Racer High Racer White Glove

Racer High Racer White Glove

Racer understands fitting better than any other glove manufacturer. Their gloves are specially designed to always offer the perfect fit. Throughout their design, Racer gloves are continually checked to ensure that they meet the highest standards of performance, comfort and safety possible. The Racer High Racer is the evolution of the High End glove. This glove offers many of the same features as the High End but now includes Knox palm armor and carbon protection on the back of the hand. The biggest difference though, is that it is cut for a wider hand. This glove wants to be on the track, although it is equallt well suited to the road.

Features of the Racer High Racer White motorcycle glove include:

• Perforated gauntlet and between fingers
• Knox armor pads on the scaphoid (palm)
• Keprotec abrasion-resistant inserts
• Carbon Fiber protection on knuckles, fingers, and wrist bone
• Kangaroo palm
• Linked little fingers
• External seams on all fingers outside of impact areas
• Last two fingers are externally linked for enhanced security

KNOX Scaphoid Protection System (SPS):

Knox has created a unique system that is designed to protect the Scaphoid. This is good news considering there are an estimated 100,000 Scaphoid injuries per year in the UK alone. The injury is common amongst bikers and the healing process is slow and often complicated. It occurs because of the “grab affect” of leather gloves on a road surface.

In an accident the glove palm grips the tarmac but the rider is thrown forward. This puts strain on the Scaphoid that often results in a break due to hyper extension. The Knox SPS eliminates this grip effect allowing the palm to slide forward, reducing the risk of Scaphoid injury. Many leading brands, including Racer, now incorporate Knox SPS in their gloves.

Placement:

Please note that it is vitally important to position the SPS correctly. The main thumb slider must be placed over and inline with the thumb muscles on the palm, these are handed so make sure they are used on the correct side. The smaller palm slider must also be placed on the palm over the lunate bone just in front of the outer wrist bone. Do not place on the side of the glove as this is the wrong position and will result in the SPS system not working.
