Gloves are one of those things we all use, but don’t put too much time into thinking about. I’m all about finding the best products at the best price and TASCO & Handup stood out as being a notch above the rest. But what separates those two companies? I answer that and so much more in this video!

Thanks for watching!
Any vegan options from either company?
Very hard choice ! Ahah
Great info! I am about to post my own video asking for opinions on gloves soon. Beat me to the punch
I always use my skiing gloves 👍🏻
The “towel” thumb is very useful to me so I think I’ll try the Handups.
Machinix gloves work great 🖒👍
Josh very important, do they both have conductive materials to our smartphone screens? Hard to get that Strava started or MTB projects with some brands.
I only get handjobs
I know they are great gloves but they are kind of expensive and you can get a sweet set of units with a cool design that are a lot cheaper i compared the two in the shop and found no difference they are great i think if you can afford the two its a good bet but if you can’t go to your local motocross store and get the units for a good deal
you should try the fox flexair glove, it is comfortable, has good protection and grip, and it feels like wearing no gloves but with the grip, and protection
Got the fox demo gloves, no padding, no velcro, fit my hands pretty well
I like fox ranger glives
I couldn’t used either one of these for I need a glove that had good gel padding in the palm to address the numbness I get at times. To that I’m looking at the Endura Hummvee Plus Glove IIs. I’d really like to see a review on the best bang for the buck full finger gel padded gloves for the Hummvee are a bit pricey and I’d like a nice glove that has cool designs because we ALL KNOW riding is as much about the STYLE as it is about the gear being good & affordable!
I ride my bike and wear 100% brand gloves. Picked them up at Cycle Gear for 12 bucks on.clearance.they work great. Same type of style of your comparison gloves. No palm padding. Or velcro. I doLove mynFox Dirt Paws. But like to switch it up. They work fine. I think the tascos look like they fit better than the hand up one. I kike the tascos.
Tasco is a terrible name. it sounds like Costco. I don’t want to wear Costco gloves. I will never want the Company name in massive letters across the glove. As far as style Hand Up wins hands down.
I have a pair of Tasco double digits and Hand Uo ‘Merica gloves. I love both pairs. That said so far the Tasco gloves have seemed to hold more moisture and leaves my hands feeling waterlogged after a hard ride. I’m still testing but so far it seems the Hand up gloves wick moisture a little better
I can’t wear a glove with padding. Theses two companies hit the mark for minimal gloves!
The real question is why buy anything at full price? Extreme sports retail clothing is always on sale, go to Backcountry or Jenson and get what’s on sale!
Being from Chattanooga where Handup calls home, I’ll never leave them…even when I move to Bellingham in a few months
i know the video is about gloves but i couldn’t take my eyes off the ding in the rear rim of the raleigh
Dusty Betty rocks Tasco👊🏽🚵🏽🌵
I personally prefer the style and designs of handup. That’s just me.
I’d start at 2:43
I would have liked to try Tasco gloves, but with an XL size the have nothing in stock… Handup looked good but after ten minutes of looking at different gloves, they also don’t have much in stock either. It’s not a good first impression of both companies.
Great video! I went back and forth between using TASCO and Handup gloves before I eventually partnered with TASCO. I don’t think you can go wrong supporting either company, and heck why not get a set from each company? They’re both disrupting the market and ultimately doing really cool things.
realy great video. 10 k subs now
been here since about 2000 subs
So I just use motocross gloves, moose or thor or fly (klim bunches up on me) , no padding. Always have. Also your rear tire is finally flat.
What to grab a pair of these sweet "Indivisible" USA gloves from Tasco? You’ll have to wait till May 1st – but I think you you’ll agree the wait is worth it! To ease your pain you can use the code MTBDAILY to grab 10% off anything on their site!
What did you do for college? And what do you do for your career?
Personally I wear 100% gloves and goggles also does anybody know a good pair of knee pads for 13 year olds
Answer gloves have worked well for me. $10 amazon.
I know tasco gloves have conductive material in the fingertips which allows you to use your phone while wearing them, does handup have this feature as well? Can you use your phones touchscreen while wearing them?
None of these will do it for me, I need protection for fingers and knuckles.
What about gripgrab with their inside grip? I’ve been using the gripgrab vertical gloves and I don’t want to use anything else. The inside grip makes the biggest difference for me, you can release a lot of pressure off your hands when riding rought terrain. If i use any other glove without inside grip I feel like sliding around in them
This was very helpful and a great comparison! THANK YOU 🙂
Thanks for the review! @DailyMTBRider
I live over seas so sadly these two companies are very hard to come by and can be expensive. Luckily though, the guys at handup were awesome enough to give me a discount so i buy them at a reasonable price. Love those guys!
How about POC?
How are these better than TLD Ace?
I chose handup cuz im that rider that has a EXTRA BRIGHT setup heres a quick description of my bike: light green ODI longneck grips (they are very nice) and a bright ass light green frame from kenda and just the rest of the bike is just custom light green😂. So my whole bike is fluorescent green. And im that stand out rider that wears bright ass shit😂
Try 100% celium 2 gloves….
Awkward vid man…awkward!!!
So if I follow Handup’s sizing guide I’m a L but on Tasco I’m an XL. I had handup before and they were too tight! The XL Tasco gloves are just right?
Great unbiased review! 👍👍
Just placed an order for some handups the other day. Now it looks like I need to order some TASCo’s too.
If you watch Biking with Bobo you’ll see why he’s their ambassador, suits his style, fun vids, but not my thing.
I was kinda expecting this to be ( once you meantioned they back you ) a Tasco love fest, give me your gentlemen relish oooh Tasco. Buttt…. just looking at how the gloves sat on your hands, the bunching on the back of the handup it’s clear the Tasco is the better glove fit for you.
My similar glove is a 661 Raja which is great, if a little shorter on the wrist.
I’d love to find a UK source for these, maybe a little less shouty tho.
Something with "how about a nice cup of tea" printed on the palm.
Well it damn well better be hand up,since I just ordered handups before watching this
Good video! I’ve always just run the overly padded (read: gel) roadie style fingerless gloves, mainly because I need my fingers free and clear when I’m riding the mountain bike at work. That being said, this video has intrigued me and I may try the "less is more" approach on my personal bike, regarding the padding. My only wish on your video is a comparison of longevity – you mentioned how the Fox gloves didn’t really stand up over time, so I thought you may include that was one of your judging criteria. Maybe in the future?! Thanks for the video, as always.
