BMX Gloves

Understanding BMX Gloves

A pair of quality BMX gloves is essential for those engaged in BMX freestyle, racing, or dirt jumping. Crafted from durable materials like synthetic leather and polyester, these gloves are thin and flexible, offering full dexterity for fingers and thumbs while shielding your hands from injury during falls. The ideal BMX gloves will also feature grip-enhancing elements on the fingers or palms, which enhance your control over the brakes and handlebars, assisting freestylers with spins.

BMX bike gloves are equipped with additional features such as ventilation holes to prevent sweaty hands and reinforced thumb areas for increased longevity.

Selecting the Appropriate Size for Adult and Youth BMX Gloves

A well-fitting pair of BMX gloves is crucial for optimal comfort and control while on your bike. If they are too large or too small, you may lose the dexterity required for gripping, tricks, and braking. Sizes range from youth to XS - XL, and individual products generally include a size chart to assist with measuring. When initially worn, a new pair should be snug, but not overly tight, as they allow for some stretching over time. Some models also include a velcro closure for a superior fit.

Another common area prone to impact during falls is the knees. It is important to keep them protected, so be sure to explore our BMX Knee Pads.
