Held 2027 Collection: Seven New Releases at EICMA

Held GmbH is presenting a selection of its 2027 collection at EICMA 2026 in Milan. From 3 to 8 November, the company will show at stand E39 in Hall 14 how it is expanding its clothing range for the coming season. The announcement centres on seven new releases: two laminate textile suits, a one-piece leather suit, a mesh suit, two jackets and a touring glove. In addition to the 2027 selection, the current collection can also be seen at the stand.

With Farland, Held is targeting riders who head out on longer trips. Jacket and trousers are made from GORE-TEX Pro 3L laminate. The textile suit is an evolution of the Atacama and, according to the manufacturer, puts weather protection front and centre. It is therefore a new addition to the brand's touring range.

Held's product page for the Farland jacket also lists Cordura Ripstop 600D and reinforced impact zones. Ventilation zips are positioned on the front, back and arms, and the front zip can also be used as an ACS air intake. The removable thermal jacket can be worn on its own. Features include Level 2 D3O Diablo protectors at the shoulders and elbows as well as preparation for eVest and eVest PRO. According to its own product page, the Farland trousers get Level 2 protectors at the knees and hips, ventilation zips and the HPA system for adjusting the knee protectors. Held specifies protection class AA for both pieces.

With Tarkana, Held is presenting another laminate textile suit. While the announcement describes Farland as the evolution of an existing concept, the focus with Tarkana is initially on the available variants. The suit is set to be available in 2027 in three colourways as well as in men's and women's sizes.

Tarkana uses a two-layer stretch ripstop laminate with a Held-Tex membrane which, according to the manufacturer, is waterproof, windproof and breathable. The jacket features ventilation zips on the front, back and arms, a front zip that doubles as an ACS air intake, and preparation for eVest and eVest PRO. D3O Diablo protectors at the shoulders and elbows are rated Level 2. For the trousers, Held lists Level 2 protectors at the knees and hips as well as the HPA system for adjusting the knee protectors. According to the shop, jacket and trousers are rated protection class AA.

In the leather segment, Suzuka is among the new releases. According to Held, the one-piece leather suit is airbag-compatible and is announced in three colourways. In addition to short and long sizes, women's sizes are also planned. The choice therefore covers both colour schemes and different size options.

The product page for the Suzuka explicitly lists eVest and eVest PRO as compatible systems. The one-piece is made from 1.1 to 1.3 mm thick soft cowhide and, according to Held, is rated protection class AAA. Perforated leather panels and a front zip usable as an ACS air intake take care of ventilation, while stretch zones are located at the back, shoulders, elbows and knees, among other areas. Held lists Level 2 protectors at the shoulders, elbows, knees and hips as well as knee and elbow sliders. Back and chest protectors are described as retrofittable.

For the warmer months, Held is announcing the Torrido. The suit consists of a mesh jacket and mesh trousers made from perforated Tactel 500D. The cut is sporty. Unlike the touring approach of Farland, Torrido is explicitly listed in the announcement as summer gear.

In the shop, the Torrido jacket is described with Level 1 D3O Diablo protectors at the shoulders and elbows, preparation for eVest and eVest PRO and Held Clip-in Technology. No membrane is integrated; a membrane inner jacket is listed as optional equipment. According to its own product page, the trousers feature mesh panels on the thighs, shins and calves as well as Level 1 protectors at the knees and hips. A membrane inner trouser is likewise listed as optional equipment. According to Held, both pieces are rated protection class AA. We still have no wearing or riding impressions of our own.

The new Core joins the collection as a softshell jacket. Held is announcing four colours or designs and pairs them with functional details: underarm ventilation zips as well as an elastic waistband and elastic cuffs are among the listed features.

Core is made from bi-elastic softshell fabric that is said to be breathable as well as wind- and water-repellent. No membrane is integrated. The jacket gets a hood with adjustable drawcord and press-stud fastening, Level 1 D3O Diablo protectors at the shoulders and elbows, and protection class AA. A back protector can be retrofitted. For connecting to trousers, Held lists a separate connecting-zip adapter. Preparation for eVest and eVest PRO is also confirmed.

With Talina, Held is presenting a new textile jacket that will be offered exclusively in women's sizes. Three colourways have been announced. Alongside the Suzuka and Tarkana suits, which are also available for women, this adds a dedicated women's jacket to the line-up of new releases.

Talina features a bi-elastic softshell fabric, a mesh lining and a Held-Tex Z-Liner, which is said to be waterproof, windproof and breathable. The removable thermal vest is described in the shop as a plush vest. There are also ventilation zips, side stretch panels and preparation for eVest and eVest PRO. Held lists Level 1 protectors at the shoulders and elbows, a retrofittable back protector and protection class AA. Women's sizes DXS to D4XL are listed.

Held is also continuing an existing product line when it comes to gloves. The Air N Dry 4 is the announced evolution of its 2in1 touring glove. Features include an injected knuckle shell and GORE-TEX 2in1 technology.

The Air N Dry 4 uses the two-chamber concept: the breezy chamber is unlined, while the dry chamber has a GORE-TEX membrane and a piqué push-pull lining. Held lists Cordura ripstop with leather trim on the back of the hand and kangaroo leather on the palm. Perforations, ventilation inserts between the fingers, stretch panels and a visor wiper round off the features. NUDUD technology is designed to allow smartphone operation. Newly highlighted are sizes 13 and 14 in black. Held also lists women's, short and long sizes. The manufacturer cites certification to EN 13594:2015, tested knuckle protection and SuperFabric reinforcements on the palm heel and outer edge of the hand. How the glove performs in use remains for a real-world test to show.

The selection shows the breadth of the announced collection: touring-oriented laminate gear sits alongside a leather suit, a sporty summer suit, individual jackets and touring gloves. Anyone wanting to see the differences in person will find Held at EICMA from 3 to 8 November 2026 in Hall 14, stand E39. Specialist staff will also be on hand there for a chat.

Jackets and trousers of the Farland, Tarkana and Torrido suits are listed separately. All prices include statutory VAT and exclude shipping costs. The variant selected in the shop is decisive.

Added up, jacket and trousers together come to €2,398.95 for Farland, €649.90 for Tarkana and €549.90 for Torrido.

Further information and the clothing range are available in the official Held online shop. The new releases are also compiled on the overview page for the Held 2027 collection.
