Held Biker Fashion
For more than 75 years, the Allgäu-based family business Held has specialised in Motorbike gloves and boots as well as textile and leather combinations, luggage and accessories for motorcyclists.


What makes your brand so special?
To provide motorcyclists around the world with the best possible protection, we have made it our mission to combine safety, comfort and fit with our products in a durable and cost-conscious way.
Was like this, is like this, stays like this!
The product design looks super exciting and makes us curious! What is so fascinating and unique about it?
Our products have been designed and developed in Germany since the beginning of the company’s history.
Many components of our Held products are still manufactured in the Held product centre in Burgberg and then sent to our producers, where they are further processed. This is how we ensure that the products are manufactured according to our strict quality standards!
For us, it's very much about cooperation and collaboration. Please share with us what makes Sympatex the perfect partner?
Functionality and sustainability are our top priorities. The fact that Sympatex produces functional textiles from recycled and recyclable mono-materials and will no longer use new materials from the oil industry in future is a very positive development.
Apparently you love our planet too! What does your "better planet" look like? And what steps are you taking as a brand to achieve it?
That’s right! We take responsibility, not only for our business activities, but also for people and the environment. This is particularly important to us as a family business. Conscious of the fact that an intact environment is severely jeopardised by climate change in particular, we have firmly anchored the issue of sustainability in our corporate strategy and in everyday life at Held.
- We set ourselves clear, measurable goals for sustainable development.
- We identify areas with high resource consumption and reduce this.
- We are reducing our CO2 emissions, investing in renewable energies and promoting the use of environmentally friendly transport routes.
- With our social responsibility, we take into account employee health, diversity and the common good. In this way, we create a positive working environment and ensure that the values that are important to us are also upheld by our suppliers.
- We communicate our sustainability measures to our employees and business partners and e n c o u r a g e them to play an active role in achieving these goals.
