GiroDND Jr. II Gloves – Kids’

Giro’s DND Jr. II Gloves for kids have many of the same features of the adult-specific gloves that carry the same name. As adults, we’re grateful that the little guys didn’t keep the DND Jr. IIs’ four-way stretch, breathable mesh uppers to themselves. The same goes for the durable and ergonomically appointed AX Suede synthetic leather palm. After all, if these technologies hadn’t trickled down to us, we wouldn’t enjoy the same unimpeded bar feel that our kids do when they ride with their DNDs. If they keep sharing their tech with us, then maybe someday we’ll help them preserve their dignity by teaching them what the soft wiping surface on the thumb is for. Maybe.
