Hey, what’s going on guys? Welcome to another session of Essential Stuff. Today, the good folks over at Risk Racing sent us a couple pairs of their new Palm Protectors to review. Check it out!

Like I mentioned in the video, the Palm Protectors are mainly for motocross and trail riders who develop more blisters than us street riders. Believe it or not, the rough terrain can tear up the hands of even the strongest riders.

The Palm Protectors are a very thin, protective layer offering full coverage protection of the palm as well as the saddle area between the index finger and thumb. They also aid in reducing the dreaded “Arm Pump” by absorbing vibration transferred through the handlebars.

Worn under the gloves, I could hardly even notice the ultra thin Palm Protectors, but I did recognize the vibration reduction and much needed protection against blisters. Motocross racers, trail riders, and road racers alike can benefit from the Palm Protectors.

At $7.99 a pair via Risk Racing, you really can’t argue. Would you rather sit out rides till your palms heal? Or spend a bit of pocket change for some nifty protectors and push harder and further than your riding buddies? “Nuff said, right?

Stay tuned for more updates folks!
