Gloves

My hands don't hurt, but lately its been colder and any time they hit
something it hurts. I was wondering what gloves you suggest for
winter?

In Moab last March Kris Holm had a pair of prototype combination
Gloves/Wrist Gaurds. He said they should be out soon but I have yet to
hear anything else about them, it sounds like this is what you need. If
anyone has any information about them I'd really like to know myself.
Thanks,
Zac

i've got a piar of 661 full finger dirt jumping gloves. they work great
for unicycling because they don't have the pad in the palm like bike
gloves and are full fingered. I highly recommend some for anyone.

Hi. I ride trials and srteet with a Kris Holm seat, but I've been having
blister problems. Also, when I hop seat-out my finger tips get banged
up. Should I get gloves? If so what type? I wear wrist gaurds and would
like to continue doing so. Thanks.

I use Harbinger Extreme Gloves 110G, and have reviewed them on my
website at <http://www.xs4all.nl/~klaasbil/unicycles.htm>. They're
half-fingered which means that for normal pulling on the seat you have
the leather to protect you but if your finger tips get hurt too they
would do much for that. I like it though that I can still manipulate
my camera, inclinometer and other stuff.

I figure it's pretty clear that offroad unicycling is a stupid thing to do - joemarshall

I had the same problem with my fingers when i first started hopping. I
dont know if it was due to the schwinn seat, or if it was due to the
fact that i was new to hopping so i held the seat tighter than i needed
to.

from the beginning of my 'unicycling carier' I have worn welding
gloves.
I am well avare that I am too protective but after having few of my
nails inverted that was my remedy.😄

I use Harbinger extreme gloves now but they don't seem to do the trick.
Usually my finger tips hurt the most.

if your finger tips hurt, get soem full fingered gloves. as i
recommended earlier, ones for bmx/downhill often don't have much for
padding on the palm which i don't think is needed while unicycling, so
they're less bulky, fit better, and protect your hands.

Use motocross gloves. No padding and excellent grip.
Just do it!

I use No Fear full finger gloves, cause I also use them for Dirt Bike
they work well for me.

I rode with Harbinger 110G skate gloves for awhile. I decided to switch
to full fingered gloves + wrist wrap after I gashed the side of my
thumbs and fingertips more than once.

Right now I'm using 661 Descend full-fingered gloves and a Harbinger
wrist wrap. For street I just use the gloves; I don the wraps for the
trails. 661 makes some wrist wraps, too, if anyone's looking into a
similiar setup.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'm going to try a setup like
Mandarin's.

Sears sells a few different brands including their own. I have a pair of
leather work gloves made by Dickies, also available at Sears that would
probably be perfect for Muni riding.

Ironclad makes several models of work gloves that are really terrific.
They protect your hands but still allow you to be able to pick up things
with them. Ironclad are available at some hardware stores or online. I
think that Ace hardware carries them.

So far, I've only used the above gloves on my job as an HVAC mechanic.
But with the cooler weather upon us, I will be getting a pair for
riding.
