Slide gloves are commonly used for downhill riding and sliding however they also act as a “helmet for your hands” in case you fall. The gloves are made with elastic to provide a flexible fit, reinforced Kevlar finger tips to avoid rips and a faux leather on the palm.
The gloves also come with plastic pucks used for putting your hands down while making a sharp turn. This allows weight to come off the board so the rider can drift and control speed.
