Some accidents feel like they happen in slow motion – and that’s exactly how it was for Justinas. On September 5th, 2025, a warm evening ride from work took an unexpected turn while he was crossing the Minija river bridge between Aleksandravas and Kartena.
From Green Light to Hard Asphalt
At first, Justinas was waiting at a red light in a line of cars on a road under construction. When the light turned green, the cars began moving forward, and so did he. Picking up speed to around 25 km/h, he then noticed that the vehicles ahead suddenly stopped. Reacting quickly, Justinas grabbed the front brake but applied too much force. That mistake catapulted him over the handlebars, landing face-first on the road.There was no time to think, no sliding – just a sudden slam. He landed about a meter in front of his motorcycle, which had toppled behind him. It was a low-speed crash, but enough to put his motorcycle gear to the test.
The Gloves That Took the Hit
That day, Justinas was wearing Pando Moto motorcycle gloves – motorcycle riding gear he now credits with saving his hands from more serious injuries. The gloves absorbed the main impact. Although one glove twisted slightly during the fall, leaving a small cut on his palm, the injury was minor. Part of the glove’s material tore, but his hands were largely unharmed.
These ONYX BLACK 02 – Leather Motorcycle Gloves are made from durable cowhide leather for extra cooling and are perfectly suited for hot days. Flexible TPU knuckle and palm protection ensured his hands stayed shielded without sacrificing comfort or flexibility, making them a top choice for bikers who value sleek design and serious protection.
“The Pando Moto gloves saved my hands upon landing, only a minor wound appeared since the glove twisted a little,” he recalls.
A Reminder That Every Ride Demands Serious Protective Gear
Justinas’ story is a reminder that even at low speeds, accidents can happen in an instant, and proper riding gear for men is crucial. His Pando Moto gloves not only prevented serious injury but also turned a bad day into a moment of trust in a brand that truly stands behind its motorcycle riders.Want the same protection Justinas had?
