Kevlar lined gloves or studded sliders on the gloves. I think also the helmet eject system. All good things, but there are going to be some glove buying riders this winter lol

 These are not bad gloves and the rider still lost some skin on the heels of his hands. I am all for good gloves and safety equipment.

just went to some of the big name leather suit/glove suppliers in dbc performace section and only 1(z custom leathers) had gloves with kevlar $175.00,but not fully lined??and studded heal of palm only was med and large only,sm and xl sold out,and was around $25.00/60%off.I can't find anybody who sells legal gloves.sounds like a monopoly if any body sells gloves that are legal for nhra.what are the psm guys wearing and where from?

Contact NHRA tech and tell them you can not find these gloves they are saying you have to have. I bet they can tell you some companies that are selling them. I am sure when the site advertisers here start getting calls for the gloves they will find them as well and stock them for their customers.
