Hillbilly Wrist Guard Gloves

Yes, they are specifically designed for longboarding. The combination of the spoon-shaped palm splint and the backsplint provides the necessary impact protection and wrist stability required for high-speed riding.

While the gloves prioritize safety with rigid splints, they are constructed from flexible goatskin leather. You will have enough dexterity to make minor board adjustments, though they are not designed for tasks requiring fine motor skills like using a smartphone.

The spoon-shaped palm splints are built to facilitate sliding and absorb impact. Because they are integrated into a durable goatskin leather chassis with heavy-duty stitching, they are designed to withstand the friction of pavement contact over time.

These are full-finger gloves made from leather, so they will naturally be warmer than lightweight mesh gloves. While they offer superior protection, you may find your hands getting sweaty during long, hot sessions.

The backsplint is designed to stabilize the wrist joint, which limits extreme flexion and extension to prevent injury. It provides a firm, supportive feel that keeps your wrist in a neutral position, though it does restrict your range of motion compared to a standard glove.
