Choose the right motorcycle gloves style:
What will you use them for?
-
Shop MotoGB gloves offer a maximum
level of protection for track and fast riding, but they can be uncomfortable and
restrictive for long touring rides. Similarly, touring gloves probably won’t be the best
fit for short trips on your motorbike, you will definitely need them if you will be
spending lots of riding time on your bike.
What kind of weather do you usually ride in?
-
Certain gloves offer better protection
from the weather conditions you ride in. The correct pair of gloves should not only fit
comfortably on your fingers, it should protect your hands from the temperature, wind,
rain, sun, etc. You might want to look for all-weather gloves made of textile if you are
looking for one reliable pair for all year around. If you want to ride in warmer
temperatures, you should consider a pair of lightweight leather riding gloves to keep
the heat off.
