If you are looking for a heavy duty warm glove this winter and ride with, or are thinking about riding with wrist guards this is a decent solution, worth checking out.

Any snowboarder who has had a wrist injury in our sport will tell you to buy wrist guards before you do break them. Well, as I have never had a wrist injury I heeded the advice and volunteered to review these. The Herakles is a heavy duty glove designed to keep your hands warm and wrists intact, even in the coldest and nastiest weather. A heavy duty shell comprised of a waterguard material and a leather knuckle give this glove its integrity. The removable thermoplastic wrist guard slips into a pocket on top of the hand so as not to interfere with your grip at all. Other features include a goggle wipe, snot absorbing material to wipe runny noses, and three separate adjusting straps on each glove to create a snug fit.
