What Gloves Should I Get ?

Hey mate

I personally use Fox Inclines....at first they're a bit annoying,but give them a few hours riding and they're as comfy as anything

There are more trials specific gloves,it could be a case of going into a shop and trying them out

Make sure you get the right size though,bare in mind that they do stretch

Hope this helps

Hmm, depends really ;)

Hebo Trial Teams all the way. Seriously. Mine are 3 years old, and have a tiny hole in one finger, and don't stink like bitches, unlike how every other glove seems to go. They're the best designed gloves I've ever seen, and the best suited to riding trials. Really, really good gloves.

But yeah, when you fall off and have to put your hands down, I'd rather have a thin layer of Clarino or whatever they make palms out of these days take the gravel than my hands? :P

Those Hebos are great to wear when you're sorting your bike out on a cold, snowy morning too :P

Gloves are for pussies (N):P .

Gloves are for people with sweaty hands and don't want to lose grip on their bars ;)

To be honest, just go to your LBS and see what they have. I went and got some answer gloves, although they're probably downhill gloves, they suited me through winter just fine :)

You people obviously have no girl friends cause most girls don't like hard skin on you r hands. Plus it feels a lot better to not have hard skin. And gloves keep your hands warm and slightly more protected so just cause you don't wear gloves doesn't mean other riders are "pussies" for not wearing them... (N)

Thats their problem. And if you're getting told what kind of skin to have by your girlfriend you're obviously under the thumb too much. Personally if a girlfriend told me "oh no you're skin is too soft you've got to wear gloves" Id tell her where to go

I only wear gloves cos the winter was freezing my joints, now its starting to end I might not, or I might get some very thin gloves to stop sweating on the grips :)

Just ride without gloves and your hand's will harden up. It feels 100% better without them (Y)

Does feel sooooooo much better without, but i have dakine cross x because the fabric around the fingers is very thin and has little rubber grip on index fingers for extra brake lever grip (Y) .

hope this helps you.

Ok for starters NO gloves i have ever worn have stopped callous's (sp?) because the fact is if you hand rubs on the grip it will rub on the glove so its really inevitable. And yes i have tryed many gloves 661, fov and some softer compound mongoose 1s.

i only bother riding with gloves on a big ride where im going to ride a lot as i have supreemly clammy hands and water on rubber doesnt go nicely.

just personal prefrence. i always forget to wear them because i always run out riding wen someone knocks bepends if i pre plan or anything

but in the end you get calous's get some nail sissors and cut them off and if you really want "oooooh darling your hands are so lovely and soft urrrmmmmmm yea i like em!" rubb some moistiriser or summink you poof!!!

i always have minging hands AND it have a fit gf. nothing wrong with a bit of rough. :P
