Review on 🧤 Enhance Hand Protection with Hillbilly Full Finger Wrist Guard Gloves by Mike Johnston

I was the crash test dummy for these gloves. I decided to unicycle and figured I could probably use a few drops, so I donned protective armor: helmet, hip pads, knee/shin and ankle pads, elbow pads, and rustic gloves. I figured my wrists would be the least of my worries. I was wrong. You will land on your hands more than any other part of your body. I've been walking for a month, I train an hour a day. I've put more than 25 full-frontal Supermen on the pavement. When I first received the gloves, the spoon-shaped piece of plastic felt like overkill in my palm. Why such a big piece of thick plastic. My first falls answered that question. It glides over asphalt and minimizes sudden impacts by dissipating gliding energy. The glove also has a rear stiffener that prevents the wrist from bending backwards. A lot of the wrist guards I looked at don't have this back of hand protection. They should. If you're talking about the full finger and not the open finger version, use the full finger. My first few falls scratched my fingertips on the pavement. The double thickness skin on my fingertips meant I could still play the guitar that night. I've fallen so many times I've rubbed off the first layer of skin on my fingertips. I had electricians wrap tape around their fingertips to extend the life of the glove. Now I've also learned to smack my palms against the plastic slider as I fall and hold my fingers up. Three Velcro straps keep the glove secure when dropped, good design. After all the falls, the gloves are a bit worn but still fully functional. Looking at them I can only imagine what would have happened to my hands if I hadn't worn them, certainly traumatized. Of course there are always disadvantages with every purchase, even owning a Ferrari has disadvantages. The review that complained about black paint on hands after using gloves in a downpour may be true. I didn't find that to be the case as I wasn't using gloves in the rain. But I can say that when the gloves sweat profusely the color transfer is minimal and I find that it washes off with soap and water. And the gloves sweat. Double leather protection does not breathe well. I sprayed some Febreze on my gloves and stuffed them with paper towels to soak up the moisture after a hot session. But if you're looking for gloves with full hand/wrist protection that can keep you out of the ER or at least tweet on your phone after poking your nose in the sidewalk for a day, these bad boys should fit the bill. . I've already got a friend to buy a pair, along with all the other safety gear you'll need to minimize the hazards of learning to ride a unicycle. Take it off the crash test dummy, these gloves are worth it.
