Riding gloves... help me pick a good set

[jbes3]

So, when I ride, my thumb gets all cramped up from holding the throttle... I wear gloves, but the ones I had made it worse. I thought I saw some with a special pad or gel in the thumb to help reduce the stress on my thumb. Help me pick a nice set of gloves.... What do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

the gloves wont help much. you need to either get a twist throttle, or a thumb throttle extender. or cut your spring. i guess four makes atv specific stuff though. you could try them. but i still dont think they will help much.

I use SIX SIX ONE gloves....Look up the fix to ease the throttle lever up on here... It's been posted many of times.

I like my Thor's. I would have to say grab one of those grip exercisers and make that thumb stronger

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the twist throttle, sometimes it'll pull when you don't want it to, like if you slip back on it

I dont think gloves will help your problem. Like iceman said you need to either get a twist or an extender for your throttle.

a pair of MJ's gloves will take care of your problems.

That just keeps you honest. Actually I've been riding twist throttle since I was a kid (grew up on dirtbikes) and I've never hit the gas unintentionally on the shee. Its just a matter of getting used to keeping your wrist rigid when you ride.
