The wider the handlebars and the narrower the trails become, the greater the risk that your hands will come into contact with obstacles on the trail. The MT500 gloves help you recharge by not compromising the feel of the handlebars while providing the much-needed impact protection for your hands. The gloves are durable and flexible. The breathable 4-way stretch ripstop material on the back and the unpadded synthetic leather palm fit perfectly to your hand, allowing for maximum connection to the handlebars. A barely noticeable feel that offers strong protection.
