Longboard Slide Gloves

If you’re doing slides on a longboard, then slide gloves are an absolute must! Because the right slide gloves not only protect your hands against unpleasant abrasions but also help you to better coordinate your slides. You can easily shop high-quality slide gloves from top brands like Sector 9, Lush, Bam Bam Skate, Loaded and Landyachtz online in the skatedeluxe Skate Shop.

Why Do I Need Slide Gloves?

As a longboarder, as soon as you start hitting curves at high speeds, you should be considering slides. In order to keep your hands presentable and intact, slide gloves should be a key part of your standard equipment, especially for freeriding and downhill.

The higher the speed in the curve, the lower you have to lean into the slide. In order to stabilize your body, so as not to slip out of the curve, you’ll need to rely on your hands, which glide on the ground while you slide.

What exactly are slide gloves?

Slide Gloves are gloves made of very high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials such as leather or neoprene, which are additionally equipped with durable and interchangeable pads or pucks on the palms. Thanks to extra reinforced finger areas, your hands are fully protected.

Slide Glove Wear & Tear

Considering the extreme burden that your slide gloves have to endure, some wear and tear are inevitable. To keep you from having to throw your slide gloves directly into the trash, in the skatedeluxe Skate Shop, we offer pucks and pads as spare parts, which you can easily exchange. That way, you can keep your slide gloves even longer and as soon as you have worn down your pucks, you can just throw on a couple of fresh ones.
