April 30, 2013 – 2:48 PM | No Comment

The AXS Gear/Concrete Wave Readers’ Choice survey yielded a tremendous amount of information. Almost 4,000 people took the time to fill out the survey, with an average time of 14-plus minutes to complete! That represents almost 40 days’ worth of time! We produced a fully comprehensive listing of all companies in the Concrete Wave Buyer’s Guide. But here, for the purpose of space, we will address some of the key findings from the survey. We instituted two distinct changes this year. First, we changed the actual questions to reflect what brands are actually owned by readers.

AXS Review: Triple 8′s Downhill Slide Gloves

Here at AXS Gear we recently got to try out Triple 8′s Downhill Slide Gloves. The gloves come standard with replaceable PU palm puck, thumb puck, and finger bar. All sliders are replaceable and are available for purchase separately. The pucks attach securely to the Velcro on the gloves with very little to no chance of falling off while riding. The gloves are made of top grain leather with tear resistant Kevlar finger tips that protect against abrasion and tearing. The one thing I find with some other gloves is that my flexibility in my fingers is restricted by the thickness of the leather, however with triple 8′s gloves I have much more flexibility and can actually pick up my keys with them on. They feature a heavy-duty, wrap around Velcro® wrist strap that ensure a perfect fit and an EZ pull-on loop that makes it easy to pull on or off these gloves.The Triple 8 Downhill Slide Gloves are fantastic.

The gloves are made of top grain leather with tear resistant Kevlar finger tips that protect against abrasion and tearing.These gloves are light, flexible and fit nicely provided you purchase the right size for your hands, and are extremely durable. Triple 8 designs their gloves and other protective gear to be top of the line and provide the most protection and these gloves are no exception. So if your looking for some higher end gloves for those crazy slides I would recommend Triple 8′s Downhill Slide Gloves.
