- Skink Motorcycle Over-Gloves Wind-chill armour for
motorcyclists - When riding in cold weather conditions,
motorcycle riders can suffer severe numbing and loss of
flexibility in their hands. This is caused by wind chill, as
with every 5km/h of wind speed the surface temperature drops 5°.
So with motorcyclists traveling on average at 50km/h the effect
of wind chill on their extremities can be severe. Not only does
it reduce flexibility but, in extreme cases, can cause
frostbite. This is a major safety issue for an already
vulnerable road user as, due to the small frontal area of the
motorcycle, the rider is often not seen by other road users.
Skink Motorcycle Over-Gloves are designed to be worn over
motorcycle gloves as a protective layer to prevent wind chill
penetrating to the rider’s hand and affecting their mobility.
They are designed to move and function like a reptile’s scales,
protecting the hand from wind and rain by directing the flow
over the hand. Skink Over-Gloves also feature 3 LEDs on each
glov
