Choosing Leather Motorcycle Gloves
Tough gloves are essential when riding your motorcycle as if you fall off the first thing you will instinctively do is to reach out your hands to save yourself. Unless you are wearing a pair of gloves that can stand up to the impact you’re hands are going to be severely injured. Motorcycle gloves are available in a range of styles and materials but the best type for safety and good looks are undoubtedly made from leather.
On a cold day leather gloves will keep you warm and if you choose ones with adjustable wrist straps they can be made to fit snugly. Many leather motorcycle gloves come with covers for protecting the leather in the rain and are often insulated for even more warmth in the colder weather.
For a cooler leather glove for summer wear go for a more ventilated design or fingerless gloves.
Some motorcycle leather glove buying tips
- Look for good stitching especially on palms which will get the most impact
- Buy a thick pair for better protection
- Padding on the palm for better impact protection
- Make sure the gloves fit comfortable and are not too tight as this can impair your ability to control your motorcycle
- For winter wear look for extra insulation
- For summer wear look for extra ventilation
- If you tend to fall on fists rather than palms look for extra protection on knuckles
- Longer length gloves with a wrist strap will be more comfortable when riding and provide more protection from bugs, rain and wind
