Your hands can easily get damaged in a simple luging accident, we have found using full leather gloves with good knuckle coverage offers the best protection, most road motorcycle gloves will do this.

It is advisible to go for a glove that has plenty of grip on the palms so that you can get a good push in a race scenario.

Try to stay away from leather gardening gloves as a main source of protection, as these tend to come off in an accident and offer no real protection.

However, they are great as a covering for your main gloves when training, some racers will slip them over their race gloves as a form of extra protection and grip, and to extend the life of their more expensive racing gloves.
