MX and Enduro gloves at Maciag Offroad

When things get wild on the track, you need to have your nerves and especially your bike firmly under control. High-quality MX and Enduro gloves give you maximum grip, protect your hands in falls and offer riding comfort thanks to ideal padding. We'll show you what motocross and enduro riders should look out for in MX gloves and which variants are available. The Gloves are off is the word when it comes to action. For motocrossers: The Gloves are on!

What makes motocross gloves special?

When motocrossing, every rider should wear gloves in any case. This makes the handling of the grips more comfortable and also protects your hands from minor abrasions. A safe, complete MX equipment includes helmet, goggles, protectors, boots and gloves. MX gloves are designed for flexibility and good ventilation. They must not only provide you with an ideal grip, but also fall and impact protection through stable material. Popular suppliers for robust MX gloves are in our shop FOX, TROY LEE DESIGNS, ALPINESTARS, FLY RACING and O'NEAL. Gloves for road use, on the other hand, are usually made of a very strong material such as leather, as falls on asphalt can quickly cause injuries to hand and ankles. These are not so well suited for motocross and enduro sports, as the material makes them less flexible and breathable.

What material are MX gloves made of?

Enduro gloves must offer both comfort and protection. They are made of robust, stretchable materials, which can be single or multi-layered depending on the comfort and protection requirements. In addition, MX gloves have knuckle and finger protection through protector pads made of foam, gel or silicone. Comprehensive padding not only protects you from injuries, but also from blisters and abrasions. For more demanding routes, you can choose gloves with plastic caps that can protect your fingers and ankles from breaking in an emergency.

With robust, tear-resistant functional materials such as leather, imitation leather and mesh netting made of polyester and nylon, you maintain optimum mobility and have a strong, secure cushioning in the event of a fall. Breathable fabrics also provide moisture protection and air circulation.

Optimum grip through gel, foam or silicone

The palms of the hands are usually perforated and provided with silicone surfaces or prints. This makes them anti-slip and offers best grip. The padding absorbs impact forces during rough passages. Highly stressed areas, such as those between thumb and index finger, are reinforced with additional mesh fabric.

Special interior textures use TruFeel silicone technology, which gives you a better feel and natural handlebar control. Because smartphones can save lives in accidents and every second counts, some manufacturers incorporate conductive fibers into the fingertips of their Enduro gloves. So you don't have to take your gloves off, even if you just want to change songs or quickly write a message during your Enduro tour.

MX gloves for every season

Since you probably don't only take your Enduro bike out of the garage in summer, the question arises with 30 degrees in the shade or icy winter winds: Summer or winter gloves? Or maybe both? For the summer both short and long fingered gloves are suitable. Both variants rely on air-permeable and breathable fabric so that you don't sweat so quickly on your hands.

There are a number of options for the winter. MX gloves made of fleece and soft-shell fabric protect your hands from the cold, are wind- and water-repellent and at the same time breathable. If you don't want to get off your bike even in the middle of winter, it's best to wear motocross gloves with integrated synthetic layers of wind-, moisture- and cold-resistant membranes. These include Gore Windstopper, Gore-Tex and Euro-Tex.
