    Default Mountain Bike Gloves as Slide Gloves?

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if a pair of gloves like these: One Industries would work as sliding gloves. Obviously I'd put some high-density pads on them.

    Has anyone tried them? I can get them for about 15 dollars and look way cooler than working gloves.

    Thanks for your opinions!

    they work great! i used a set for about 8 months last year!
    Blue stickers are only given to the select few people to suck adam coltons balls, and do it skillfully enough to give him blue balls. Thus resulting in the giving of the rare Blue Loaded Sticker.
