Working closely with the team at Northern Standard, we created the world’s first bike polo specific glove. Like any young sport, a lack of suitable equipment has promoted a strong DIY mentality. To make the product a success it had to be extremely functional; a reworked motorcycle or hockey glove wasn’t going to cut it. With this in mind, we worked together with with elite level polo player Ken D. to design a glove from the ground up to ensure the most functional and well considered product was created. The glove was conceived with every aspect of the game fresh in our minds. This lead to niche features such as the carbon plate which allows the players hand slide along the boards when in the corners or on the asphalt when they take a spill.
