But, if we’re to believe what we read on the internet here’s what one accidental crash test dummy commented:
“I put these gloves to the test and slammed into the ground on a low side after locking the front brake on what appeared to be oil or antifreeze. I hit palms down and slid for at least thirty five feet before slamming into an embankment.
The palm armor took the brunt of the slide and the protective qualities of the gloves remained unaffected. The leather and seams remained solid. The plastic wings on the top of one of the gloves was smashed and the rubberized exoskeleton took a major hit and was abraded.
My hands were completely fine after the incident and considering the gloves took some repeated slides and hits, I was shocked at how well they held up. Solid product and I would buy them again in an instant."
So, are these the best gloves in the world?
Well unless someone can show us something better the Handriod's would be well placed for that award if there was one.
The Handroid gloves have won us over. Initially when we looked at them there was a degree of skepticism but that passed quickly. The level of comfort is superior to many of the other gloves we’ve used over the years and the added protection can never to down-played.
A big Exoskeletal thumbs up for these!
