Long fingers

Professional cyclists also choose gloves that not only protect their hands from the cold, but also offer additional benefits. To ensure quality cycling, you should also choose gloves that allow you to grip the handlebars more securely.

In addition to the materials, cycling gloves differ in their purpose. For example, when riding a mountain bike, it is important that the gloves protect the palms, fingers and hold the handlebars well. To ensure better grip, they often have palms made of a rougher material that grip the handlebar buttons. Gloves should also be made of a stronger material so that there is less chance of injuring your hands if you fall off the bike. It is important to wear gloves when riding a road bike. They differ from gloves designed for mountain biking in that they are not hardened, but padded - to absorb bumps on the road.

The materials of cycling gloves are chosen according to their purpose. One of the most important properties of the material is moisture absorption, so that the handlebars do not slip from the cyclist's hand. Other properties of the material vary depending on the type chosen. For example, as already mentioned, gloves for mountain bikers are usually made of a harder material that protects the hand from scratches and dirt on the road, and have a silicone base on the fingers to make it possible to better grip the handlebars, turn the gear and brake levers. Special - insulated - gloves are also offered for winter riders, which also have greater protection from rain and snow. Everything is designed to ensure maximum comfort for the cyclist.

When buying gloves, it is very important to choose the right size, as riding in uncomfortable gloves for a long time can cause poor circulation in the hands and blisters on the palms. If you cannot try them on before buying gloves, measure your palm with a flat palm. This makes it much easier to choose the right gloves.

Choose cycling gloves not only based on your hand size, but also the type of bike you choose. Only then should you pay attention to the advantages of different materials.

There are usually two types of gloves: short-fingered and long-fingered. The latter are better suited for riding in warm weather, as they provide adequate ventilation and allow easier control of the gear and brake levers. Fingerless gloves are better suited for winter riding, when it is important to keep your fingers warm, and for mountain biking enthusiasts, to provide better hand protection.
