Muni gloves

I like the versatlity of wearing gloves and wrist guards
separately,because I don't always wear my wrist guards, but I ALWAY
wear gloves. Speaking of which, I found a great glove that's both
lightweight, and has "armour" on it as well to absorb impacts. Leather
on bottom, nylon mesh on top. They cost about $30 and are available at
REI. I love mine, and my wrist guards fit over them easily.

What type of wrist guards do you wear? I have some that I put my hand
"through" and I'm now in a bit of a bind for finding decent gloves
that'll be small enough to find it them without having to buy new wrist
protection as well as gloves.

I use the KH gloves and I realy like them much !!!
I also give them away to a friend who lost his gloves. He smiles about
the KH gloves but after one week of riding with the KH gloves he decide
to buy some for himself 🙂
They are very comfortable. Maybe the Quality could be better but as I
know, they still improved it.

Has anybody used the KH gloves available on UDC?? I am thinking of new
gloves and like the wrist guard idea(thinking rollerblading wrist
guards). Also, wondering about sizing. Any input would be welcome.

For some reviews of the old KH design (looks like what UDC has), check
here:

The wrist guard on the Pulse gloves is minimal - there is no plastic
insert, just a tight wrap of canvas that helps stiffen the wrist. The
palm does have extra padding, however.

For sizing, check this chart:
http://www.walkabout.com/shop/size_glove.asp

It seems fairly accurate for general glove sizes.

I do the same thing as Terry - separate wrist guards and gloves. I'm
looking for something a lot more durable though...I've started
destroying a wrist guards and gloves on a monthly basis.

i don't like too much padding in my gloves so i use 661 dirt jumping/bmx
gloves. full fingered and not too bulky.

I have the pulse gloves, and I'd give them a 7 out of 10.

Pros: full-fingered, feel like my MTB gloves, reasonable wrist support
Cons: limited sizes (L barely fits me, but it's as big as they get),
hot, not the prettiest

I bought these because I wanted full-finger protection, something not
available with my 888 wrist guards (can't get them on if I have gloves
underneath). I was getting some blisters from my seat handle when
hopping, which prompted me to try the KH gloves. They were worth the
money, but will no doubt improve over time.
