Race gloves with hard protection on the knuckles and back of the hand for clearing gates, from Leki, Level and Reusch. Leki World Cup gloves, such as the World Cup Racing Titanium S, clip to the pole with the Trigger S system. Level gloves, such as the SQ CF, use carbon fiber protection.
Junior sizes come from Leki and Level. For colder days, see race mittens, and for the poles themselves, pole guards.
