Winter gloves

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

Cycling gloves differ not only in their materials, but also in their purpose. For example, when riding mountain bikes, it is important that the gloves protect the palms, fingers, and grip the handlebars well. For better grip, they often have a rougher material on the palms that grips the handlebar ridges. Gloves should also be made of a stronger material so that you are less likely to injure your hands if you fall off the bike. It is also important to wear gloves when riding road bikes. They differ from those for mountain bikes in that they are not hardened, but padded - to absorb bumps on the road.

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

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

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