
Protection Details
- Warrior protection panels on the outer edges of the hand
- Keramide reinforcements across the palm for slide-down abrasion resistance
- Inner palm padding for shock absorption on impact
- Dorsal padding across the back of the hand
- Outer-side hand padding for lateral impact zones
- Carbon elements integrated into the protective structure throughout
Ergonomics and Fit
The Carbo 5 is designed around a sport-specific ergonomic last that keeps the hand in a natural riding position without tension. An adjustable wrist strap and wrist closure hold the glove securely in place during dynamic riding, while the dual cuff closure system ensures a clean interface with a jacket sleeve. Accordion stretch panels at key flex points allow the fingers and palm to move freely, removing the stiffness that plagues less considered designs.
Ventilation and Ride Comfort
Perforated leather across the glove promotes air circulation, keeping the hands cooler and drier during harder-paced or longer sport road rides. At an average weight of only 0.4 kg, the Carbo 5 sits at a point where protection and comfort are genuinely in balance — not one prioritised at the expense of the other.
