Joe Rocket Speedmaster 7.0 Gloves

These gloves are consistent with the major brands we carry, so hopefully you’ve had some experience with buying gloves and can choose based upon the fit of a previous pair. If you have no previous experience with glove sizing, go here for help.

The Speedmaster 7.0 glove is Joe Rocket’s best racing design. What’s different? The gauntlet area over the wrist has armor consisting of a combination of high density “memory foam” type padding covered by a harder molded piece. This configuration is very light weight and feels substantial, but still remains fairly flexible. The lining on the back of the hand and top of the wrist contains Kevlar material providing extra heat and abrasion resistance. Some of the more usual features are the molded knuckle and finger armor. They offer good impact protection to the back of the hand. The palm of the gloves is made with a soft and flexible kangaroo hide which is widely known for providing a great feel for the controls. There is a Velcro strap at the wrist that should help keep the glove securely on your hand in the event of a fall. The gauntlet also has a double Velcro closure/adjustment for a custom fit over your sleeves. Overall, the look of this glove is a bit unconventional, but the new approach to hand protection makes for a very functional and comfortable glove.
