I can not stand not wearing gloves. My hands slip off. I got some new grips and they really help. Just wondering what people use.

i always wear gloves, you just need to find a nice pair of padded grippy ones and your set, the pair i have now is really nice and i slip more without them on, not to mention i've stopped ripping my calisus open Frown .

personnaly I'd rather not wear gloves ( loike to feel the grips )
But the calases(the hard things that grow on your hand) start to really build up and plus when u wipe out without gloves it could stop u riding for liek a few days
so I wear gloves but prefer not ot haha

I have to wear gloves, things get way to slippery once I get a little sweaty. Plus I really don't want to hit the ground without gloves, that's just begging for pain!

I only ride with gloves, I remeber I did DH practice the one day without gloves cause I lfet them at home and my hands were sliding around on the grips like crazy !! By the end of my run it was like I had oil on my grips. I went to the local bike shop and bought myslef some race face gloves they are great so now I got 3 pairs of the same ones, its not worth slipping off!
