Dave was sponsored by Sunoco Race Fuels and Suzuki Motor Corp. running in NHRA Pro Stock and ProStar Pro Stock racing. Until his untimely passing, Dave was a constant source of innovation. The Vanson Nitrous family of gloves is the result of years of experience and collaboration with top riders like Dave. (Thank you, Dave....R.I.P.)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sole reason for the existence of these gloves is that they are functional safety equipment. This is achieved through several aspects of the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gauntlet of these gloves serves one purpose - to protect the wrist zipper of the racing suit sleeve in a crash. If the wrist zipper is exposed and broken, the sleeve will be pulled up the arm, exposing skin to asphalt. The gauntlet prevents that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a strap on the inside of the wrist, and when this is tightened it works with the elastic strip zig-zag stitched to the inside of the glove, between the wrist and the knuckles, to stop the glove being pulled off if you crash and are sliding backwards down the track. Dave Schultz learned about this the hard way with a competitor's glove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe backs of the knuckles and fingers, the back of the thumb and the palm are padded with a sandwich of materials, including a high impact energy absorbing foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is Kevlar under the palm pad for added protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComformax lines the back of the hand for cooling, but is only used there and not on the palm, for less bulk when gripping the controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese gloves are pre-curved for better fit, minimum bulk in the palm area, and less break-in time. These gloves should fit skin-tight around the palm and fingers with your hand partly curled. The wrist fit should be snug, holding the glove securely in position. The top of the gauntlet should be held tightly over the suit sleeve by the Velcro tab, with plenty of overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/vansonleathers.com\/img\/cms\/roma-korry-hogan-vanson-sponsored-racer.png\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\"\u003eWe know these gloves work at speeds in excess of 200 mph. In one incident Korry Hogan jumped off the Top Fueler in Gainesville, FL when the spark plug wire broke and the high-voltage electric current was burning and shocking him. Korry told us “These bikes put out a quarter of the electricity of an Electric Chair” and his Vanson Nitrous Gloves saved him from severe burns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChris Hand was blown off his bike also in Gainesville, and slid on his back at about 180 mph. When we looked at his Nitrous Gloves they were minimally damaged. And there was no visible damage to his hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/vansonleathers.com\/img\/cms\/roma-Larry-McBride.png\" alt=\"\" align=\"right\"\u003eLarry McBride had a nitro fire at the starting line and the flames engulfed his hands and chest. He was unhurt, his Nitrous Gloves took all of the abuse and shriveled from the heat and flame....but his hands were not hurt at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese gloves come in two versions - the NITR and the NITX. The only difference is that the NITX has brass studs on the heel of the hand for even more protection if you ever find yourself sliding down the asphalt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vanson Leathers","offers":[{"title":"Small \/ Men's","offer_id":44631267901630,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small \/ Women's","offer_id":44631267934398,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Men's","offer_id":44631267967166,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Women's","offer_id":44631267999934,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Men's","offer_id":44631268032702,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large \/ Women's","offer_id":44631268065470,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Men's","offer_id":44631268098238,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"X-Large \/ Women's","offer_id":44631268131006,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XX-Large \/ Men's","offer_id":44631268163774,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XX-Large \/ Women's","offer_id":44631268196542,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/2066\/7582\/files\/nitrous-gloves_1.png?v=1728872254","url":"https:\/\/bbracingllc.com\/products\/vanson-nitrous-gloves","provider":"BB Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
