January 27, 2025 Comments CommentLike the best of all motorcycle gear, a pair of good motorcycle gloves is about both form and function. Not only do they contribute to your overall style, but they also play a crucial role in protecting you as you ride.
Use this guide to the best motorcycle riding gloves to learn how gloves should fit and how you can find the right pair that suits your riding style.
Why Are Motorcycle Gloves Important for Riding?
Whether your bike sports a tallboy or tracker bar, your hands will be expending effort and exposed to the elements wherever you ride. The right pair of motorcycle riding gloves can help keep your hands protected from hazards on the highway like rocks and debris, inclement weather, and more.
Thanks to breakthrough technology advances in glove materials and design, you won’t just get much-needed protection from things like dirt, debris, and abrasions. Motorcycle glove features like pre-curved fingers and power-stretch knuckles lend you a hand in fighting grip fatigue. Plus, breathable fabrics and efficient ventilation can resist gusty winds while keeping you comfortably cool. No matter if you’re looking to take a long tour or take your bike off-road, with the right combination of features and design, you’ll find motorcycle gloves that can support your hands over the long haul.
How Should Motorcycle Gloves Fit?
Beyond choosing the right style and features, you need to land on a pair riding gloves that offer a proper fit.
Like a protective motorcycle helmet, motorcycle gloves should fit snugly but without restricting your movement and without cutting off any circulation. Your fingers should not quite touch the ends of the gloves, but the glove’s fingers should not be too longer either. For a comfortable fit, they should fit smoothly over the hand without any bunching material.
You need to be able to comfortably operate your throttle and controls over long periods, and your gloves should support you doing so comfortably. So, with that in mind, it’s also recommended to actually test the gloves out on a bike before making a final decision.
