LS2 Atom Gloves

The LS2 Atom is the most protective glove in LS2's short-cuff range on this site, built around a carbon knuckle protector rather than the TPU or TPR used across the rest of the line. If knuckle protection is what you're optimising for at this glove length, this is the one built around that specifically.

The shell combines perforated goat leather, lock mesh, synthetic leather and lycra for airflow with structure. Protection is the carbon knuckle protector, a TPU palm slider, high-durability SBR foam on the fingers, and synthetic suede reinforcement at impact zones. It's CE certified to EN13594:2015-1-KP.

Everyday details: stretch fabric on the palm and fingers for flexibility, an easy-on puller for quick wearing and removal, a secure hook-and-loop wrist closure, touchscreen compatibility, and reflective strips for visibility in low light.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes the carbon knuckle protector better than TPU or TPR?

A1: Carbon fibre is stiffer and lighter for the same impact resistance than the TPU sliders and TPR protectors used on the rest of LS2's short-cuff range, it's the reason this is positioned as the top protection option at this glove length.

Q2: Does this have reflective strips, unlike the other short-cuff LS2 gloves?

A2: Yes, reflective strips for low-light visibility are specific to the Atom in this range, none of the other four models carry them.

Q3: Is this glove waterproof?

A3: No, it's built for spring, autumn and summer riding with an emphasis on ventilation, not wet weather.

Q4: How do I measure for size?

A4: Wrap a tape around your hand just behind the knuckles, excluding the thumb, keeping the tape snug. Measure both hands and use the larger measurement against the chart on this page.

Q5: Can I use my phone without taking the glove off?

A5: Yes, touchscreen compatibility is built into the fingertips.
