Cycling Gloves - What To Wear When Riding Your Bike


Cycling is a lot more pleasant if wearing gloves as they can protect your hands from cold weather, the wind, water and vibration from the road.

Perhaps the most important part of choosing gloves is protection from the cold, because unless you live in a tropical area, you'll find gloves pretty much essential from the beginning of Autumn until the end of Spring. For Winter gloves, there are a number of things to look at: insulation, wind-proofing and water-proofing.
  • Plenty of insulation is important, however one thing to bear in mind that if the material is too thick, you'll be constantly be needing to take your gloves off to manipulate small objects like your keys or your mobile phone.

  • Wind-proofing is important because your hands are very exposed on the handlebars, and they'll feel the full force of the wind.

  • The wind can easily suck all the heat out of your hands, but it will do that even quicker if your skin is wet. Thus, water-proof gloves are certainly nice to have. However, fully water-proof gloves can be expensive as they include many seams, each of which has to be sealed against water.
Apart from cold, the other reason to wear gloves is they protect your hands from vibration. Gloves made for cyclists generally have padded palms, although the exact position of the padding may vary depending on the manufacturer. You'll find these a boon, especially if you want to cycle home from the office at the end of a long day and have tired shoulders, arms and wrists.

Here are some cycling gloves:
