Short-cuffed, ventilated travel gloves for adventurous riders Although the Sand 5 gloves have been designed to complement the Sand 5 H2O outfit, these lightweight and breathable gloves have also become the go-to gloves for a large audience of adventure riders across the globe. The next stepAs with every evolution of a staple product in our collection, there are certain aspects that we like to zoom in on and improve yet leave other characteristics like functionality and purpose untouched. With the Sand 5 gloves, that was fit and comfort. As one of the top-selling gloves in our collection, we already knew we had a winning recipe. We just wanted to make it even better.A balanced recipeA short cuff along with a combination of leather and 3D air mesh make up the majority of the Sand 5 gloves’ composition. We then match it with top-tier features like a new TPR injected knuckle protector that allows for even more dexterity and flexibility, TPU thumb and palm protection, a TPR little finger protector, wrist bone protection, a tri-fleece lining (for added comfort), goat stay-soft leather and a grip panel on the inside of the hand, and much more. The Sand name has a legacy to uphold, and this generation does their predecessors proud. Ventilation Ventilation holesFully ventilated 3D air mesh Lining Tri-fleece linerThis polyester tricot fabric is used for glove lining, and brushed to provide extra warmth without adding any bulk. The lining wicks moisture away, to prevent hands from getting damp. Closure Hook-and-loop closureElastic at wrist Flexibility Stretch fabric on back of handStretch at fingersStretch lips at fingersStretch at thumb Protective features TPU hard shell palm sliderPalm slider made of a durable and high abrasion resistant TPU material at the palm side of the glove. The palm slider makes sure that the glove slides in case the palm of the hand comes in contact with the asphalt. The abrasion resistance of gloves equipped with these sliders is greatly increased, thus reducing the risk of injury significantly. TPR injected finger knuckle protectorsTPR offers excellent resistance to impact, flex fatigue and tearing making it an ideal defensive material for knuckle protection. TPR parts are injected in the outer shell and allow freedom of movement.
