SPORTS/RECREATION APPLICATIONS |
ErgoAir® Air Paw®
antivibration gloves are designed to be used in
sports/recreation applications. These applications include (but are not limited to):
Air Paw® gloves allow you to achieve a new level of comfort and protection in these applications. The ErgoAir® AntVib® air bladder reduces by 70% the energy from vibration, bumps, and jolts to your hands and wrist. Decreased hand irritation allows for less hand fatigue and better control for long and/or rough rides. Air Paw® gloves place a thin layer of air between your hands and the handles that you clasp that provides a comfortable padding for the palm of your hands without interfering with gripping or hand dexterity. The bladder release valve allows you to adjust the bladder inflation pressure to achieve your desired level of comfort and protection. The glove outer covering and tough urethane thermoplastic provide long lasting glove durability.

Read what a user of the Air Paw® gloves in a sports applications has to say: |
| I have been cycling
for several years on both on and off road. As I have grown older, I had
increasing difficulty with my hands aching at the end of a ride. I have
spent money on full suspension bikes and have used gel gloves to help, but a
long ride always resulted in an ache in my hands. I have now used Dr. Reynolds' gloves for the last 3000 miles of ride and have had no hand problems of significance. I noticed a dramatic difference during a rocky off-road 1.5 mile decent at about 30 mph. I found that I tended to grip less tightly and had no residual hand ache. I have done two century rides on the road and again have had no hand problems. I believe that these are the best gloves I have ever used to prevent hand aches and they have performed well over an extended period of time. In talking to other bikers, many have expressed an interest in this technology. Jack Wasserman, Ph.D.,Knoxville, TN |
