Another great glove from the Specialized Body Geometry range of products.  These gloves are a fantastic full finger glove that is suitable for all mountain bike disciplines - race to recreation.

The attention to detail and innovation is up to the usual standard we have come to expect from Specialized.

The Gel pad on the palm provides fantastic comfort and support with a real impact on reducing nerve related numbness.  Read on.....

What Specialized say about Body Geometry:
"Our approach is simple. With the help of internationally noted ergonomics designer Roger Minkow, M.D., we've developed a series of products that create medically proven solutions to many of the soreness, numbness and dysfunction problems that have plagued cyclists for more than a century.

Two Proven Antidotes to Hand Numbness -

Studies estimate that nearly half (40%) of all cyclists suffer from numbness and weakness problems in their hands. Of these, three out of four problems are caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve, which supplies sensation to half the rider's ring finger and the entire pinky. Also a problem is pressure on the median nerve, which produces Carpal Tunnel symptoms.

The Body Geometry glove concept is simple: get rid of the rest of the padding - which does nothing to address the actual problem, anyway - and concentrate it instead where it does the most good, dissipating pressure against the rider's ulnar and median nerves.

Which is exactly what they do. Body Geometry Gloves are designed with a foam/gel pad combination strategically placed to eliminate ulnar and median nerve pressures. The design also helps prevent hyperextension of the wrist, which can produce weakness and/or numbness as well. Because padding needs are different for road and mountain biking, Dr. Minkow's glove designs are application-specific, too."

Features:

Specialized have taken the fit and flexibility of the S-Works glove and topped it off with the padding and protection of a traditional BMX glove. Designed for aggressive riding on the trail or out on the street, the Ridge is the one glove that can do it all!

Drop into the shop and check them out in the flesh and treat yourself to the best, you know you deserve it!  Price - $59.95.
