Essential Safety Features in Custom Motocross Gloves

June 4, 2026 Industry Insights

Motocross is a high-speed, high-impact sport. The hands are often the first point of contact during a crash, making the design and manufacturing of custom motocross gloves a matter of serious safety.

TPR Knuckle Armor

Thermal Plastic Rubber (TPR) is injected or sewn onto the knuckles and fingers. This provides vital impact resistance against flying debris (roost) and branches, without sacrificing flexibility.

Clarino Palms

While leather is tough, it can become slippery when wet. Clarino, a synthetic leather, offers incredible abrasion resistance while maintaining excellent grip in muddy or wet conditions. Many premium gloves feature a double layer of Clarino on the palm and thumb for blister prevention.

If you are designing a new line of motocross gear, Bays Sports can integrate advanced TPR armor and silicone grips into your custom glove designs.
