    Getting a bit tired of hurting my fingers and hands and could do with something that will help reduce crush and bending back injuries. I’ve seen some quad biking ones but don’t know has flexible they are.

    The other alternative would be to stop falling off, but where is the fun in that?

    OK… to be more helpful, what are you trying to avoid – the bending your wrist backwards thing? Armoured usually means protecting from impact – eg the carbon fibre knuckle guards

    just trim your bars down a bit.

    Probably easier than trying to smash the ends off them.

    what are they? 760mm or something daft like that?
    even with armoured gloves, twatting a post is still going to hurt.

    760? Nobody is actually riding bars that narrow, are they?

    Maybe, but it has to help.

    I’ve just been for a slash and it looked like “Little Harry” was being held by this guy.

    I’ve used Thor Spectrum gloves for a few years, a good compromise between bulk and protection.

    I have those oakley gloves issued to me, great for protecting knuckles from scrapes and stuff but no good for protecting you from bending your fingers back and things like that.

    i used to have some old kona cowan gloves that had a had pad over the last 2 knuckles. they were ace. not seen any like em for ages though.

    i`m always smacking my outside 2 knuckles/fingers. bloody trees dont move fast enough.

    Alpinestars supermoto gloves are pretty good for knuckle protection but still have a nice thin palm for feel.
