Life Is Unpredictable:

I’m not trying to sound wise and all-knowing. Here, I’m referring to the elements that are a part of life – mainly roads and other riders and drivers.

There are a fair number of Indian roads which are full of bumps and craters.

No matter how experienced a rider you are, your bike may stumble because of a crater you couldn’t see or simply because a driver cut off you.

You will fall – it’s just a matter of when.

And when you do fall, you will need protective gears not just for your head and rest of the body, but also for your hands. Wearing a pair riding gloves will protect your skin and bones.

Motorcycle Riding Gloves Enhance Your Grip:

Riding Gloves Help You Protect Your Body Better:

It’s an instinct. When we’re about to fall, we will throw out our hands to help break the fall.

Your palms will absorb the shock of your fall. Now that’s a massive amount of body weight being concentrated on a very small portion of your hand.

So, if you don’t have your bike riding gloves on, you will damage your skin.

Remember, the riding gloves will always come with silicone or any other sort of gel padding.

Sometimes, even if you don’t fall, you may hit some bumps in the road, the impact of which will be felt on your palms and conveyed to your arms and shoulders.

Also, when your palms are covered, you’re protecting your hands from cuts and bruises which could become infectious when neglected.
