Many street riders don’t like the feel of a full-length glove while out cruising around. If you are one of those riders but you feel you need the hand protection similar to a top end glove, then the GPX is for you. The PU knuckle protection has a dual purpose: 1). to protect the knuckles and 2). to vent the top of the hands so it stays cool on hotter days. Fingers get the same level of roll over protection with a 3rd-4th finger bridge. If, by chance, the rider goes down, a secure Velcro strap will help keep the glove on to avoid the dreaded road rash. It may be a short street glove but it is definitely not short on performance features.
