The BÄRENPRANKE® is a hand protector that shields your palms from pressure points, vibrations, and high stress. Unlike traditional gloves, it specifically cushions the stressed areas of the hand without changing your grip feel.

It relieves your hands exactly where pressure occurs. Our customers report fewer pressure points, no numb fingers, no tingling and significantly more comfort – especially on longer tours or during intensive training sessions.

No. Motorcycle gloves protect you in a fall. The BÄRENPRANKE® protects your palms from pressure, vibrations and strain while riding. Both products complement each other perfectly.

Yes. The AIR² COMFORT can be worn without gloves, depending on the area of use. For motorcycle rides, we naturally always recommend suitable protective gloves.

For most customers, we recommend the AIR². It is our most versatile model and is suitable for motorcycling, cycling, fitness, and many other applications.

The CURB was specially developed for the racetrack and also offers hand edge protection.

The GYMPRANKE is the ideal choice for strength training and functional fitness.

The AIR² was developed for maximum comfort in everyday use and on long tours.

The CURB is based on the same technology but also features integrated knuckle protection and a shape specifically optimized for sporty riding and the racetrack.

Yes. The CURB is, of course, also suitable for country roads. However, since it was specially developed for maximum performance on the racetrack, some riders prefer the AIR² for longer tours, as it is designed for maximum comfort.

SLIM was developed for thin and tight-fitting gloves.

COMFORT is suitable for normal to wide-cut gloves and can also be worn without gloves depending on the application.

If you want to cover as many applications as possible, we recommend the AIR². It is our bestseller and the most versatile hand guard in our range.

Our customers report a significant improvement (up to complete prevention) because pressure and vibrations on the palms are reduced.

However, the causes of numb hands or tingling fingers can vary greatly and may also have medical reasons. Therefore, we cannot guarantee an effect in every individual case.

Nevertheless, we regularly receive feedback from customers who report a noticeable relief despite long-standing complaints. Statements like "I can finally ride my motorcycle again" or "My hands no longer fall asleep" reach us time and again. These experiences are individual customer opinions and may vary depending on the personal cause.

Yes. That is precisely what the BÄRENPRANKE® was developed for. It distributes pressure more evenly across the palm and protects stressed areas from friction and pressure.

No. The BÄRENPRANKE® was developed to provide protection without significantly altering the direct feel of the grip.

Our hand protectors are available in various sizes – from Kids to 4XL.

On each product page, you will find a size chart to help you choose the right size.

Important: Please do not refer to your glove size, as it is not directly comparable with our sizes. For BÄRENPRANKE®, finger measurements are crucial – not the entire hand size.

As a rough guide:

The following information serves as a rough guide and is based on our experience from many orders. Since every hand and every finger is individual, they do not replace actual measurements.

S–M

• Often suitable for delicate hands and narrower fingers.
  
• Often chosen by women with rather fine hands and fingers.
  

L–XL

• Suitable for average-sized hands and for fingers with a normal to slightly stronger circumference.
  
• This is the appropriate size range for many women and most men.
  

2XL–3XL

• Recommended for larger hands or fingers with a stronger circumference.
  
• Often chosen by men with larger or stronger hands and fingers.
  

4XL

• For very large hands or fingers with a significantly larger circumference.
  

Are you between two sizes?

Our tip: If you are between two sizes or are unsure, choose the larger size. The Bärenpranke should fit comfortably and not cut in, so that it can optimally fulfill its function. If the size chosen is too small, it will even have the opposite effect.

Note: Size S–M was developed for smaller or narrower hands and is too small for most men. Usually, L–XL is the appropriate choice. If in doubt, we always recommend the larger size.

Yes. The sizes are based on hand size, not gender. Therefore, they are available from children's sizes upwards.

All BÄRENPRANKE® hand protectors are developed and manufactured in Germany.

Our hand protectors are made from high-quality, durable materials and are designed for many years of regular use. The actual lifespan depends on usage and stress.

During the first uses, slight abrasion of excess color pigments may occur due to production. This is completely normal, harmless to health, and will disappear completely after a short time.

We recommend washing the BÄRENPRANKE® by hand once before its first use. This will remove excess color pigments and also eliminate the production-related odor. Afterwards, you can use your BÄRENPRANKE® as usual.

Our cleaner was specially developed for this purpose.

No. Personalized products are custom-made for you and are therefore excluded from returns.

Yes. Non-personalized products can be returned within the statutory withdrawal period. Individually personalized items are excluded.

For most customers, the AIR² is the right choice. It is our bestseller and the most versatile hand guard in the range. If you mainly ride on the racetrack, we recommend the CURB. For strength training, the GYMPRANKE is the optimal choice.
