I'v been thinkin about a wrist strap, but i actually wear a nitrile glove under this one,
and that keeps it on tight.

i think someone needs to make a palm puck that curves or bends slightly over the wrist,i position my pucks low on the glove to prevent wearing the bottom inside of the glove when your arm is stretched right out,but the problem is only 3/4 of the puck is on the velcro,the velcro needs to come down to the wrist aswell to allow a good hold on a lower set puck,i think an elbow shaped puck n good leather race gloves to suit would go well,there are lots of average gloves out there that are fine for free riding n slidin,but there is a serious lack of good quality,snug d/h gloves.

Hi Ben,
Its a bit hard to tell from the photos but the teardrop puck is set over the heel/bottom of the hand,
not on the centre of the palm. So about 1/3rd of the pucks over the wrist joint.

The teardrop pucks stapled to the glove, for about 2/3rds way around, this is what really holds the big puck on.

I've got damaged thumb joints and wanted to keep my thumbs in place, so
the velcro on the thumb is just to locate the thumb on the teardrop puck and stop them movin round.

"Elbow shaped", i'm not sure? did you mean bent at say 20deg so the wrist is bent back
a bit already?
Wayne.

yeh ,40mm or so of the end of the puck bent back,someone once told me to hold the end of ya puck in a toaster and when it softens bend it to shape ,to follow the inside wrist line, you only have it come back to the end of ya glove,
