Landyachtz Slide Gloves?

**Eli.thecaptain** · 02-23-2009 06:56 AM

I'm thinking of getting a pair, any feed back or advice?

You wont regret buying them

Make sure you keep your fingers off the ground. I can't seem to do it but they will last slot longer if you can. Even with my heavy handedness they have lasted me sux months and look like they will hold up a while longer. Love how I have to freedom to grab rail comfortably unlike loaded or 888 gloves. Pick em up 4 sure

make your own, but get some black velvet slide pucks

They look really bulky. That's why I'm getting the mudslides made with Mechanix gloves, which fit like a real glove should.

Have you ever looked at them? They're the most low profile glove available...

They're alright for the price. The fingers get torn to shreds, so I would duct tape them before using them. The pucks are mediocre too...

If they're your first pair they'll get you going..

Just use hockey tape and make a pair last a year

they look pretty simple and tough but i'd take em over any other glvoe on the market except for maybe a 888 because they look sick

They are great for speedboarding because the leather lets you grip your board.
If your wearing them for a while your hands turn yellow haha.

I don't know if you've ever worn mechanix but they fit like no other.

Yellow hands are a bummer.

**Irish_** · 02-24-2009 09:00 AM

yeah my first homemade pair of slide gloves look just like these and let me tell you that deer skin leather makes your hands yellow if you sweat at all. really though i dono why anyone buys slide gloves when you can make the exact same thing for sooooo cheap.

Try to find a glove with knuckle protection. It sucks to have the skin off your knuckles missing.

I once saw a ligament in a friend's hand because he took a spill and the road tore through his glove. If it had gone any further he would have been unable to use his finger.

Na, it's cool. It's the cattle herder look.

what dimensions are the pucks? I'm making my own gloves and I want an idea of the size.

**loug** · 02-22-2010 10:36 AM

bump

just ordered a pair. looks good for the price

**MountainmeetSky** · 02-22-2010 01:20 PM

Yeh I have a pair:

Pros:
Fair price
Pucks are ok.
low profile (great for my earthwing supermodel)

Cons:
Nothing beats the whole Corian & garden gloves

Fingers aren't really protected, but they are double bound so they can take a bit more of a beating
No Yellow

If you got Qs I can prolly help ya

Dewf the best commercially avaialable glove. They fixed the yellow hand issue. Mechanix are OK, but the second that backside hits the ground at speed thy're shreded...

**loug** · 02-22-2010 01:33 PM

wondering if double sided carpet tape and Kevlar strips might help with slide glove issues

They're ok, they're like the basic leather glove. Nice fit and stuff. Mechanix on the other hand are like heaven on your hand, which is why I happily ride mudslides down hills now.
