Protective MTB gloves with D3O knuckle protection for technical trail riding.
Muc-Off D3O Rider Gloves are designed for mountain bikers who want more hand protection without giving up grip and control. An integrated D3O knuckle protector helps absorb impacts, while the abrasion-resistant softshell outer provides additional coverage for technical trail, enduro and aggressive mountain biking.
A durable perforated palm helps maintain airflow and bar feel, with silicone gripper print providing additional grip on the handlebars and brake levers. A DWR water-resistant coating and extended neoprene cuff make them particularly well suited to cooler or changeable riding conditions.

Why Choose Muc-Off D3O Rider Gloves?
These are designed for riders who want more protection than a lightweight trail glove. The integrated D3O knuckle protection adds useful impact coverage for technical trails and enduro riding, while the perforated palm and silicone grip help maintain good feel through the bars and controls.
Our Thoughts
If you're riding tighter trails where clipping a tree or taking a knock to the hand is a realistic possibility, the extra knuckle protection makes sense. They're more substantial than the Muc-Off MTB Rider Gloves, so we'd choose these when protection and cooler-weather coverage matter more than having the lightest possible glove.
