Title: Motocross Gloves
Post by: JP Morgen on December 24, 2015, 08:48:38 PM
Back in the good old days!! motocross gloves were made with "pre-cupped" palms so they wouldn't bunch up and cause problems. I don't ride often and have problems with bunching and blisters, anyone know of gloves made today with this feature? Thanks and happy holidays to all!

Thanks Dale, Mary Smith sells a similar product today, but I find any tape/wrapping to be too confining/constricting makes it all worse.

Hi JP,
Some Rolf Tibblin gloves for sale NOS on ebay now. I believe there is a company that reproduces the classic Hallman GP black and white gloves with the white V on the back (and don't turn your hands purple!) which I like alot which show up now and then on ebay. I think the company was Cosmic? and the seller was mlpowersports. Don't know of any modern re-pops of Jofa or other precurved gloves. Hope this helps keep the topic alive.

Hey JP, you might want to try wrapping athletic tape around your hand and fingers to stop the blisters. You can find it in most drug stores.....
