Hatch ShearStop Cycle Glove

Are you looking for something else than those funny-looking cycling gloves with neon colors and banana logos? Do you like shooting guns and other tactical stuff? Here’s a pair of bike gloves that say you ride hard, and if the situation calls for it, you send it even harder. LiquiCell gel padding on the palms means that even after a long ride, your hands won’t feel like pincushions when you dismount. And in all black, of course.

• LiquiCell gel padded palms
• Stretchy Lycra on the backside for that good fit and feel
• Terry cloth on the thumb helps with ventilation, and you can also wipe your tears with it
• Faux leather pads on the palm for added grip
• You can use a cellphone or perform other fiddly tasks while wearing these
• Hook and loop closure on the wrists

USE

These gloves are for everybody moving on two wheels, be it a bike patrol, a messenger, or the road warrior. The gel sacs embedded in the palms shield your hands from the pressure and stress of leaning to and gripping the handles. Because the fit is snug, you can operate a smartphone, write notes, have fun with handcuffs, and handle a firearm. They are also good for everyday bike trips, especially when the weather gets a bit colder and you’d like some light gloves on your fingers.

Even though you can operate firearms with these, it is not their primary function. The gel cushioning makes getting a tight grip on guns, especially pistols, a little bit harder, so we suggest buying, e.g., a pair of our Mechanix. gloves for shooting. Also, these are not your thick work gloves for digging those secret underground shelters or other hard physical labor.

LIQUICELL

The specialty of these gloves is the small gel-filled pouches on the glove’s palm. It’s basically like those slime-filled sacs (not those sacs!) that cushion the joints in our bodies. The gel has limited mobility between the pouches, so it doesn’t clump. It provides cushioning against pressure and eases the numbness caused by long-term gripping by helping blood flow and protecting the soft tissues and nerves in your hand. Pretty handy when you have to hold on to stuff, like handlebars, for extended periods.

SIZE INFO

We have these in three sizes. Even though the fit is snug, the material is stretchy, so you can just pick the one nearest your size. If you are unsure or have long guitarist fingers, pick the larger one.
