Kids off-road gloves keep young hands protected and connected to the bars on every motocross and trail ride. This range spans Leatt, Thor and Shot, built from lightweight textile for full finger movement, vented backs for hot days, and reinforced palms that hold up to dirt, roost and the occasional tip-over.

How to choose kids off-road gloves
The right youth glove fits snug with no spare material at the fingertips. A loose glove bunches under the grip and causes blisters, while a tight glove cuts circulation on a long ride. Measure across the knuckles in millimetres and match it to the brand size chart before buying. Off-road gloves sit outside the EN 17092 road abrasion framework (AAA, AA and A) and rarely carry CE Level 1 or Level 2 armour, since dexterity and feel matter more than bulk on the dirt. Every glove here uses lightweight single-layer textile for maximum control.
| Brand | Range | Construction | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leatt 1.5 Junior | Youth | Single-layer textile, MicronGrip palm | All-round MX and trail |
| Thor Sector Youth | Youth | Textile chassis, silicone grip | Entry-level motocross |
| Shot Raw Kid | Kid | Stretch textile, vented back | Younger first-time riders |
Fit and protection facts
Off-road gloves prioritise feel over heavy armour, so most youth gloves run a single 0.6 mm to 0.8 mm palm layer for grip rather than the 1.2 mm to 1.5 mm leather of road gloves. Look for silicone fingertip print on the clutch and brake fingers for control with 1 or 2 fingers. A 100% perforated or mesh back lowers hand temperature on summer rides above 30 degrees and even 40 degrees days. Hook-and-loop or slip-on cuffs secure the wrist at a 360 degree wrap without a bulky closure. Replace any glove once the palm wears through, since a thin palm offers near 0% abrasion resistance. Sizes typically run youth XXS through youth L, roughly 4 to 7 inches across the palm, so check each chart as Leatt, Thor and Shot grade differently by up to 10 mm per size step. Most youth gloves weigh under 40 grams per pair, keeping fatigue low across a 20 minute moto.
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure my child's hand for off-road gloves?
Measure across the widest part of the palm at the knuckles in millimetres, then match that figure to the brand size chart. Leatt, Thor and Shot grade slightly differently, so always check the specific chart for the glove you want.
Are these gloves suitable for motocross and trail riding?
Yes. Every glove in this range is built for off-road and motocross use, with lightweight textile construction, grippy palms and vented backs designed for young riders on dirt.
Should kids off-road gloves fit tight or loose?
Snug. A glove should sit flush with no spare material at the fingertips. Loose gloves bunch under the grip and cause blisters, while overly tight gloves restrict circulation on longer rides.
