Off-Road Powersports Gloves
No matter whether you own a UTV, ATV, or snowmobile, when you ride your capable vehicle on rough terrain, it is crucial to retain a close tactile connection with the controls of your machine. Have your finger on the pulse, so to speak, to provide timely and adequate inputs to accelerate, brake, or maneuver when needed. At the same time, you have to think about protection. Besides wearing a durable helmet, comfortable armored jacket, padded pants, and rigid boots, you’d better cover your hands with suitable off-road gloves. They should be flexible enough not to hinder the driver’s movements and provide a sufficient level of protection.
Browse our online catalog of powersports MX and off-road gloves created for avid motocross and trail riders. We work with some of the most well-known manufacturers that offer their high-quality products under such brand names as MX Equipment, 100%, Pro Grip, Five 5 Advanced Gloves, Fly Racing, Alpinestars, and many others. These gloves may feature gel inserts and silicone prints on the palms and fingers for better traction on the grips and good feel of controls. To protect your hands and fingers from injuries caused by impacts from tree branches and flying rocks, hard knuckle shields and layers of impact-resistant foam are used.
Every rider knows that it is very easy to fly off the saddle when the wheels of the machine get stuck in some pit or roots. In such a case, people instinctively put their hands forward to absorb the impact. That is why riders should wear gloves that feature a substantial level of abrasion resistance. However, thick, beefy leather is not the answer in the off-road environment. Besides causing fatigue and becoming a distraction, such gear reduces the tactile perception of controls. You must be able to feel brake and clutch levers since you use them constantly while riding off the beaten path.
If you use your UTV or ATV mostly for bashing dunes somewhere in the desert where there are no trees, logs, or rocks, you may be interested in more breathable gloves with mesh top sections for better airflow and moisture wicking. If you often suffer from blisters caused by your grips, consider choosing models with special thumb overlays for added protection. Blisters are not only unpleasant but also dangerous, since the pain from a torn blister may cause you to lose grip. You may go for neoprene full palm protectors that you may wear separately, or use them with the gloves. These accessories offer ultimate protection from blisters and reduce vibration.
In our store, we have gloves for off-road enthusiasts that feature stretch panels made from premium-quality fabrics to offer a perfect fit, great comfort, excellent flexibility, and minimal restriction to movements. Some models come with silicone printed patches on the index and middle fingers for better grip and touchscreen-compatible fingertips for interaction with a navigation system or using a smartphone. When choosing off-road gear for your hands make sure that the cuffs can be securely and quickly closed without causing discomfort. We offer a wide variety of options of different styles and color schemes so that you can easily find the pair that matches your apparel perfectly.
