You never really think about your riding gloves until you need to. The point of contact with your hands and your grips and the bars is so very important, but it doesn’t take up a whole lot of room in your mind. When you lose your grip, it becomes a very real thing very quickly, and if that happens, you pretty much have to make sure that it never happens again. This is where the Leatt Men’s GripR 1.0 mountain bike gloves come in handy. Built with a light weight construction and grippy palms, these gloves are like a second skin for your hands on your bike, allowing you to tackle more challenging terrain and longer rides than you ever thought possible. The FormFit finger stitching is about as comfortable and minimalistic as it gets, creating a very true to form feel when you grab the bars. They’re light because of this, as the Leatt glove makers don’t have to waste any material—it's more like it’s a part of your hand. Nice features like a MicronGrip palm and touch screen compatibility gives these gloves a much higher-end feel to them, and gives you more bang for your buck. The Leatt Men’s GripR 1.0 mountian bike gloves are the perfect choice for great grip and a light weight feel.
