Advantage of wearing gloves

What are the advantages of wearing gloves while riding?

 

[brandoz28]

A.) protection

B.) if they have kinda padded palms it takes some buzz out of your hands

if your riding with friends with bikes like me, they help protect your hand from your buddies who think its funny to roost you. or if your riding really fast at dusk or whatever, they help protect your hands from bugs. i havent had that problem with the quad but i do on my bike

They give me a better grip. They help with my calouses on my palms as well. I usually get a pair thats tight and then wash them to make them tighter. They feel good that way.

Blister are ghey. Also, padded palms are the BUSINESS. If u havent tried them, u truly are missing out. I wear my raven paintball gloves that have two pads on each palm and they really make a long session bearable on ur hands, whereas without them i could only ride full tilt for about ten mins.

They feel good, give you more grip, help on longer rides, and when you go plam first into the dirt you'll be very happy to have them on.

Fox is over priced and gehy but their mx glove kick ass! I had a pair for years and took many crashes with them.. never ripped or anything.

Mine are Fly Racing. Protection from rocks, bugs, and blisters is why you want them.

i have honda motorcycle gloves, cloth on top and leather on the palm and they have lasted for a long time and have taken plenty of crashes and they hold up great. but they cost like 50 dollars for a pair.
