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:
