Burton Impact Glove Review

$85
A Good Ride Favorite! The burton impact glove is probably one of the best gloves with built in wrist protection gloves out there. It's well made and well designed. The only other competitor is the Level Fly Bio-Mex Glove. It is a more well built version of the support glove and of the 2 is one of The Good Ride's top choices. As you can see below it doesn't spec up to other regular gloves but it does fit incredibly well for a protective glove so take that in consideration when reading. Check out the detailed review below.

The Good Ride Take

The Burton Impact Glove Review By The Good Ride

We had our friend who was a beginner buy these gloves and ride them for about 20 days last year. All in all it saved him about 10k in hospital bills. He stacked alot like all beginners and was pain free getting up each time. Compared to the support gloves this has more wrist protection and really is made alot better for impact.....hence the name. When they were under the jacket you didn't even notice you were wearning wrist protection. It's great to wear protection but it sucks when everyone knows you are. The look is pretty cool too. It's reminds us of a variation of the Dakine Stingray Glove with it's futuristic styling.

They did soak up on the wet days but last year they were mostly leather. This year the material is better for drying quickly and there is also a rubber palm. Smart choice since most begginers will have their hands on the snow alot more than most riders. We'd really like to see a goretex insert along with this for the price. This years gloves will do alot better than last years and dry alot faster.

All in all this was one of the best protective gloves we reviewed. The other glove that came close to this was the Level Fly Biomex.

Company Info

While it’s a known fact that having a cast on your arm makes you look way more bad ass, and will undoubtedly get you tons of chicks, injuries are not that rad. It hurts, and your joints will ache every time it rains. A closely guarded secret for many pro riders, the Burton Impact Glove combines everything you would want in a normal weatherproof and insulated glove with an MD-approved low-profile support system.
