Don't be a clown and think you won't go down, because if you haven't stacked your bike yet we'll make you a bet. It's scary but true; The pavement will come calling, and when it does...you're definitely falling.
But don't be a dweeb and crash in tweed, because proper gear is the mod of the year. So ditch grandma's gardeners because in a crash they won't prevent rash. Instead, step-up to some proper paw protectors. Whether it's leather or textile, long or short, a good glove is a great investment. So don't be like the other fools, remember to wrap your tools.

Beg
Timax TRX Long
$175
Long ain't wrong because full-length gives you strength. Hot in the streets with hi-buck hide and titanium plates, these are made for the win but keep your wallet slim. If money ain't a thang then the TiMax is the big bang.
Buy
Merc Short
$80
Carbon is cool and hide is hot but the Merc is a thrilla because it ain't heavy skrilla. True we rhyme like we get paid a dime but maintaining your mitts never gave your account less fits. It's a glove you're sure to love.
A Steal
Twenty-Niner
$29
Save your scratch without a catch because Icon is keepin' it cool by rockin' it old skool. Killin' the concept that cheap is weak, Icon proves that a little cash can still save your ass.
