These features and simple construction make the LA DND Glove the favourite among dirt jumpers and trail riders alike.
Features
Flex Zones: Carefully integrated into select Giro full-finger glove patterns in order to allow the glove to mimic the hand's natural articulation without bunching or binding. The result is a glove with a lighter, more natural feel that enhances comfort and control.
Super Fit Engineering: A proprietary process that guides the fit, design and patterning of every Giro glove for maximum comfort and performance. By carefully tailoring the palm, fingers and padding zones to match the shape and size of the hand, Super Fit Engineering reduces bunching and discomfort while enhancing grip, bar feel and the effectiveness of the padding. And with as many as six sizes available per model, almost any rider can great pair of gloves to match their needs.
Technogel: Technogel® is a proprietary polyurethane material originally designed for medical applications. Giro use Technogel for the padding in their premium gloves because of its superior pressure distribution characteristics. When pressed between the glove and handlebar, Technogel molds itself to the hand by deforming along all three axes. Normal padding materials tend to deform only along one axis which causes pressure to accumulate in the direct contact zones. Giro gloves with Technogel provide: Superior pressure distribution - up to 300% better than standard gel, for enhanced comfort and protection from numbness over long periods of time. Excellent impact absorption - up to 30% better than standard gel, for protection from shocks and vibrations. Long-lasting performance - it does not harden or break down over time, so the glove stays supple and comfortable mile after mile.
Three-Piece Palm Construction: Giro's unique 3-piece palm construction tailors the fit of their gloves to reduce bunching, and allows your hands to move naturally for enhanced control that doesn't compromise bar feel. By designing each part of the palm to mimic a hands features and articulation, Giro gloves increase grip and provide a superior level of protection for the entire hand.
Touchscreen Technology: Capacitive touchscreens found on most mobile devices like the iPhone react to natural bio-electricity in your skin. By combining a conductive fiber into the fingertips of select Giro gloves, you can stay connected to your mobile device without removing your gloves.
