Are you one of those riders who prefers to ride gloveless? Is your name Samuel Blenkinsop? What if you could have that precise no-glove feel, but with a glove? Huzzah! Enter the Dakine Thrillium Bike Gloves. Designed in collaboration with Graham "Aggy" Agassiz, the Thrillium Gloves feature a durable leather palm and a four-way stretch build that will hug your hand for full dexterity and bar control.
Who's this item for: The focus is on gravity style riders (DH, Freeride, Enduro) but these gloves are for anyone who is after a 'gloveless' bar feel.
Palm Style: Pittards goat leather palm. Yes, that Pittards, the 200 year old, world class, leather experts Pittards. The leather palm of the Thrillium Gloves are both durable and tactile.
Materials: The gloves feature a lightweight, moisture wicking, 4-way stretch shell, that is stitched into the Pittards goat leather palm. A Polygiene odour control technology has been used throughout the construction to help keep the funk at bay. The tech specs of the materials are:
- Shell: 45% Polyester 30% Nylon 18% Spandex 7% Polyurethane
- Palm: 100% Goat Leather
Additional Protection: No additional protection, this is a minimalist glove that provide a very close to the bars feel.
Closure or Slip-on: These are a slip-on style glove. They have a nice little feature to aid with this. The goat leather palm extends into the cuff so when you are putting on your gloves you are pulling on the palm and not any kind of seams that might separate in time.
Touch Screen Compatible: Nope. You are headed out to enjoy the wilderness. Enjoy it.
Sweat Wipe Included: There is a microfleece nose wipe which can be used as a sweat wipe.
Pros: Pittards leather. The palms of these gloves should last for hundreds of rides.
Cons: Not touchscreen compatible so you will have to remove your gloves to text your mum back.
