Description
Active Hands’ soft racing gloves are manufactured from high quality and durable leather, rubber and Velcro. They have a large and forgiving pushing surface without the need and discomfort of an additional thumb pocket. The integrated pushing surface is a high friction but durable rubber. They’ve added internal padding between the fingers and the pushing surface for increased comfort.
Active Hands have priced their gloves to be a more cost-effective alternative to other soft gloves currently available. They have a different feel to gloves currently on the market but in tests wheelchair racers preferred them.
Active Hands’ soft wheelchair racing gloves come in three sizes: small, standard and large. See their size guide to find out which size will be best for you.
How do I put the gloves on?
- First, put your hand into the glove with two fingers on either side of the stitch line.
- Pull on hard then fasten the wrist strap tightly.
- Pull your hand into a fist shape using the tapered strap and fasten this strap to the velcro strip on the back of the glove.
- The 3rd strap is optional. If you wish to use it, pull down and fasten it to the Velcro on the back of the wrist strap to make the glove feel tighter. If you are not using it, you can cut it off with scissors or tuck it out of the way inside the palm.
