Sliding Gloves

[Mile_High_Mark]

Re-stocks of the Gravity sliding gloves are expected in today or tomorrow. We're also going to be offering the Bozi slide gloves in the near future. Quantities of the Timeship Bear Paws are limited, but we'll re-stock those this week or next.

Awesome man, I want gravity gloves almost as much as lush gloves, now those are sweet!

Updates...

No Gravity gloves. Sold out again. Damn.

Motions I can get. But, in order for it to be cost effective, I need to order some of their decks, too. Since the Crails are selling pretty quickly, however, I could probably plan on ordering just those and add the gloves to the mix.

Hope to have some of Bozi's gloves soon.

And philo, The 187 kneepads are amazing for the price. Ms boot would probably be well served by them, but I still haven't figured out the sizing, yet (I'm probably a 'large'). The ladderlock buckles on the bottom strap should keep them in place during some nasty bails or knee slides.

good deal. if you're planning to get some motion gloves, give me a heads up so i can get you my size info.

let me know when you figure out sizing on the 187s, we'll make our pad order.

also, how do you like the 187 elbows compared to the tsg force ii elbows?

I need to do a side-by-side comparison, but the 187 elbows are better than expected, and have more padding than the photos indicated. A little short(er), but pretty nice.

cool. keep me posted. maybe the shorter 187s will be better for her and the bigger ones would be better for me.

how long does a glove usually last, not just the plates but the glove itself? if anyone has anything on this tell me.

I love my motion gloves the only thing I wish they was renforced fingers I but I can fix that. Its really nice that you can flip the pucks around to stop crazy wear on one side. its been pretty helpful. If I couldn't flip the pucks I might of needed some new gloves by now.

I don't know if I should ask in here or somewhere else but what is the difference between homemade gloves (thick cutting board) and manu's gloves?

I have a set of lush gloves that are nine months old (constantly worn), very worn but still usable. I would expect them to last another year with repairs,. Maybe six months without. The lush gloves are vey thin material, don't take that to mean cheap they are high quality but intended as a close fitting breathable glove so if you drag your hand wrong you can burn holes in them.

I have a set of gravity half palm that are nine months old (constantly worn) very little wear they will last another year no problem.

The full finger G gloves should last as long if you don't allow the fingers themselves to drag. You don't want the foam backing to open up thats the only weak point.

The motion gloves will last a long time a year or more, more even if you secure the fingertips. That seems to be their only weak point.

I can not imagine the Bear Paws lasting less than a year. They are very durable.

Manu gloves usually have higher quality UHMW than you find in cutting boards and some of them have slide specific benefits. Such as...

Gravity has thick wrist straps for support
Montion you can rotate the puck
Lush has a snot wipe on the wrist
Bear Paws can handle being worn with wrist gaurds
