BMX Gloves Black Friday: long gloves on sale
The BMX gloves from Black Friday are all long gloves, available in adult, junior, and child sizes. The discounts are comparable for the same version: measure the width of the palm, then check the exact version on the datasheet, as the same glove often comes in many graphics that do not change the fit or protection.
Measuring the hand before choosing
Most brands size their gloves based on the width of the palm, measured across the middle of the hand, excluding the thumb. Adult, junior, and child size charts overlap: at Fist Handwear, a junior XS and an adult XXS cover the same width, and the smallest hands fall into the child size chart. The glove should fit snugly around the fingers without compressing them when the fist closes around the grip.
Comparing two discounts on the same glove
BMX brands sell the same glove in many different graphics. Fist Handwear offers its base in Earth Stocker, Fluro, Mango or Build series; Fuse dresses its Chroma in Campos, Alias, K/o or Night Panther colours, while the Alpha remains black. Between two promotions of the same series, only the finish changes: so check the crossed-out price and the displayed price for the same size and version, adult, junior, or child, then the fastening system, whether it’s Velcro or elastic without a closure.
The BMX glove brands in the operation
Fist Handwear designs its Stocker with a single-layer Clarino palm to maintain the feel of the grips, paired with a stretchy fabric back and an index finger compatible with touch screens.
Fuse shares the same fitted cut between the colourful Chroma and the Alpha, with silicone on the fingers that operate the brake and a microfiber thumb to wipe sweat; the Chroma is also available in child sizes.
Shot Race Gear, a French all-terrain equipment brand, completes the rider's outfit with long gloves, including the Lite version.
Fly Racing features the Kinetic, a glove from its motocross range, approved for BMX racing as it covers the fingers.
Completing the outfit during the operation
The permanent page for BMX gloves details the palm materials and cuffs. During Black Friday, gloves are complemented with a BMX jersey with sleeves that go down to the wrist and BMX pants and shorts. The mountain bike gloves on sale have their own page; past series join the clearance.
Frequently asked questions
How to give BMX gloves as a gift without knowing the size?
Borrow a glove that fits and measure the width of their palm flat, or trace the outline of their hand on a piece of paper. If unsure between two sizes, a model with Velcro adjustment fits more easily at the wrist.
Are mittens allowed in BMX racing?
No, the federal regulation requires gloves that cover the hand to the tips of the fingers. In freestyle, nothing is imposed, but a long glove offers better finger protection in a fall.
Does Black Friday happen every year at the same time?
Yes, it always follows Thanksgiving, an American holiday set on a Thursday, and is a few weeks before the year-end holidays. At Vélo-Store, its discounts go beyond just Friday and cover the whole of November; the relevant gloves are gathered on this page.
What is the purpose of silicone on the fingers?
Printed on the index and middle fingers, it grips the brake lever, even with wet hands. It wears down over time without the glove losing its other qualities.
Can a child’s glove fit a teenager?
Only if the width of their palm still fits within the child size chart. Beyond that, switch to the junior chart, where the largest sizes overlap with small adult sizes.
