Riding gloves

Diznei said:

*I see that a lot of people wear gloves when they unicycle. Are they a
special kind of gloves, like cycling gloves? I find that hopping
really does a number on my hands and I figure gloves would be great to
stop that. *

I personnaly have 2 pairs of gloves. One is just a pair of Bell cycling
gloves from walmart, and the other is a thicker pair for when its really
cold outside.

Your basic full-figered cycling gloves are great for the job.

You are asking about 'Wrist guards' (http://tinyurl.com/6trqp). I use
Harbingers. When it is cold I put on a a pair of XXL
fleece/windprotectors gloves over them.

Iron Clad gloves which are available at some local hardware stores are
great gloves. They come in many styles. Cold weather, fingerless, etc. I
use the General Utility gloves for mechanical work. They offer lots of
protection, but allow me to pick up screws with them. I believe that Ace
hardware carries them. They would be ideal as riding gloves.

I bought a pair of gloves right after I crashed on rough pavment for the
first time, it tore up my palm, I just got some really nice looking
motocross gloves, I got motocross gloves because I used to ride, and I
knew a few things about them, they are well padded everywhere, and they
keep your hands cool, and allow lots of circulation even though they are
body fit, its a must have for motocross because of the severe arm pump.
And it works very well for uni too.

i prefer long fingered downhill or dirt jumping gloves without the
padded palm of normal cycling gloves. that part always seemed bulky and
got in the way on the uni. most downhill gloves also have padded
backs/knuckles which helps off road when you run into stuff.

Do the wristguards get in the way ever? I would think they'd be pretty
bulky.
