POCResistance Pro DH Glove - Men's
Item # POC008Y
Protect your digits.
Achieving the right mix of control, protection, and breathability in a DH glove is tricky business, but POC manages to do a fine job of it with its Resistance Pro DH Glove. As the pricier DH glove in the Resistance line, the Resistance Pro comes crafted with the addition of durable ceramic fabric on fingers and knuckles, POC's VPD system padding along the knuckles, and extra silicone palm padding compared to its more entry-level sibling. The lightweight VPD pads will absorb impact when you fly over the bars or get a little close to a trail-side branch, while silicone printing on the brake fingers lends crucial cockpit dexterity as you blast through chunky rock gardens.
- Protect your hands on-course with this grippy DH race glove
- Lightweight VPD padding along knuckles protects in a crash
- Breathable fabric keeps moisture moving to prevent clamminess
- Silicone grip and pads at palms ensures cockpit dexterity
- Hook-and-loop closure makes the glove easy to get off
- Touchscreen-compatible thumbs help you snap mid-ride shots
- Terrycloth nose wipe keeps lenses and faces clean

It’s flexible, ergonomic, air ventilation and breathability is great, paddings are ok but velcro doesn’t work well and the most importantly, the fabric started falling apart from the wrist area due to get on and off. i would expect more durable fabric but it’s definitely not. after eight weeks daily bases usage, it would not have been like this. I don’t recommend this glove; I’ll probably try other brands next time

I'm an overconfident novice mountain biker and bought these because when I land on my palms, my half gloves let my fingertips touch the ground, and I was looking for protection from that. (also because they look cooler). I was disappointed that the pads on the palms are thin and don't fully pad the bottom of your hand. I'm able to use my thumb on my iPhone but not the fingers -- just enough to press "record" on Strava. Update: I have used them 20+ times and they are holding up fine (I hand wash and air dry them). Also I just cut the velcro strap off because the glove is not going to come off on it's own so you don't need it. Upgrading to 4 stars.

The POC VDP works to protect your hand from when you misjudge the space between two trees! Its the same material they use on other armor products POC sells. Although the picture makes them look burly and heavy, they are comfortable and breath well. They allow a solid handlebar feel. I went up one size from the guide, the glove comes off just a little easier but still fit snugly. My hand measures just below the cut-off between the large and XL. So, technically, they are true to size. One disappointment is that the gloves fingers won't work on an iPhone X but that's not really why you buy a glove like this. Again, buy this glove for the protection, comfort and grip feel. A note about the velcro, honestly, I dont see why you even need a closure on this glove, they are cut in a way that the closure doesn't add anything.

The gloves breath very well for the Texas summer heat, excellent protection and touches in the right places. Would have given 5 stars if the velcro straps actually held. Only complaint.

good gloves, velcro quality is wanting

After three rides the velcro no longer sticks and the strap just floats in the air. I've had to modify the glove to add my own velcro. The gloves appear solidly built and they breathe well in the heat. I would not recommend.

I only ride a few times a month. I bought these because I thought they would offer more protection. After 2 months, the velcro became unglued from the rubber straps. I rode with them like this for another month and just threw them in a box and used my old mechanix gloves. Going through warranty at POC has been pretty bad in the past as they don't stand behind their products. I have a feeling that this will be the case again. Buy something else.

Excellent gloves. Some padding, not much. I like the perforations in the palm to cool my hands and allow some airflow. Tried medium, too small. Returned for a large-perfect fit. If you are close to next size up, go with larger size.

I guess they would tend to loosen up as I use them constantly, but right now they are pretty snug, I would recommend go one size up!

Great gloves, breathable and solid protection. Ordered size L and they had a very snug fit; would have preferred just a little bit more room.

These are the best gloves for protecting your hands when riding downhill. They fit like a glove, they are pretty snug, but that is probably good. I like that the gloves use the vpd protection on the outside of my hands and knuckles. only downside, I kind of wish they had better touch screen implementation. The thumbs work but I wish they had the index finger and middle finger too. I struggled with them a tiny bit with my iPhone but my iPhone is always having issues. that is another story.

Same experience with the velcro.
