Trees (which I hit a LOT) are no match for these. It's just so nice to have the added protection when I inevitably get a little sideways.

I don't like all the gloves with all the plastic or rubber protection on the top. It feels like the glove is hotter and heavier when it has all that. These are just simple. It's like the padding isn't even there.

Laughed out loud when I saw they were "protection" gloves. Sorry, maybe that makes me immature but it's just funny. They work damn good!

PRO PROTECTION FOR ROUGH TRAILS

Equipped with Smart Knuckle Protection that is pliable while riding but hardens under impact.

Additional Details

Why We Made the ProTection Glove

We try to steer clear of trees but there are some instances where your knuckles into a tree just have to happen. Whether that is trying to cut your way down an overgrown backcountry trail or just going too fast through some tight trees, we get it and we wanted to give you a glove with the added protection.

Building off our great fitting Pro Performance glove, we added extra fabric and a padded insert over the knuckles that stays soft and pliable until impact. Upon impact, the knuckle pad hardens to protect your hand before going back to being pliable and soft.

Punch a tree or steer around them, but the pad is there incase you need it.

Great gloves, short cuff

Durable, grippy, only reason I don’t give 5 stars is I wish the cuff was a bit longer on the wrist. Doesn't impact fit though.

Excellent gloves

Excellent gloves, but that should not be surprising. They took the already excellent Pro glove and added knuckle padding. If you are like me and your chosen way to **** up when riding is to unintentionally punch trees, these are the gloves for you.

I would like velcro closure on the wrists (with the straps closing on the palm side of the hand so I can stick the gloves together in the wash. The don't need it when wearing them though, the fit is perfect.

Dirt Bike Rider

I wear these gloves out riding dirtbikes and if you are in the desert chances are you smack your hand off a bush or two. These gloves hold up better than my parents condom and protect more than Trumps security. Only thing better would be wearing two, but we all know about friction… friction starts fires, and the desert aint no place to be doin’ that. I so highly recommend these gloves, Micheal Jackson could’ve wrote two more Thriller hits if he wore these.
