    How do you minimise palm blisters (sounds dodgy)

    i keep getting bad blisters on my palms, i ride about 3 or 4 times a month and im a panelbeater so my hands are already quite hard, is there a product or piece of equipment that cuts down on blisters??

    theres these things called palmsavers, they are like a strap that goes around ur palm.. i guess haha

    not sure where to get them from but im sure someone else will
    My choice is what I choose to do,
    And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

    All you need to do is go to the wharehouse or a camping store and buy some cheap $5.00 thin polypropelene gloves that you wear inside your riding gloves. They are thin, stop blisters and last me for about 3 years before needing replacing. Forget using taping etc.
    There are some kevlar gloves made for the same purpose (about $30.00 last pair I bought) but they only lasted about half the time that my $5.00 gloves have.


    Twice the displacement, twice the cost and a decibel problem, I'll pass on the inside brraaaap!!!

    if you search "palm savers" on trade me you should be able to find them. that's where i got mine and i just stumbled across them, they're about $8 but they didn't work for me. i did only give them one chance tho and never used em again. they're made out of thin wetsuit material. I ride my tard every day plus dirtbiking and have some decent callises that seem to reduce blistering!

    i borrowed a set of palmsavers, they gave me sore wrists - or i just got sore wrists that day. but i never have before.

    gave up on them and decided to harden up.

    gloves without holes in them work real well for not geting blisters ive found.

    I had some real bad blisters after the second round of the gncc got a pair of the kevlar golves for the last round worked real well. Did notice also a lot of glove seam to have stich lines and joins right where you tend to get blisters weather this helps cause them ???

    strap them up with straping tape, even pro racers have to do it...

    another thing to check is if your getting the blisters on the left hand moreso (swap hands) haha actually if the blisters are on the outer part of your palm try changing to only using your middle finger on the clutch, it spreads the load....

    Man thats hard to say without sounding dodgy!!

    i usually do use my middle finger (for the clutch i mean) i only get blisters on my left hand, maybe i should just take a concrete pill and harden the f**k up.

    This want prevent them but will stop them from hurting while you are still riding, when the blisters are new and soft just spray some brake cleaner on there and it will dry them out so you can keep riding, hurts like hell when you do it but it works.
    If a man is walking in a forest and no women is there to hear him is he still wrong?
