Triple Eight Downhill Longboard Slide Glove for Downhill Skateboarding (1-Pair)

I have been longboarding for over a decade now and i have used alot of slide gloves but i always come back to trip8 because they seem to be the most durable while still breathable. keep your fingers up when sliding! pucks last a nice long time and the velcro will still be sticky even after years and multiple pucks worth of use. These gloves are also perfect "Bail" gloves, lets just say your hands will thank you for falling with the gloves rather than without.

the pucks they come with are loud and thin, but the gloves themselves are quite nice.

When I got my freebord about 3 weeks ago, I immediately knew that I was going to need slide gloves. So I shopped a bit and I found these. I also found another pair by triple 8 with a finger and thumb puck as well, but I chose the more dexterous option.The puck does what it’s supposed to, slide, and provides just enough friction to create a point on which you can pivot. The fingertips are indeed Kevlar but it’s thin, and the thread retaining the Kevlar is not itself Kevlar. That being said, if the gloves are being used properly you won’t need them. The puck has hook Velcro on the back, and the gloves themselves have the loop pads on the palms. The palm side of all of the fingers are leather, however only the index finger of each glove has leather on the back as well. This gives the gloves breatheability that I quite like.I bought these as a protective measure for my hands, not as a platform for trick slides, and they have done this job nicely. The other gloves might be better for learning, as they won’t get ripped up as soon.

Gloves are very comfortable, mesh back so it breathes nicely. Only problem I had was after a couple uses I found if I accidentally hit the fingers on the ground while sliding they rip. If you have a problem with your fingers hitting the ground I'd suggest getting the gloves that have the palm and finger pads.

Fits my large hands. Could use finger sliders to avoid damaging the material on your fingers but with practice you can keep your fingers off the concrete and you have more mobility in the hands without them when you aren’t sliding or slowing down. Very glad I got these makes me feel much safer. When crashing I always go hands first so the slide pucks take a fair amount of impact force, then your onto your knees, arms and hips which need their own protection. Even if you don’t plan on getting fancy with sliding I feel every longboarder should wear these or similar to stop yourself on the hill that’s way faster than you thought it would be.

I've owned Blood Orange Knuckles and Sector 9 BHNC gloves, and these are definitely nice in comparison. The mesh back keeps the glove flexible and the leather is durable but not so thick that it makes wearing them uncomfortable. The puck is thin but heavy duty. Kevlar fingertips are always a plus if you're not gonna have pucks on your fingers. These are as nice as a good chunk of slide gloves out there but they're cheaper.

These gloves honestly ended up being much higher quality than I expected them to be. They are mad of a combination of leather, elastic/polyester, and kevlar woven polyester for the fingertips. The fingers are pretty thin, but they fit me decently well. They seem stiff at first, but they just need a bit of breaking in, and they start to get pretty comfortable.

Finger tips inner glove seem irregular, some have large hard seams, others are fine. A couple ,of the fingers very tight, other loose. Poor quality control for the price.

Muy buenos guantes, excelentes para freeride y Downhill.

Der rechte Handschuh hat einen kleinen Riss direkt am T8 Tag, der linke ist mängelfrei. Ich muss sagen, dass mir die L/XL Größe fast schon zu klein ausfällt. Die Nähte der Fingerkuppen graben sich unter die Fingernägel. Vom Gefühl würde ich den Handschuhen für Slides voll vertrauen.1 Stern Abzug nur für den jungfräulichen sich bereits auflösenden rechten Handschuh ansonsten Top.Ergänzung:-Die Fingerkuppen sind extrem schnell durchgeschliffenHabe mir noch ein paar andere bestellt mit Puks an den Fingern

This product is great. The reviews stating the gloves are tearing are from beginners that don't have experience using slide gloves. Keep your fingers off the ground just use the puck on the floor.
