Recently after one of our posts, one reader questioned why more companies don’t build gloves with the seams out the outside for better feel at the bar. Well, it appears that Ion was listening or a few steps ahead as they just announced their new Ledge Glove featuring Maki_Seams. Skewed towards the gravity and DH side of the spectrum, the new Ledge gloves should keep you hands comfortable and protected both on and off the bike…
Starting with a one piece, pre-curved synthetic leather palm, the Ledge uses the external Maki_Seam on the fingers where they meet the bar. Ion claims this provides for the most direct feel on the grips and improved comfort when you’ve got your death grip on the bar. Combining Flex_Mesh with padded knuckles for impact protection and breathability, the thumb and first two fingers also include silicone printing and touch screen compatibility built in.
A Nose_Charmer micro fiber sweat wipe on the thumb and velcro closure finish off the design. U.S. pricing TBD.
