Triple Eight Downhill Gloves - When speed meets control

Downhill longboarding isn't a game – here, every second and every millimeter of control counts. The Triple Eight Downhill Longboard Gloves are designed for precisely those moments when you're hurtling down the mountain at 60+ km/h and need absolute confidence in your equipment.

At the heart of these Kevlar-reinforced longboard gloves is a thoughtful balance between protection and control. While other gloves separate you from your board, the Triple Eight Downhill Gloves bring you closer. The fingerless design allows for maximum grip control for grabs and precise board handling—a decisive advantage when split seconds mean the difference between success and crash.

The Kevlar fingertip gloves show their true strength during aggressive slides. The replaceable PU puck made of robust material ensures controlled grip on asphalt, while the Kevlar reinforcement at the fingertips withstands even the toughest slides. For full downhill sessions, we recommend the matching Triple Eight Tony Hawk helmet for maximum head protection.

What makes these abrasion-resistant longboard gloves special is the neoprene padding on the knuckles. It absorbs shocks from falls without restricting freedom of movement. The wraparound Velcro strap ensures a secure fit – even when things get really heated. The integrated sweat saver on the thumb is a detail you'll only appreciate when sweat obscures your vision and you need to react quickly.

These downhill gloves are the choice for riders who prioritize safety without compromising on performance. The Triple Eight Sliders Longboard Gloves are a perfect complement for less aggressive sessions.

Which rider are the Triple Eight Downhill Gloves perfect for?

These longboard gloves for fast rides are aimed at experienced downhill and freeride enthusiasts. If you regularly reach speeds beyond 40 km/h and slides are part of your standard repertoire, these gloves are your insurance policy.

Freeriders, in particular, appreciate the perfect balance between protection and control. The fingerless design allows for precise grabs, while the robust PU puck and Kevlar reinforcement easily withstand even aggressive sliding sessions.
