Skate Protection Gloves

Longboarders practising slides, downhill riders and any skater learning new tricks. Gloves help prevent scraped palms and wrist injuries common during falls.

There are slide gloves with removable pucks for longboarding, fingerless gloves with wrist support for aggressive skating, and padded gloves that combine shock absorption with flexibility.

Quality gloves maintain a balance between protection and grip. Some models use textured palms or fingerless designs to allow dexterity without sacrificing safety.

Common materials include leather for durability, Kevlar for abrasion resistance and breathable mesh for comfort. Wrist wraps use elastic bands and Velcro for adjustable support.
