The Alpinestars Moab Mountain Bike Glove is built for exactly the kind of conditions that you'll face in Moab. It's slickrock, it's the desert, and it's completely unforgiving. The double Clarion leather palm with Kevlar landing zones and added palm padding takes some of the jolt out of slickrock landings.Tons of ventilation throughout the glove takes care of some of that desert heat, and the Moab's lightweight durability buys you just a little forgiveness in the harsh reality of high desert riding.
