Скачать или смотреть Don't Buy Gloves Without This

Two small things contribute to the safety of your motorcycle gloves. Do yours have them?

They’re both lightweight summer gloves made from textile and leather materials. Both have carbon knuckle protectors.

But the first big difference - one glove has a pinky tether that connects it to the ring finger. The other does not. When people fall, their natural instinct is to extend the arm and open the fingers, which can lead to injury. That’s why professional riders are trained NOT to do this.

The pinky tether limits how far your finger can move and decreases the risk of injury. The next feature is even more critical.

Have you ever wondered how parkour athletes can jump from such big heights without getting injured? They roll to distribute the force of impact.

The palm slider on your glove works in a similar way, distributing the force over a longer distance. It also adds extra abrasion resistance. This could mean the difference between a sprain and a fracture.

The next time you look at gloves, find ones with both a pinky tether and palm slider.
