Landyachtz Race Slide Gloves

Yes, they are an excellent choice for beginners. The durable leather construction and reinforced palms provide the necessary protection and longevity needed while you are still perfecting your slide technique and putting your gear through frequent contact with the pavement.

Yes, these gloves are designed as a complete system and include the necessary slide pucks on the palms. They are ready to use right out of the box for downhill and freeride sessions.

While leather is naturally durable and protective, it is less breathable than synthetic mesh gloves. You may find your hands getting warm during intense summer sessions, but the trade-off is significantly higher abrasion resistance and protection during high-speed slides.

While they are optimized for downhill and freeride, they work well for any style of longboarding that involves putting your hands down. However, they might feel a bit bulky if you are just cruising or commuting, as they are built specifically for impact and slide protection.

To extend the life of your gloves, avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme heat for long periods, which can dry out the leather. If they get wet, let them air dry slowly away from direct heat sources, and consider using a leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple.
