The Atom Glove is a CE Level 1 certified road riding glove built for city and urban use, incorporating leather, stretch fabric, and durable mesh for a combination of protection, comfort, and ventilation that covers the practical needs of regular commuting. A soft viscoelastic PU foam compound knuckle guard is ergonomically profiled for comfort without the hard, uncompromising feel of a rigid knuckle protector. Mesh and stretch fabric on the backhand keep weight down and cooling performance up, and thumb and palm reinforcement in synthetic suede handles abrasion and grip. A short cuff design makes entry and exit fast, and a hook and loop grip closure on top of the wrist keeps the fit secure. Reflective piping on the fingertips adds a practical low-light visibility detail.
The Atom Gloves are aimed at urban and commuter riders who want a CE-certified road glove with lightweight mesh ventilation and a comfortable viscoelastic knuckle guard for everyday use. At £69.99, they sit at the mid-range of the Alpinestars urban glove category.
