Durable enough for freeride without feeling like a boxing glove on the smooth single track Fox Racing Dirtpaw Race Gloves are built on years of experience so that you are connected to the bike and feel comfortable on the trail. Fox starts off easy , breathable upper and then uses a lightly padded Clarino synthetic leather palm to reduce hand and wrist fatigue on endless stretches of rock-covered mud. It also reinforces the back and cuffs with direct injection rubber to provide additional protection for vulnerable areas during accidents. Neoprene knuckles and silicone fingertips provide plenty of freedom of movement when maneuvering on tight trails , and the Velcro fastener securely fixes them without distracting from competition day seating issues.
