Slide Gear

Post by Leonardo Ojeda » Tue Sep 17, 2002 5:29 pm

I am a happy user of the slide gears, they work perfect for slalom.
the detachable puck its an easy process to do it and won't make you loose your concentration after the start.

Best part is that they are light and they can be customized with decals, paint or whatever you have in mind.

Hey Leonardo!

What kind of gloves are these?

Maybe you can give us a e-mail or web address so that others will know which gloves you are talking about.

I don't use slide gloves, yet...

Thank you for posting the information.

Alan, Is it possible to get the Poly-Tipped Kevlar Glove with built in pads or slide-gear? Looking for something similar to my old worn out Rector Palm Padded gloves.

Thanks for your help. I eagerly await your response.

Someone needs to start making gloves just like it. The padded palm and elastic velcro wrist provided the perfect ammount of protection.

There are some very nice gloves made for inline skaters out there that can be easily fitted with sliding blocks. they are comfortable and well made, as well as have good support for the wrist; have found them in full finger and half finger styles..
