Why Should You Wear Motorcycle Gloves?

Good motorcycle gloves do more than just complete the look. Your hands are your only contact with the throttle, clutch, and brake, and they are the first to hit the pavement if you go down. The right gloves protect your grip, your skin, and your control, no matter what the road throws at you.

Gloves are not optional, and riders who have gone down without them will tell you why. Why they’re important:

• Grip Control: Sweat, rain, and cold conspire to steal away your grip on the bars. A glove that fits well will keep your grip in situations that would loosen it.

• Injury Protection: Hands are one of the first things riders reflexively throw out in a fall. Between the road and your skin are padded knuckles and reinforced palms.

• Weather Protection: Exposed hands take a beating from wind, cold, and rain at riding speed. Water-resistant, insulated gloves keep your fingers working, not numb.

Riding with gloves you trust also means fewer distractions. You are not thinking of your hands. You're thinking of the road.

FAQs

• What's the difference between summer and winter motorcycle gloves?

The summer gloves are lightweight and ventilated to keep your hands cool. Winter gloves are insulated and weatherproofed to trap heat and block wind, so the right pair depends on your climate. 

• Are all-season motorcycle gloves as warm as winter gloves?

Not exactly. All-season gloves are moderately insulated to keep you warm in a variety of temperatures without sweating in the summer. Winter riding gloves are built for the coldest riding conditions. 

• Which leather is better, deerskin or cowhide?

Deerskin is softer and shapes to your hand for a tighter grip, while cowhide is thicker and more abrasion-resistant. The better choice depends on whether you prioritize flexibility and comfort or long-term durability. 

• Do motorcycle gloves need knuckle protection?

Depends on how you ride. Knuckle and impact protection add a real safety margin in a fall, and most touring and cruiser riders think it's worth the added bulk. 

• Can I use my phone while wearing motorcycle gloves?

Yes, if you get a touchscreen-compatible pair. The fingertips are made from a conductive material so you can use your phone at the bus stop without removing your gloves. 

• How to choose a motorcycle glove?

Select gloves that have impact protectors for the knuckles and palms, as these are most likely to hit the ground or be dragged along the surface of the road in a crash. Impact protectors need to stay in place in order to do their job of protecting you in a crash.
