Review on ๐Ÿงค 1-Pair of Triple Eight Slide Gloves for Downhill Skateboarding, Ideal for Downhill Longboarding by David West

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nothing to fault. Save your hands, take them.

Fits my large hand. You can use finger glides to avoid damaging the material on your fingers, but with practice you will be able to keep your fingers off the concrete and you will have more dexterity in your hands without them if you don't slip or get slower. I'm very glad I got it, made me feel a lot more confident. When I fall, I always go with my hands first, so sliding pucks take quite a bit of impact force, and then you're on your knees, arms, and hips that need their own protection. Even if you don't plan on getting into the slide, I believe every longboarder should wear these or something similar to stop yourself on a hill that's a lot faster than you thought.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
