Gloves and Goggles
At Motorcycle Medic in Vilas, North Carolina, we carry a curated selection of gloves and goggles built for ATV, UTV, and motorcycle riders who value durability, visibility, and comfort. With 50years of experience in the powersports industry, we know that proper riding gear isn’t just about looking the part—it’s about protection, control, and readiness across changing weather and terrain.
We stock gear we trust ourselves—tested for local trail conditions, mountain winds, and winter work. If you’re looking for gloves that can handle long rides or goggles that don’t fog up on cold mornings, we have proven options ready to go.
Gloves for Work and Ride
Your hands are your most important control point on the handlebars. Whether you’re gripping a throttle or working the plow switch on your UTV, gloves should enhance—not restrict—your feel and responsiveness.
At Motorcycle Medic, we stock riding gloves designed to meet different needs:
All-Weather Gloves:
Perfect for year-round riders, these gloves offer insulation against wind and light moisture while maintaining finger dexterity for throttle and brake control.
Winter Gloves:
Lined and weather-resistant, these are ideal for cold mornings or snow plowing with an ATV or side-by-side.
Mechanic/Utility Gloves:
Great for riders who also wrench, haul, or do winter maintenance, these gloves provide grip, knuckle protection, and all-day wearability.
We pay close attention to features like reinforced palms, adjustable cuffs, touchscreen compatibility, and breathability, so you’re not trading protection for practicality. Not sure which glove fits your riding habits? We’ll walk you through your options in-store.
Goggles that Fit and Function
Visibility is critical, especially for ATV and dirt bike riders navigating dust, snow, mud, or sunlight glare. That’s why we carry riding goggles that meet real-world demands, not just marketing hype.
Our goggle selection includes:
Anti-Fog Coated Lenses:
To maintain clear vision even in cold or humid conditions.
Impact-Resistant Frames:
Built to handle flying debris, tree limbs, or loose gravel without cracking or distorting.
UV Protection:
Essential for high-altitude rides and prolonged exposure to sunlight on reflective surfaces like snow or water.
Comfortable Foam Padding:
Designed to create a secure seal without causing pressure points or slipping during use.
We also stock goggles with interchangeable lenses for changing light conditions and tear-off systems for motocross-style riding. Fit matters—especially if you wear a full-face helmet or need prescription inserts—and we’ll help you test a few options before making a decision.
Built for the Terrain We Ride
Because we’ve serviced thousands of local machines over the decades, we understand the specific challenges riders face around Watauga County. You need gear that holds up under pressure, from tree-lined trails to steep driveways and snow-covered paths.
We don’t overstock cheap imports or low-end brands. We hand-pick gloves and goggles based on what’s worked for us, what customers come back to buy again, and what holds up in the conditions we all ride through. If we do not don the item ourselves, we shall refrain from placing it on the shelf.

Testimonials
I broke my shifter bolt off while riding on the BDR. What they didn't have was an oem replacement bolt for my ktm 500, But what they did have was the skillset and tools required to extract a broken bolt and a replacement bolt that would work. They rolled another bike off a lift and prioritized my bike to get me back on the trail. They saved my weekend!

Pat, George, and Zack always do excellent work for me, and with a fast turn around time! I took my 2008 CBR600RR to get a full tune up plus some mods, and had it back the same week! If it's a motorcycle, dirtbike, 4wheeler, or side-by-side, trust these guys!

These guys were amazing. I would highly recommend this shop. We needed a rear tire replaced since ours died a horrible death after many curvy runs. They not only changed the rear tire on my husband's Honda vtx1800 motorcycle but initially helped us take it off the trailer (with a severely flat tire) but rescued us from certain disaster when my husband went down trying to get it back on the trailer. They didn't have to do the repair as this shop is busy but they fit us in. Thank you to the gentlemen at motorcycle medic for your fantastic service.

Awesome repair shop! Staffed with very qualified mechanics that get repairs done as quickly as possible. It's also run and owed by an incredibly knowledgeable mechanic that's honest as they come. Reminds me of the good old days. There's no upsell or runaround just quality work done for reasonable price. First time customer and now customer for life!
