Has anybody used the KH gloves available on UDC?? I am thinking of new gloves and like the wrist guard idea(thinking rollerblading wrist guards). Also, wondering about sizing. Any input would be welcome.
I like the versatlity of wearing gloves and wrist guards separately,because I don’t always wear my wrist guards, but I ALWAY wear gloves. Speaking of which, I found a great glove that’s both lightweight, and has “armour” on it as well to absorb impacts. Leather on bottom, nylon mesh on top. They cost about $30 and are available at REI. I love mine, and my wrist guards fit over them easily.
What type of wrist guards do you wear? I have some that I put my hand “through” and I’m now in a bit of a bind for finding decent gloves that’ll be small enough to find it them without having to buy new wrist protection as well as gloves.
I use the KH gloves and I realy like them much !!!
I also give them away to a friend who lost his gloves. He smiles about the KH gloves but after one week of riding with the KH gloves he decide to buy some for himself
They are very comfortable. Maybe the Quality could be better but as I know, they still improved it.
For some reviews of the old KH design (looks like what UDC has), check here:

The wrist guard on the Pulse gloves is minimal - there is no plastic insert, just a tight wrap of canvas that helps stiffen the wrist. The palm does have extra padding, however.
For sizing, check this chart:

It seems fairly accurate for general glove sizes.
I do the same thing as Terry - separate wrist guards and gloves. I’m looking for something a lot more durable though…I’ve started destroying a wrist guards and gloves on a monthly basis.
i don’t like too much padding in my gloves so i use 661 dirt jumping/bmx gloves. full fingered and not too bulky.
I have the pulse gloves, and I’d give them a 7 out of 10.
Pros: full-fingered, feel like my MTB gloves, reasonable wrist support
Cons: limited sizes (L barely fits me, but it’s as big as they get), hot, not the prettiest
I bought these because I wanted full-finger protection, something not available with my 888 wrist guards (can’t get them on if I have gloves underneath). I was getting some blisters from my seat handle when hopping, which prompted me to try the KH gloves. They were worth the money, but will no doubt improve over time.
