SixSixOne Gloves: Who needs mountain biking gloves anyway?

Gloves are sometimes an afterthought when you ride. They get lost or you forget them or drop one, but once you’ve taken ride without good cycling gloves, you won’t do it again. SixSixOne gloves are designed to help you maintain a strong, precise grip, to cushion the bumps and vibrations of even the hardest ride, and to protect your hands from rocks, branches, or falls. SixSixOne gloves are available in a number of styles and price points.

XSportsProtective Staff Picks for SixSixOne Gloves

XSports Protective is based in northeast Ohio, and when the cold winds and snow come off of Lake Erie, we reach for the SixSixOne Storm cold weather gloves. The Pittard digital leather palm is kind of sticky, so you can maintain control even if the grips get wet (cold=snow=wet). The SixSixOne Storm cold weather gloves also feature:

• Well-insulated for cold weather comfort
• Neoprene knuckle protection
• Terry cloth sweat/nose wipe

No discussion of SixSixOne gloves would be complete without a mention of the SixSixOne EVO gloves with d3o padding. D3o is a specially engineered material made with intelligent molecules designed to be viscous and malleable under normal conditions. This makes d3o padding very soft and comfortable against the skin. However, upon impact, these same molecules lock together and become rigid. In other words, when you take a spill, the d3o pads stiffen upon impact to absorb the shock instead of your hands. SixSixOne EVO gloves also feature:

• Neoprene wrist cuff with TPR closure
• Machine washable tough, synthetic leather and mesh construction
• Soft flexibility while riding and instant protection with internal d3o technology
• Reinforced thumb and finger tips
• Vented Clarino leather palm stays soft even after washing
