Shawn Schild (pictured) began designing gloves more than 20 years ago, back when he was competing as a bareback rider in Rodeo. His goal was to create a glove that would give him an advantage in grip strength, while also protecting his hand. Over the years, Shawn’s gloves have become THE standard in bareback riding and are quickly gaining prominence in bull riding still to this day. This method has been perfected over the years and now built for every successful bareback rider, including all top 15 in the National Finals Rodeo.
Now, Bear Knuckles™ is bringing Shawn’s patented Double Wedge™ ergonomic design to the working man and woman-not just bareback riders. Our gloves are built with curved fingers, the way your hand is naturally. The result is a leather glove that not only has a better grip, but reduces fatigue and lasts much longer.
With Shawn’s rodeo expertise, we know how much strain and pain can be on a hand for 8 seconds. We also know that those who have to wear gloves for work and other strenuous activities actually suffer from these same symptoms all day.
