Modern dirt bike gloves seem to have evolved into little more than a nylon sock for your hands. Plenty of sublimated graphics & thermal-bonded rubber bits for style, but little if any padding or real leather for protection when you need it. Biltwell s Baja glove bucks this trend by melding retro dirt bike styling with impact protection & goatskin reinforcement in friction zones to meet Europe’s certification standard for recreational motorcycle operation. The ‘80s were the Golden Age of American motocross, when advances in gear design & material technology moved even faster than the legends who wore the stuff. That era & those riders were the inspiration for Biltwell s new Baja glove.
