Sliding gloves are a crucial safety tool for every rider. The GyroRiderz gloves do look like a great solution as far as protective gloves are concerned. I used to use a pair of Triple 8 wrist guards but that interfered with my watch.
I now use gloves both full-finger and fingerless versions made by 1Protect. Got it in one!!! I prefer some wristbands, I change them every 9 months, due to the velcro issue: I use these.

Longboarding gloves may seem like an unnecessary investment, and to riders who cruise on urban streets and seaside boardwalks they probably are.
But new riders considering downhill longboarding, especially downhill freeride, should purchase the best longboard sliding gloves they can find. Longboarding sliding gloves have plastic pucks attached — usually to the palm but sometimes also the fingers — that enable downhill riders to put their hands down on the pavement as they slide. This lets freeriders slide in a more stable, horizontal position. It also gives riders the option of putting their hands down if they lose balance during a standup slide or need to stop quickly, while providing excellent hand protection in the event of a crash.
Triple 8 is a New York City-based protective sports equipment company. The Triple 8 Sliders are quality sliding gloves made from proven materials. They offer full, top-grain leather hand protection with tough Kevlar fingertips. The Sliders feature polyurethane pucks and finger bars, which are replaceable. They have wrap-around Velcro wrist closures to provide a secure fit, and include an EZ-Pull loop helps with putting them on.
Triple 8 is building a reputation for quality and durability, and the Sliders do not detract from that. The material is a stretchy, breathable synthetic fabric. It provides no crash protection and cannot survive being scraped along the pavement. Rush sliding gloves have a Velcro closure, and they fit snugly and securely on the hands if properly fitted. While the Rush gloves are not going to win any medals for durability, they last long enough to justify their affordability as long as riders stick to the pucks when sliding.
When high speed and friction are involved, things can get dicey quickly. Cordura, Kevlar and synthetic suede panels make up the exterior, and a breathable Coolmax lining keeps hands cool. A new Poron XRD palm pad provides another level of protection, and neoprene-and-Velcro straps cinch them down tightly.
Freeride gloves use ultra-high-molecular-weight UHMW polyethylene , which is the most impact-resistant plastic available, as the puck material. With the combination of synthetic fabrics and space-age thermoplastic pucks, the Freerides are the most durable slide gloves currently available.
Recently updated with new, form-fitting sizing, Loaded has put longevity in the hands of longboarders, and done it a remarkably fair cost. Ever seen MotoGP racing? Those racers wear full leathers on their bikes for a reason: Leather provides the utmost in abrasion resistance. The back is perforated for air flow, and the thumb is reinforced for added life. There are no seams on the palm side to tear. Sector 9 includes the rectangular Ergo Derlin puck with the Drivers. A durable puck, they provide a wider sliding surface than circular pucks.
Leather gloves like the Drivers tend to form around the hand with use, and they soon become some of the sleekest and closest-fitting sliding gloves available. Rekon is a small longboard and skateboard brand that is still making its bones, and the Rekon slide gloves are a solid step toward building a solid reputation. They are mainly leather, with a small patch of breathable fabric on the back.
