On my recent trip to the annual 84th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, I got my gear ready and headed out each day for a beautiful day of riding. In December 2024, BikerDown contracted a company to make us some samples of GET OFF THE PHONE riding gloves. These gloves would enable me to communicate with drivers I caught on the phone, drivers texting while driving, and drivers who were irresponsible when behind their vehicles.
Distracted driving is one of the number 1 causes of cagers hitting motorcycle riders. Distracted drivers also injure or kill more pedestrians and other cagers because they are distracted while driving. While important to our motorcycle riding community, this is a global epidemic.
Back to Sturgis, I couldn’t believe how many times at a stop light, after seeing a driver texting or using their phone, I got their attention, held up my hand, and communicated to them that they needed to GET OFF THE PHONE.
I posted some content and a photo of my gloves in my side mirror, and the requests and comments were so overwhelming. Riders wanted these gloves and wanted to know where they could get them.
BikerDown now offers riders, for a limited time, the opportunity to get a pair of these gloves for themselves. These gloves are lightweight, move air well so you don’t sweat, and have smartphone technology to use your smartphone without taking your gloves off. We ask that you don’t utilize that while your bike is moving.
The gloves have the message GET OFF THE PHONE on both sides, so you can use the hand that is most safe to communicate with riders.
Available in unisex sizes, Medium, large, and XL, they stretch, so if you need a size up, they will accommodate your hands. They are currently a pre-order and will ship to consumers on September 22nd. The price is $26.00, and 100% of the proceeds will go into our National Accident Fund to help BikerDown help injured motorcycle riders.
