Sneak Preview - Lush Freeride Gloves

We've been working on these for a while now - so we thought it was time for a sneaky peak!

BRIGHT RED!!!

This is essentially a development of classic Lush Slide Gloves from years past. We've gone for a lightweight, breathable construction, without as much armour as previous versions - if you want protection at 50mph, have a look at the Lush Race Gloves.

The thinking behind the glove is "a well fitted glove with less armour is much better than a badly fitted glove with a lot of armour." Over all our years of making Slide Gloves, we've found that a good, comfortable fit is probably the single most important factor in how well your gloves do their job. So we've had sure that this one has lots of stretchy stuff on the back for a snug fit, and we havn't piled on the protection as much to keep it light and flexible.

Finger pucks are back!

One feature a lot of you missed from the Race Gloves is the Finger Pucks - so we went back to them with this model. They're velcro'ed and removable like past gloves, and interchangeable with the Race Pucks too.

A big stretch panel on the back of the hand keeps these gloves really close fitting - be sure to get the right size for the best fit.

If you're an occasional hand dabber or dragging out the monster laybacks, this is an ideal, affordable alternative to making your own Slide Gloves. Available in all good Lush stockists by the end of November!
