BMX Gloves

Understanding BMX Gloves

For enthusiasts of BMX freestyle, racing, or dirt jumping, sporting a quality pair of BMX gloves is crucial. Designed to be thin and flexible, these gloves allow complete dexterity of your fingers and thumbs. They're crafted from durable materials like synthetic leather and polyester, ensuring hand protection in the event of a fall. Top-notch BMX gloves feature grip-enhancing elements on the fingers or palms, which improves brake and handlebar control and assists freestylers with spins.

BMX bike gloves also often include ventilation holes to prevent sweaty hands and reinforced thumb areas to provide extra durability.

Selecting the Correct Size for Adult and Youth BMX Gloves

A well-fitted pair of BMX gloves offers optimal comfort and control when riding your bike. Ill-fitting gloves may compromise the dexterity needed for gripping, performing tricks, and braking. Gloves are available in youth sizes and XS - XL, and individual products usually have a size guide to aid with measurements. Initially, a new pair should feel snug, but not exceedingly tight, as they will stretch over time. Some styles also feature a velcro fastening for an enhanced fit.

In the event of a fall, knees are another area often affected. It's important to ensure their protection, so have a look at our BMX Knee pads.
