VELOMACCHI SPEEDWAY GLOVES - TAN / BLACK

We see a lot of gloves come and go at the Urban Rider headquarters, so expectations were high when the Velomacchi shipment arrived here. Our suspicions were immediately confirmed: this glove sticks out from the pack, in a good way. First and foremost there's their looks: inspired by the hand built classic flat track and road racing gloves from the sixties and seventies the Speedway gloves have a very distinctive look to them that catches the eye and turns heads. Then there's their build quality: the palms are made from the softest deerskin leather for maximum comfort, control and dexterity. They have a goatskin back which provides excellent abrasion resistance, aided by the brass rivets on the hypothenar eminence (the karate chop part of your hand). The most eye-catching feature of the gloves serves a protective purpose too: the TPU dorsal guards provide high impact protection for fingers and hand. They also work amazingly as a visor or goggle wiper. The index finger and thumb tip are touchscreen friendly, so you can text while doing wheelies on your local high street (don't). A sturdy velcro wrist strap completes this glove and makes it an instant favourite around here!
