Features:
The Sector 9 Downhill Division Lightning Slide Gloves are high-end leather gloves for aggressive downhill skateboarding. The Lightning Gloves feature integrated knuckle reinforcement, palm padding, reinforced rubber fingertips and the new DD Lightning Pucks. The Lightning Gloves also include a carrying bag for easier travels.
The Testing:
In order to test these gloves, we hit up some hills in Brooklyn.
Results/Findings:
Pros:
These gloves offer some serious protection for your dainty digits. Our favorite things about the Sector 9 Lightning Gloves are the grippy fingertips and short cuff length. There’s plenty of mobility to allow for grabbing and quick hand-related movements.
Cons:
In colder weather these gloves are an excellent choice. In warmer weather, however, they could be a bit too warm. But that’s just how it goes with leather protective gear.
Overall:
These are some top of the line slide gloves. They’re super durable, pretty much BADASS, and will be able to handle any kind of skateboarding you can throw at them.
