    Default Fall today and question on 888 anti-gloves

    Quick story, riding to work today on my daily commute downtown. long drawn out but not steep hill, a car pulls close to me so i react and move over to the side of the road where I didn't see a bunch of leftover salt or gravel leftover from winter and drifted sideways, recovered for the most part but had to run off, was going a bit too fast so i rolled to save what i could. Still ended up hitting my hands, a but of knee and some damage to the backpack, all manageable. Yes, I had on my helmet but didn't even have to use it. In any case I am glad that I still have the roll maneuver down as I just got right back up and kept rolling along without any damage to my slacks and and whatnot.

    In any case this was a good reminder that I should get some sort of wrist protection as its a bit sore. I want something that I will be able to wear under my 888 slide gloves when i am rocking those and was looking at the 888 anti-gloves but I don't see many reviews from anyone on those here. So, anyone rocking those gloves? Do they fit well and offer decent protection? Hopefully someone will have some insight.

    You should definitely make your own gloves with Mechanix/CLC/Gardening Gloves and the best home-made slide pucks on here - Black Velvet Slide Pucks.
