How to find the best fit for your motorcycling gloves:
Remember that sizes vary between manufacturers, some gloves may fit slightly different to what you expect based on your measurements.
Choose the right motorcycle gloves style:
What will you use them for?
- KTM gloves offer a maximum level of protection for track and fast riding, but they can be uncomfortable and restrictive for long touring rides. Similarly, touring gloves probably won’t be the best fit for short trips on your motorbike, you will definitely need them if you will be spending lots of riding time on your bike.
What kind of weather do you usually ride in?
- Certain gloves offer better protection from the weather conditions you ride in. The correct pair of gloves should not only fit comfortably on your fingers, it should protect your hands from the temperature, wind, rain, sun, etc. You might want to look for all-weather gloves made of textile if you are looking for one reliable pair for all year around. If you want to ride in warmer temperatures, you should consider a pair of lightweight leather riding gloves to keep the heat off.
- Depending on the nature of your riding you will require different levels of abrasion protection, you should keep this in mind when choosing your motorcycle gloves.
What to look out for when choosing your motorcycle gloves:
- Finger Feel: make sure the gloves are not too tight, but not too loose so that they could slip off. Feeling comfortable in your motorcycle gloves will allow you to have better control of your vehicle and in turn will make your ride safer.
- Size & Fit: do the gloves have adjustable straps, will they fit under or over your motorcycle jacket, do they fit well and comfortably?
- Features & Protection: look at what level of protection the gloves offer; will it be compatible with your motorcycling tendencies? Look at the length of the gloves and whether they are comfortable for you.
- Construction: figure out what material suits your needs best and look for gloves made in such material, will it be leather or textile? The material of your motorcycle gloves will affect their feel, quality, and lifespan.
