Giro DJ Gloves

Even if you’re not hitting the local dirt jumps, the DJ gloves from Giro look very tidy indeed. The three-piece vented palm is designed to give a tailored fit and prevent bunching, and there’s just enough padding to take the sting out of impacts and hard grips without feeling bulky. The knuckles are articulated for better freedom of movement, but perhaps the nicest touch is the wrap-over tips for the first two fingers; this design comes from the snowboard industry and should help prevent glove-ending blowouts. There’s a wide range of colours available and the $49 retail price seems utterly reasonable. Now if we can only figure out why you’d want to wear them to spin tunes at a dance party…
